18 FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING. 



23rd of Edward III. to a.D. 1571, the 14th of Elizabeth, 

 are believed to be moi'e than a Century older than any 

 simllar records in the klngdom, and have been pronounced 

 to be unrivalled both for antiquity and completeness. It is 

 to be hoped that these docuraents may be carefuUy pre- 

 served in Bath, the raost proper place for them, and not 

 parted vvith to swell coUections in localities with which 

 they have no connection.
