| Volume VII, Cavalier and Puritan, will be concerned with non-dramatic literature, mainly of the period between 1625 and 1660. Its contents are in an advanced stage of preparation, and we hope to be able to publish this volume before the end of 1910. |

It was originally intended to continue, in the present volume, the account of scholars and scholarship in England from the point reached in Volume III; it has been decided, however, to postpone this continuation until Volume VII.
