Copious extracts from the records of the various companies are printed 

 and matters of interest contained in those records are duly set out. 



The index gives, as it should, references conscientiously to every 

 name " of old time " mentioned in the book, some of the modern names 

 being omitted, but in references to matters of interest other than 

 personal names, it might, perhaps have been with advantage fuller. 

 The book is indeed a mine of material for the history of Salisbury, and 

 the author has in many places, as for instance where under the heading 

 of the Brewers Company, he gives us lists of Salisbury Alehouses and 

 Inns and their Keepers, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, 

 gone out of his way to give information not procurable elsewhere. 



Canon Wordsworth, in the introduction, makes an interesting point 

 as to the " sequence of liturgical colours " used at Salisbury. It was 

 formerly stated that green was unknown to Sarum Use, but he points 

 out that in three of the documents given in this book as well as in other 

 inventories elsewhere, there is clear evidence that green vestments were 

 used in Salisbury about 1451 and 1548,
