"To THE Public." 

 *' The following List of Estates, which was collected by Authority in the year 

 1715, is published, at this Time, with no other View, but to assist the Magis- 

 trates, and other Officers, who shall happen to be intrusted with the Execution 

 of such Orders of Government, as either have already been, or may hereafter be 

 issued, ;for suppressing the Growth, and unhappy Effects, of the present re- 

 bellious Insurrection in the North ; which, its hoped, will caution the Possessors 

 of such Estates, at this Juncture, carefully to keep within the Bounds, of their 

 known Duty, to our Gracious Sovereign King George, and his Rightful Govern- 

 ment over them; unto which, it is conceived, they will find themselves more 

 especially obligated, if they only please to observe, that many of them fwho in 

 the said year neglected to give in such a particular account of the value of their 

 respective Estates, as was then under Severe Penalties required of them by Law) 

 were never, as yet, called upon to answer for such neglect, but gently permitted 

 to go on quietly, and to partake equally with their Fellow- Subjects, of all that 

 Lenity and other blessed Effects of a mild Administration in Government, which 

 these Kingdoms have peacefully enjoyed, ever since the most joyful and happy 

 accession of his late Majesty King George the First, to the Throne. 



" N.B. — The Estates which appear to have been registered but not valued, 

 belong to such as neglected their Duty, in complying with the Legal Orders of 

 the Government at that Time.
