Description

INTRODUCTION

This volume of Additional Manuscripts (Add Mss) has been compiled on the lines as indicated in the Introduction to its predecessor. Deeds of title, court rolls and maps comprise a large part of these documents, but there will also be found estate accounts (Add Mss827-829), correspondence relating to tithe commutation (Add Mss863), a notebook relating to a survey of the river Adur (Add Mss1000), one of Humphry Repton's 'Red Books' (Add Mss520), papers of John Charles Brooke, Somerset Herald (Add Mss523), and letters relating to Queen Caroline (Add Mss733). The documents range in date from a deed of Thakeham of 1467 (Add Mss882) to the court book of the hundredal manor of Aldwick (Add Mss871) which remained in use until the end of 1949

Students are again asked to exercise care in quoting these documents, and to use the form indicated in the Introduction to the earlier volume
