Faero. He also contributed the note on p. 19, and that on 

 p. 20, on Angria, the Sea Rover, concerning whom, Robert 

 Bloomfield writes in the little poem on Shooter's Hill : — 



" This far-seen monumental tower 



Records the achievements of the brave, 

 And Angria's subjugated power 



Who plundered on the Eastern wave." 



He has also contributed facsimiles of the portions of 

 Rocques' survey, showing Wanstead Manor, and Chelsea 

 as they existed at the date of Kalm's visit. 



The sections on pp. 406-7 have been published by 

 Mr. Whitaker, F.R.S., in the Memoirs of the Geological 

 Survey of England (Geol. of London, 1889, pp. 174-5) as 

 condensed by him from the M.S. of this translation.
