NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 89. 



English Historical Literature, the accessibility of our 

 Historical Materials and the Record Oflices. The 

 article has apparently been called forth by a 3Iemorial, 

 addressed to tlie Master of the Rolls, requesting "that 

 persons who are merely engaged in historical inquiry, ' 

 antiquarian research, and oilier literary pursuits con- 

 nected therewith, should have permission granted to 

 them to have access to the Public Records, with the 

 Indexes and Calendars, without payment of any l'"ee." 

 Tliis important document is signed by all the principal 

 historical and antiquarian writers of the day ; we should 

 think, therefore, that there can be little tear of their 

 prayer being refused. The writer of the article in the 

 Gentleman's Magazine has omitted two curious facts, 

 which deserve mention, — one that Plnkerton was 

 stopped in the progress of his History of Scotland by 

 the fees for searches in the Scotch Record Offices ; the 

 other, that those fees in those very offices have recently 

 been remitted. 



Mr. Douglas Allport has Issued Proposals for the 

 publication by subscription of a volume entitled Kits 

 Cotij House, a Monograph, which, as it is to treat not 

 only of Kits Coty House, hut of its Flora and Fauna, 

 the Druidical Circles of Addington and Colebrook, the 

 Antiquarian Relics and Traditions of the neiglibour- 

 hood, Boxley and its Rood of Grace, Chaucer and the 

 Pilgrim's Road, and other vestiges of bygone times, 

 clearly has within its subject the materials for an 

 amusing and interesting volume.
