It is felt, however, that to insist on the record of formal 

 expressions, may unnecessarily limit the supply of workers, but 

 no alteration of the sequence of the words of the Inscription must 

 be made, nor the Inscription thrown into Index or alphabetical 

 forms ; an Index can be profitably added. 



Some transcribers make a rough sketch-plan of the Churchyard 

 and refer to the divisions by letters ; this is recommended as a 

 useful method, but is not essential. 



It will be an advantage if the transcripts be verified and signed 

 by the clergy or by some other well known and competent 

 person. This could, however, be done after the deposit in the 

 Libraries and previous to publication, and although desirable, is 

 not essential. 



In addition to those in Churchyards, it is very desirable that 

 the inscriptions in burying grounds attached to Chapels and 

 Meeting-houses, should also be recorded. 



When all the inscriptions of a Church or Churchyard have been 

 completed, they should be sent to the Secretary of the County 

 Society for storage in the Society's Library, or in some suitable 

 Institution, 



When the whole of an Archdeaconry, Rural Deanery, or some 

 such division has been completed, it will be for Societies to 

 consider whether they can print the records in full, or an 

 Index to them. It is very desirable that they should be printed 

 in full. 



Use may often be made of Parish Magazines for reproducing 

 these Instructions, appealing for workers, and in some cases, for 

 printing the results. In the latter case, arrangements should be 

 made for printing off a certain number — say 50 to 100 copies, 

 which can afterwards be bound up.
