TAVICE-TOLD tale is a synonym for dismal dulness. 

 Now I am about to tell what, in part, lias 

 already been publislied to the world, and this 

 makes me fearful lest I should be unable to 

 galvanise the subject into any measure of 

 interest for the members of the Club. Yet I 

 have resolved to throw myself on your in- 

 dulgence and do my best. For Minute Book 

 C. 12, although it has been dipped into, has 

 never, to my knowledge, been quoted in any approach to a 

 complete way, and seems to deserve it. 



It is a i^archment-bound small folio, a shabby looking volume 

 without, and roughly kept within ; the writing is by a variety of 

 hands, some of them far from skilful hands. It seems to have 

 been an exceptional thing for the Town Clerk to make the entries.
