Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 2, Vol. 4 (Athanasius: Select Works and Letters)

In addition to the writers mentioned above, the editor’s manifold obligations are recorded in the introductions and notes. If any have been passed over, it has been due to oversight or the necessity of condensation. For the suggestions and help of personal friends, the editor’s gratitude may be expressed here without the mention of names. However, he may specially mention the Rev. H. Ellershaw and Miss Payne Smith; to the former he owes the translation of the Life of Antony, while the latter has kindly revised the Oxford translation of the bulk of the Festal Letters. Lastly, the many kindnesses and uniform consideration shown to him by the English editor of this series call for his warmest recognition; that they may prove not wholly wasted is the utmost that their recipient can venture to hope.
