In the first edition of Hutchins's Dorset, p. 13, 1. xxxv., in the account given 

 from John of Brompton, of one of the removals of the hody of Edward the 

 Martyr, there is an error in the date given, viz., 1101 for 1001. This error has 

 heen copied into Adams's History of Shaftesbury, and into the last edition of 

 Hutchins. It will doubtless be rectified in the revised edition now in covu-se
