PREFACE. xix 



and the author is also much indebted for general 

 information most courteously given by the Eev. Dr. 

 Todd, of Trinity College, Dr. E. G. Travers, Marsh s 

 Library, and the Kev. C. P. Meehan; and likewise, 

 through correspondence, by the Eev. James Graves, of 

 Stonyford. 



It now only remains for the author to say, that in 

 the event of any of our nobility or gentry, or other 

 collectors, possessing any manuscript whatever, even 

 although only a copy of matter here produced, he would 

 esteem it a very particular favour to be informed of it 

 (through his publisher), and to be permitted to examine 

 any record, bearing either directly or indirectly on this 

 subject. 



H.D.
