      Old English and Samwise Gamgee's Genealogy - Richard S. Nokes

      Acknowledgements

      The author and Witan Publishers would like to acknowledge the generous support of those without whom this article might not have been written and published.

      —Troy University, for its institutional support

      —James G. Davis, Michael C. Drout, Verlyn Flieger, and Glen Robert Gill for their criticism in the writing of the article.

      —Elizabeth Sklar, for her guidance and wisdom in converting scholarship into new media, and for being available to give advice long after others would have gone to bed.

      —Michael and Nina McNamara, for too many things to list. The oft-used phrase without their support this work would not have been possible seems inadequate to represent their contributions.

      Foreword

      This work is intended to serve as a sample of a monograph by Witan Publishing. Normally, of course, an article of such short length would not appear with such a full apparatus, including sections like this preface, a dedication, acknowledgements page, etc. Witan has produced this tiny article as an example for authors who might be wondering what the final version of their book would look like.

This invention did more than transform publishing from being the work of monastic and commercial scribes; it transformed the world. Universal literacy became a realistic goal, and soon the primary ways of transmitting knowledge became textual. Every aspect of human society has been affected by the print
