These having fulfilled their original purpose, he now again presents, in a new form; and on independent grounds ventures to solicit the favourable suffrages of the public.' Rimbault was an extraordinary man, as his entry in the Oxford DNB attests, and the present collection reflects his wide range of interests, with the articles arranged under the following headings: 'Essays, Notes, &c.', 'Neglected Biography', 'Memorials of Old London', 'Bibliographical Notices', 'Specimens of Ancient Poetry', 'Scraps and Sketches'.
