Synopsis

Excerpt from Annals of Dover: Including Histories of the Castle, Port, Passage, Religion, the Corporation, Mayors Their Times, Corporation Officials, Representation in Parliament, and Social History

Port and Fortress as fully as the limits of one volume will permit.

In considering the order in which these Annals should be recorded, it had to be remembered that Dover presents many phases, and that, for centuries, many of its institutions have had their special spheres of operation; therefore, I have arranged the Annals in nine sections, under which the histories of the Castle, the Port, the Passage, Religion, the Corporation, the Mayors and their Times, Officers of the Corporation, Dover in Parliament, and Social Life are given.

In gathering my materials I have been aided by the many manuscripts stored in the Dover Corporation''s Muni ment Cabinet, and other records of Dover which are preserved in the British Museum and the Record Office.

In writing of the Castle, however, I had to follow the track of earlier historians, for the original records of thatancient fortress have been scattered or destroyed. It is known, for instance, that an original copy of Magna Charta, deposited at this Castle by Hubert de Burgh, soon after King John signed it, was, in the Reign of Charles I., handed by one of the Constable''s Lieutenants to Sir Robert Cotton, who added it to his library, which is now in the British Museum. The same official dealt in like manner with some Saxon Charters and the famous Domesday Book of the Cinque Ports. The scattering of the Castle Records had begun much earlier and was continued later, therefore it is not a matter of surprise that there is little left at Dover Castle to encourage original research.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
