Footnote
A complete set. ‘A valuable project [of Henley’s] was his supervision of the splendid series of Tudor Translations (1892–1903), each work with an introduction by a leading scholar, and finely printed and bound. The series began with Florio's Montaigne and ended with the Tudor Bible, publication of which was in progress at the time of his death' (ODNB).
