Book Description

Excerpt from The Visitation of Wiltshire, 1623 I am not aware whether any report of this trial exists, but the memorandum is valuable as showing that this ms. Was received as evidence by the Court. Having said thus much it is only necessary to offer a few words of ex planation as to method followed in editing the manuscript here given. My sole aim and object has been to reproduce it in type with as little variation as possible, so that my readers may to all practical intents and purposes consult these pages confidently feeling that they faithfully represent the original document, and are not, as in my opinion many printed Heralds' Visitations are, mere over-edited compilations in which the labours of the editor serve rather to mislead than to assist the intelligent student.
