The plan which has been followedwas not, however, adopted without due consideration: its advantages, on thewhole, appeared to outweigh its obvious defects, and it was, besides, recommendedby ancient precedent, as in the instance of the earlier rolls of the Register of theGreat Seal of Scotland. In printing a volume of such extent, and so abundant in names of places andpersons, many faults, doubtless, will be found. Against some such errors, per-haps, no care or skill on the part of an Editor could wholly provide; and,probably, they who have most reason to know the difficulties which beset a worklike this, will not be the least ready to excuse the imperfections which may bediscovered in its execution.
