Excerpt from The Life of St. Hugh of Avalon, Bishop of Lincoln: With Some Account of His Predecessors in the See of Lincoln Some time ago, after the publication of the Metrical Life and the Great Life of St. Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln, both edited by Mr. Dimock, I determined to endeavour to give to the English reader this interesting biography, as I had previously done that of Bishop Grosseteste. Learning, however, that another volume relating to St. Hugh was to be expected from the same able editor, I naturally deferred the completion of my work till this appeared. The unfortunate illness and death of Mr. Dimock, which deprived historical students of a most valuable guide, retarded the publication of the expected volume (vol. vii. of the Works of Giraldus Cambrensis) for several years. At length it has appeared, the able editorship of Mr. Freeman supplying what was unfinished by Mr. Dimock.
