LOCALITIES MENTIONED IN ANGLO-SAXON CHAR- 

 TERS. 



When Mr. Kemble published the index to his 



truly national code of Anglo-Saxon Charters, he 



-expressly stated that there were many places of 



which he was in doubt, and which are indicated 



hy Italics. 



It is only by minute local knowledge that many 



places can be verified, and with the view of elicit- 

 ing from others the result of their investigations, 



I send you my humble contribution of corrections 



'of places known to myself.

INEDITED LETTER. 



August 24th, 1690, 

 Qu. Coll. Oxon. 

 Dear S', 

 I heartily thank you for the favoixr of your 

 letter, and to shew itt will not fail to wi-ite as 

 often as anything does occurr worth sending, if 

 you think the account I give not troublesome. 

 Dr. Adams, Dr. Rudston, and Delaune have pro- 

 mis'd to write this post : we remembred you both 

 before and after your letters came w*'' S' John 

 Mathews, who staid here 3 nights this weeke. 

 Our militia is gone home cloath'd in Blew coates, 

 but many coxcombs of this city have refused to 

 pay their quota towards the buying of them, rail- 

 ing against my L'^ Abington, who has smooth'd 

 the mob by giving a brace of Bucks last Friday in 

 Port Meed. J. M. has bin expected here this 

 fortnight : the Lady that calls herselfe by his 

 name has bin a good while at Astrop, and has dis- 

 cover'd her displeasure there, that her husband as 

 shee calls him keeps the coach so long from her at 

 Oxford : upon hearing of w'^'' S"" W. H. in a blunt 

 way gave her the old name, w*^*" caus'd some dis- 

 satisfaction and left her smal acquaintance : I 

 heare that the understanding between our Friend 

 and his uncle is not so good as formerly, but I do 

 not think it will end in Abdication. Mr. Painter 

 is admitted Rector of Exeter. The Naked Gospel* 

 was burnt on y' 19th in the Scholes Quadrangle. 

 The Regents first drew up a Petition to have it 

 censured ; then some others more busy than wise 

 tooke upon them to gett it subscribed, and went 

 to coffee houses and taverns as well as colleges 

 for that purpose : these proceedings being ag*'' 

 statute, and reflecting upon the vice ch., gave 

 great offence ; at last he call'd a meeting of y"

 of the letter, was of Queen's College; made B.A.,
