Note 184 — ANNALS OF THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY. (continued 3)
Reading edition
Hearne's MS. Diary, xlviii. 22. The retractation and apology which Hearne afterwards actually submitted to the Vice-Chancellor in court in 1718, when in trouble again for his preface to Camden's Elizabeth, was very similar in style to this. But he was not allowed to read it. Ibid. lxxi. 3 May.
