B86 Records of the Rhine in the West, A.D. 1605. 



In the ninth line from the bottom of p. 272, for "of that ilk," read " of the 

 same place." 



In the fourth line of Note 1, p. 44, vol. xiv., for u West Monesterienses," 

 read " Westmonasterienses." 



In the last line but one of same note, after " father," add u who was Gilbert 

 Budgell, D.D." 



In Note 1, p. 48, add " Perhaps it was the £ Luck' of the family. In some 

 parts of the country glasses are handed down through generations, and are 

 supposed to hold the fortune of the house. The most famous perhaps of 

 all is the Luck of Muncaster — a curiously-wrought glass cup studded with gold 

 and white enamel spots. This is said to have been given by King Henry VI. 

 to Sir John Pennington, of Muncaster Castle, in 1461. The King had found 

 shelter there from his enemies, and as he left he presented the cup saying, 

 ' your family shall prosper so long as they preserve this unbroken.' (See 

 Roby's Traditions of Lancashire for the ballad upon it and notes.) Then there 

 is the Luck of Edenhall : — 



' This glass of flashing crystal tall, 

 Gave to my sires the fountain sprite ; 

 She wrote in it, if this glass doth fall, 

 Farewell, then 0 Luck of Edenhall.' 



Longfellow's translation of Uhland's poem. 



Edenhall, the seat of the Musgave family, is a few miles from Penrith, Cum- 

 berland." 



At line 21, et sequentia, p. 22, vol, xv., omit the whole passage commencing 

 " There is the following record," down to "felony," and the note. This was 

 inserted by inadvertence. 



At line 8, p. 23, add Note : " This plate, which had fallen into decay, was 

 re-engraved and replaced 16th May, 1788 (Sir R. Hoare's Mod. Wilts), and was 

 further renovated on the restoration of St. Sidwell's Church, a few years since, 

 and is still to be seen (1872)." 



The " Thurloe letters " given in these papers (except those taken from the 

 State Papers in the Record Office, a fact which is I believe, mentioned in the 

 context or notes), are transcripts from Mr. Thomas Birch's Thurloe's State 

 Papers, published in London, A.D. 1742. I have only been able to examine a 

 few of the originals, which are at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, e.g., the In- 

 dictment, and the Plea for the Prisoners at Exeter. 



The Western Circuit Records are in the custody of W. C. Bovill, Esq., Clerk 

 of Assize for that Circuit, to whose kindness I am indebted for a view of them. 



The King's Pamphlets, in the British Museum, a mine of historic wealth of 

 those times, but of various value, I have also examined for these pages.
