Description
Some twenty years ago, the late Canon White, when reciting the sequence in the Mass for the Dead, the Dies Ire, conceived the idea that a book on the Sibyls would prove an interesting work. He spoke to me about the scheme, desir ing me to collect the materials for this work when I frequented the Reading-room of the British Museum. As, fortunately, I am conversant with several languages, and, moreover, accustomed to work of research, I gladly seconded his wishes to gather from many sources the necessary informa tion. The Canon had in mind to draw with his accustomed skill twelve sketches of the Sibyls, each with the attributes in accordance with their prophecies.
