THE VICTORIA HISTORY OF THE COUNTIES OF 



ENGLAND 



The publication of the volumes which form the History of 

 Hampshire and the Isle of Wight is due to the financial support afforded 

 by the Right Hon. the Viscount Hambleden, the Right Hon. the 

 Viscount Alverstone, G.C.M.G., the Right Hon. the Lord Ashcombe, 

 Mr. O. E. D'Avigdor Goldsmid, D.L., Mr. Somerset A. Beaumont, 

 D.L., and the late Mr. Frank McClean, F.R.A.S., of whose public 

 spirit and generosity it is here desired to make special recognition.
