GENERAL REMARKS. 



From this valuable document we obtain some interesting 

 information respecting the state of the Monastery of St. Mary, 

 at York, at the period to which it relates : but it is to be 

 regretted that we have not the fuller information which the 

 Bursar's roll, comprising the accounts of all the inferior officers, 

 would undoubtedly have afforded. 



This document contains four lists of the brethren then in the 

 establishment, from which we learn that the whole number of 

 them, including seven Novices, amounted to thirty-nine ; beside 

 the Abbot and the Prior. From a manuscript in the Bodleian 

 Library at Oxford, containing "Annals of the Monastery of 

 St. Mary at York," it appears that in the year 1258, thirty-one 

 monks, including two ' not professed,' voted at the election of 

 the Abbot Simon de Warwick ; and as the contest between him 

 and the Prior of the Monastery was very severe, Simon having 

 gained his election by a majority of only one, it is most probable 

 that there were not more than the above number then in the 

 House.* At the dissolution of the Monastery in 1540, the 

 number of monks, including one Novice, was forty-eight. The
