Page 3. “Red heath.” The Editor was too precipitate in pronouncing this to be “Snelsmore Common.” It was undoubtedly what is now known as Greenham Common, south-east of Newbury, See also at page 142, and refer to Walker's Historical Discourses, page 108.

Page 16. “Armour of woove worke.” It may be questioned whether this should not be “of a rare worke.” The word is extremely indistinct. See folio 29 of the MS.

Page 39. “[few].” The brackets should be omitted,, as the word is the author's.

Page 101. Note. This is not the monument of Henry Earl of Bridgewater, but of Sir Giles Daubeney, whose will, dated March 3, 1444, was proved at Lambeth March 2, 1445. He desires “to be buried in the church of St. Peter the Apostle at South Petherton, before the altar of St. Mary.” The crest is not a plume of feathers, but a holly tree, and the same may be seen on the garter-plate of Giles Lord Daubeney at Windsor.

Same page. For “ploro” read plora.

Page 103. For “[? Erpingham]” read [Chidioke].

Page 177. For “quiquid, read qui quid”.

Same page. For “famalise,” read familise.

Page 183. It has been suggested that “she. 11.” might mean Sheriff, Rebel; but, besides the repetition of the designation R, Sir William Herrick does not appear in the list of Sheriffs.

Page 203. “Ludlowe['s] men,” a mistake of the printer; it is Ludlowe men.

Page 224. For “[Fretchville],” read [Freschville.]

Page 230. “Crosse built by Edward III. in memory of Elianor hisqueene.” This is Symonds's own error, and should, of course, be Edward I.
