“I have gon, and rid, and rote and sought and searched with my own and friends Eyes, to make what discoveries I could therein…. And I stand ready with pencil in one hand and a sponge in the other, to add, alter, insert, expunge, enlarge, and delete, according to better information, And if these my pains shall be found worthy to pass a second impression, my faults I will confess with shame, and amend with Thankfulness, to such as will contribute clearer intelligence unto me.”…Fuller, Worthies of England, (1662). |
