piety of their ancestors, than to pre- 

 serve any memory of them, and has 

 already destroyed the greatest part 

 of these I am going to mention ; I 

 hope it will appear in a different 

 light to the learned society of Anti- 

 quaries, whose chief care is to col- 

 lect and preserve to futurity a faith- 

 ful remembrance of whatever con- 

 cerns former ages. 



If a time should ever come when 

 an exact account of this small part 

 of the British nation shall be found 

 interesting, the following lists of 

 these establishments, collected with 

 care and exactness, may not prove 

 unwelcome, as they may lead to 

 sources where a complete account 

 of each of them may be found. 



I shall make no farther apology 

 for this essay than to beg it may 

 be considered rather as a testimony 

 of my profound respect for the 

 learned society to which I have 

 the honour of presenting it, than 

 for any intrinsic value which I attri- 

 bute to it.
