64 PIPE LEASES FOR DORSET. 



The Index referred to is merely a list, more or less in 

 chronological order, and the first three entries for Dorset read 

 as follows : 



No. 165 3 Charles I. John Warren &c. C. 

 171 3 Robert Stickland C. 



213 4 John Warren &c. C. 



It will be seen, therefore, that very little information is 

 vouchsafed in the Index, but on examination of the documents 

 themselves it was found that they were full of interesting 

 topographical and genealogical information, and, with a view 

 of enabling others to participate in their contents, I went 

 through all the Dorset leases and compiled the Calendar now 

 presented. 



Of course there are many other series of Calendars or 

 Indexes of Crown Leases ; and a reference to Mr. Bird's 

 Handbook will convince anyone that many years might be 

 spent in compiling Calendars (not to mention extracting the 

 contents of the Leases themselves) relating to Dorset only. 

 This particular Index, however, being comparatively short 

 and in a little book by itself, I thought it worth while to extend 

 it into a Calendar, and I hope it will be found interesting and 

 useful.
