COUNTY OF SUFFOLK: Its History as disclosed by existing Records and other Documents. BEING MATERIALS FOR THE HISTORY OF SUFFOLK, Gleaned from various Sources, mainly from MSS., Charters, and Rolls in the British Museum and other Public and Private Depositories, and from the State Papers and the Publications of the Record Commissioners, the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records, and of the Master of the Rolls. COLLECTED AND EDITED BY W. A. COPINGER, LL.D., F.S.A., F.R.S.A., Of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law, and Professor of Law in Owens College and the Victoria University; sometime President of the Bibliographical Society; Author of the Supplement to Hain's 'Repertorium Bibliographicum.' No work of a like character to the above work, and on a similar scale, has ever been attempted for any county. It consists of an index to practically all the material for the history of every town, parish, manor, and hamlet in Suffolk, and individuals connected with it. In the majority of cases the substance of the record or document referred to is given— the object aimed at being twofold: to provide information substantially; and to indicate where further and fuller information may be obtained. The various spellings of the names of each place as found in early documents are given, and the places mentioned in the Domesday Survey, the Hundred Rolls, and other records duly identified. All heraldic and genealogical matters are fully entered, and every Suffolk family will find practically all the recorded particulars relating thereto. It is estimated that the work contains considerably over 100,000 references, and it includes a bibliography of Suffolk authors. Two hundred and fifty Copies only have been printed.

The title and correct collation of the book are as follows: Amanda, A Sacrifice To an Unknown | Goddesse, | or, | A Free-will Offering Of a loving Heart to a Sweet- Heart. | By N.

R. and black Spread-1 Eagle, near St. Dunstans Church. 1653." IT may be remembered that in the beginning of 1883 this scarce book formed the subject of a correspondence in these columns. I had recently purchased a copy from the library of the late Mr. F. Ouvry; and although it was generally in very fine condition, I had a suspicion that in some respects it was not quite perfect. So uncertain, however, were the bibliographers on the subject that the Collation: Small octavo, pp. [xxiv] + 192, auctioneers, in cataloguing the book, failed consisting of half-title, "Amanda," pp. [i, ii], to record any imperfections. The corre- verso blank; frontispiece inserted, and not spondence, though inconclusive to some ex-included in register, facing title-page; title, tent, was of use in enabling me to assure myself of the true condition of the book, and, in verification of the old saying "Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre," I have been successful, after the lapse of two-and-twenty years, in completing my copy from other imperfect examples, and converting it into perhaps as fine a copy as there is in existence. A difficulty arose from the fact that Mr. Hazlitt, in his 'Collections and Notes,' p. 176, recorded a leaf of Errata. I have convinced myself, after an examination of several copies, that no separate leaf of Errata ever belonged to the book. The Errata are, in fact, printed as above, pp. [iii, iv], verso blank; dedication |
