arranged under the names of parishes, and the list occupies pages 402 
to 410 inclusive. The total number of Acts catalogued is seventy 
four. 
Britton’s second contribution towards a bibliography of the county 
is to be found on pages 422 to 436, inclusive, and is entitled “‘ 4 List 
of Books, Maps, and Prints, that have been pwhlished illustrative of 
the Topography of Wiltshire.” There is a brief general list of 
“county works,” and then the items are arranged under the names 
of places to which they refer in alphabetical order. The earliest 
items are ‘ Sazton’s quarto Map of Wiltshire,’ engraved by R. 
Hogenbergius, 1575; “ Wiltshire’s Resolutions, presented with the 
contributions of divers gentlemen to His Majesty’s Commissioners at 
Oxford,” 1642; and the “ Arraignment and Conviction of Mervin, 
Lord Audley, Earl of Castlehaven, who was by twenty-six peers of the 
realm found guilty on Monday, 25th of April, 1611; with his portrait,” 
London, 1642. It should be mentioned that this list is an enlarge- 
ment of one published at the end of the account of Wiltshire in 
Britton and Brayley’s “ Beauties of England and Wales,” 1814, vol. 
xv., part 2, preceding the index, but unpaged. 
Also it should be mentioned that in Britton’s Hssay on Topo- 
graphical Literature, published in 1843 in conjunction with Canon 
Jackson’s History of the Parish of Grittleton, there is a list of works 
published on Wilts. 
With regard to Britton’s own works, they are all fully described 
in his Autobiography, vol. ii., 1849, by his secretary, Mr. T. E. Jones.

Magazine, vol. xiv., pp. 107—120 inclusive, and is entitled a “ List 
of Books, Papers, Maps, Sc., on the Geology, Mineralogy, and 
Palaeontology of Wiltshire.’ The list, which is prefaced by an 
alphabetical index of authors, eighty-nine in number, contains the 
titles of one hundred and sixty-nine papers, &c., arranged according 
to their dates of publication, the period covered being from 1700 to 
1873. It is a most valuable handy list of reference to the articles on
