BOOKS REFERRED TO IN THE NOTES, etc.
The following is a list of some of the principal books referred to in the Notes or elsewhere, as being serviceable for the explanation of Chaucer. I omit several that are but rarely mentioned, and are, at the same time, sufficiently indicated. Some are included of which I have made but little use.
