Notes

1. I cannot resist quoting M.'s statement that Fraenkel, ‘appreciated Oxford and England but was refreshingly detached from it’ (p. 348)Google Scholar. Whether Fraenkel regarded England as coterminous with Oxford, I cannot say; but it seems that M. himself did.

2. The editing is efficient and unobtrusive. Macleod's own addenda and corrigenda have been gathered together at the end of the book (pp. 339–46) and given the appropriate crossreferences. Most of the papers have been reproduced photographically from their original place of publication; this not only gives the book an unsightly and at times unduly cramped appearance but also means that the editor has sometimes been unable to indicate that M.'s anonymous references to his own publications can actually be followed up in the present book.
