A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To the Rev. Dr. BLISS, Registrar of the University of Oxford, I am indebted for an introduction to the treasures of that University, and for many rare and interesting materials discovered by that gentleman in the course of his studies in many of the first libraries of Britain. To Mr. GATES, of the British Museum, I have to return thanks for much assistance during my long researches in that Establishment. Mr. GEORGE BAKER, of Northampton, will, I trust, permit me to say, that it was in a great measure by the perusal of his invaluable History of Northamptonshire that I was led, as an humble follower, and at a vast distance, to attempt, in the inadequate manner I have done, the compilation of the History of Banbury. To Mr. E. PRETTY, also of Northampton, my acknowledgements are due for many favours; particularly for much valuable information relating to numerous Camps and Specula in his own neighbourhood and in other places; information which would have afforded me ample opportunity of giving a far more extensive and interesting account than I have done of many of those remains of British and Roman times, had I possessed it previously to my announcement of the publication of the first portion of this History. To WILLIAM STAUNTON Esq., of Longbridge House, I have to render thanks for accurate copies of some most rare and interesting Tracts in his collection, and for much information. Mr. READER, the Historian of Coventry, Mr. DUNKIN, the Historian of the Bullington and Ploughley Hundreds of Oxfordshire, and Mr. SHORTT, the Author of the Antiquities of Ancient Exeter, have each afforded me much assistance and information. For the series of Articles relating to the Churches c. of this Neighbourhood I am beholden to Mr. J. H. PARKER, Secretary to the Oxford Society for Promoting the Study of Gothic A rchitecture; Mr. DERICK, A rchitect; and the Rev. J. C. STAF- FOR
