THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ESSEX. 



A\ influential Committee, consisting mainly of members of the Essex Field 

 Club and the Essex Archaeological Society, has been formed for the purpose 

 of arranging for the compilation and publication of a comprehensive Bibliography 

 of Essex, which shall enumerate all books, pamphlets, magazine articles, maps, 

 prints, and other publications that wholly or largely treat of the Topography or 

 History of the County of Essex ; or that have been written by, or about, prominent 

 natives of, or residents in, the county ; together with all works that have been 

 published within its borders. Lord Rayleigh has consented to act as President ; 

 Mr. F. Chancellor, Treasurer ; and Messrs. E. A. Fitch and Miller Christy Hon, 

 Secretaries. When the work is considered sufficiently complete, the MS. will be 

 offered to the Essex Field Club, for publication as one of the " Special Memoirs." 

 On Wednesday afternoon, March i8th, the first meeting of the Committee was 

 held in the Shire Hall, Chelmsford. Dr. Henry Laver, of Colchester, was voted 

 to the chair, and others present were Messrs. Thomas Bird, Romford ; Fred 

 Chancellor, Chelmsford ; Wm. Cole, Buckhurst Hill ; E. Durrant, Chelmsford ; 

 Arthur J. Furbank, Chelmsford ; J. Chalkley Gould, Loughton ; J. C. Shenstone, 

 Colchester ; Miller Christy, Chelmsford ; E. A. Fitch, Maldon and W. H. Dal- 

 ton. It was agreed that the AsFociation should be known as the " Essex Biblio- 

 graphical Committee," and it was resolved that it should consist of not more than 

 thirty members, and that the contribution of each member should be two guineas. 

 Lord Rayleigh, who wrote expressing his approval of the scheme, was elected 

 President of the Committee, Mr. Chancellor, Treasurer, and the election of the 

 Hon. Sees, was confirmed. Messrs. G.Alan Lowndes, Bird, Durrant, and Gould, 

 with the Officers, were appointed an Executive Committee, with power to add 

 two other members to their number. The General Rules for the guidance of the 

 Executive Committee were agreed to, and it was understood that a set of complete 

 rules to be observed by the compilers would at once be drawn up, together with a 

 typical set of specimen title-slips, &c. Any further information will be gladly 

 given by the Hon. Secretaries, Mr. E. A. Fitch, Brick House, Maldon, and Mr. 

 Miller Christy, Chelmsford. The members of the Club are strongly urged to aid 

 the Committee in any way in their power — a good bibliography of the county 

 would be of the greatest service to all interested in Essex.
