It was suggested by the success attendant on the Surtees Society, which had been formed a few years before, to honour the memory of the much-esteemed Historian of Durham, by the publication of Documents illustrating the history of the North of England. The annual subscription to the Surtees Society was Two Guineas. That to the Camden Society, which took a wider scope, and looked for more general support, was limited to One Pound. In the original prospectus its objects were announced as being, "to perpetuate, and render accessible, whatever is valuable, but at present little known, amongst the materials for the Civil, Ecclesiastical, or Literary History of the United Kingdom." William Camden, the Elizabethan historian, the editor of some of the old chronicles, and the topographer of his native "Britannia," was chosen for its presiding genius.
