[By iJie kind permission of His Grace the Duke of Rutland. ) 



The warmest thanks, not only of the members of our Derby Archaeological 

 Society, but of every intelligent Derbyshire man, are due to Mr. Carrington 

 for his devoted labours in the transcription of all the muniments at Haddon. 

 The editor desires very heartily to acknowledge his obligation to Mr. Car- 

 rington not only for this most valuable paper, but for the loan of all his 

 transcripts of the Haddon muniments relating to the ancient Rutland estates 

 in Derbyshire. They have all been copied by the editor, by the generous per- 

 mission of His Grace the Duke of Rutland, for future use in this Journal. 

 Mr. Carrington's work, extending over several years, has been purely a labour 

 of love, and his transcripts are marvels of painstaking accuracy ; indeed, 

 none but those who have had similar work in hand can fully comprehend the 

 intense amount of labour revealed by these volumes. Every quaint abbrevia- 

 tion, every peculiarity of orthography, has been reproduced by Mr. Carrington, 

 so much so, that without sight of the originals, an expert might almost deter- 

 mine the date of the document from the transcript. May he long be spared 

 to prosecute his devoted labours in the county. — Ed.
