Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Clerk´s Book of 1549 It would hardly be honest of me to present the following pages to the Society with my name prefixed as Editor, unless I made it clear that in them I have done little but play the part of the rhapsodist, one who stitches and strings together the information brought to him by others. Mr. Cuthbert Atchley is chief amongst those who have so kindly furnished me with material; in fact, the book ought really to be called his, and I do not know of any reason why he should not have edited the work in his own name, except that he does not live in London, and thus could not have daily access to the only copy of the Clerk´s Book that is at present known to exist. In arranging the materials for the introduction so freely offered to me, and in choosing them, I have not in all cases followed Mr. Atchley´s recommendations, and he is free from all responsibility for defects thus ensuing; but I must express my very sincere thanks and heart-felt gratitude for the generosity with which he has placed the results of his prolonged researches so completely at my disposal. In investigations which I have made on my own behalf I have been much helped by the lists of Parish and other accounts, which have been published by Mr. B. L. Hutchins in Notes and Queries, 1899 and 1900, Ninth Series, Vol. IV. and Vol. V. I have found the references to the churchwardens accounts very valuable. I am also much indebted to Mr. James Christie´s work, which has for its title. Some Account of Parish Clerks, printed at the expense of the Company of Parish Clerks in 1893, but not published.
