If any Fellows of our Society have lately perused the copious literature on those Memorials of St. Thomas which were long the glories of Christ Church, the cathedral church of Canterbury, and vanished in 1538, I would ask them to compare their experience of the result with mine. I rose from the perusal with a hazy vision of those objects and of the transactions concerning them, such haziness arising from the confused manner in which the notices of them were treated, the neglect to seek for definite meanings of terms, the clinging to sham tradition as if it were real history. In such cases the proper remedy is that which is now being applied to the general history of our country, namely, to rebuild the story out of affirmative evidence arranged in order of date and construed in harmony with known events and practices. I propose to apply that remedy here.
