Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bruce The main point about Hart's edition (h) is that it supplies 39 lines not found in either ms., with an expansion of two others into eight, 45 new lines in all. The expanded portion Skeat perforce relegates to the footnotes. Twelve lines from Hart in the last book he at first accepted as genuine, but finally discarded as an interpolation.3 He might justifiably have gone further, for he seems to me to have erred in attach ing undue importance to Hart's unsupported contributions.
