PBEFATORY NOTICE.
THE Relics collected in this volume are de-
rived from various sources. Some time ago
Mr John Morris most generously placed at my
disposal the valuable collection of Gray Papers,
described in the Appendix to Mr Gosse's edition
of Gray (Vol. IV. p. 339). I desire to express my
gratitude for the great courtesy through which I
have been able to give here in full the Journals
in France and Italy, and the notes of travel in
Scotland, from that collection.
I must also record my great obligation to the
kindness of Mr Chaloner W. Chute, of the Vyne,
Hampshire, who allows me to print some letters
written by Gray to John Chute which have not
yet been published, except in. the c History of the
Vyne.'
The collection made by Mitford (now in the
British Museum) was I believe intended to
supplement his long labours over Gray. It is
•contained in four volumes (bound in two) of
MSS. (32,561; 32,562 Add. MSS.) ; part of these
