The Committee appointed by the Council on the 12th December, 1865, to collate the fifth volume of the Paston Letters with the original manuscripts exhibited to the Society on the 30th November, 1865, by Philip Howard Frere, Esq., beg to report that, in conformity with the directions of the Council, they invited E. A. Bond, Esq., Joseph Burtt, Esq., P. H. Frere, Esq., James Gairdner, Esq., T. D. Hardy, Esq., Sir Frederic Madden, and Herman Merivale, Esq., to act on this Committee. Mr. Gairdner declined the invitation; and Mr. T. D. Hardy found himself unable, from the pressure of other business, to give the necessary attendance; but all the other gentlemen cordially accepted the invitation, and took part in the labours of the Committee.
page 38 note a The Committee, as originally appointed, consisted of—
page 38 note b Vol. iii. Pref. p. xvi.
page 39 note a Advertisement to vol. v. p. vii.
page 40 note a Advertisement to vol. v., p. viii.
page 40 note b Ibid. p. ix.
page 44 note a In conformity with the methodical character of Sir John Fenn, this noting seems to have been made as the various portions of the work it indicated were completed. When a letter had been copied, he wrote upon it, ‘Copied,’ on one line, and J. F. nnder it. When the noting had been completed, he added after the “Copied,” “and noted.” Instances occur of “Copied,” and “Copied and,” the noting never having been completed, and “noted” therefore never added.
