1 Several towns in England having the same name, it is difficult to apportion 

 the Tokens bearing that name. Under the name of Bradford there are tokens 

 in Yorkshire, Wilts, and Somerset. By searching Parish Registers, and by 

 other kinds of inquiry, Mr. Boyne has done his best to distinguish them. To 

 Bradford in Yorkshire, he assigns the following : Wm. Bancks. — John Cooke 

 1666. — John Cook and Josiah Farrand. — John Durham 1667. — Wm. Hopkinson. 

 — Thos. Ibbotson. — John Preston 1666. — Jacob Selbee 1665. — To Bradford (near 

 Taunton) Co. Somerset, Will. Serle 1659. Those in the text, to Bradford, Wilts, 

 now called Bradford-on- Avon. It will be seen by reference to Wilts Archaeolo- 

 gical Magazine, vol. v. p. 50, that some of the Tokens there considered to belong 

 to Bradford in Wilts, are among those assigned by Mr. Boyne to Bradford in 

 Yorkshire. Editor.

 issuer of the Token, not the coat of arms of the Methuen family. Editor.
