DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATE. 



The accompanying page of photographs illustrates some of these small "hand- 

 maids of history," which have been chosen to represent as far as possible all 

 parts of the county. The numbers within brackets are those of Boyne's work 

 referred to in the previous pages. 



1. Samuell Miller in Abbots Burey. (B. 2) 



Although the surname of Miller occurs in the parish about 1650-70, I have 

 been unable to identify Samuel the issuer.

 He was taxed for 2 hearths in 1664.

In a subsidy roll of 1661 Geo Ollive, or occupier, is taxed 3s. 5d. for a 

 tenement in Church Street valued at 3. 



11. Edward Burd of Shaston. (B. 136A) 

 See note under No. 136 ante 



12. John Bushrod of Sherburne. 1668. (B. 158)

15. Henry Harbin in Warham. 1657. (B. 192) 



In 1664 "Mr. Henry Harbyn " was taxed for 7 hearths, and was 

 apparently a defendant in an Exchequer suit dated 1653 concerning the 

 tithes of the adjoining parish of East Stoke. 



16. Francis Reed in Waymouth. (B. 202) 

 See note under No. 202 ante 



17. Thomas Flory in Winburne. 1670. (B. 222) 

 IS. Mil: Webster in Wooll. (B. 224) 



This trader is not mentioned in the register of Wool, or in any of the more 

 accessible records. The surname of Webster, however, occurs frequently 

 in the neighbourhood of Poole during the period 1650 to 1700, and as there 

 is no other parish of Wool, or any bearing a similar name, we may, I 

 think, safely regard this as a Dorset token.
