Collectanea Topographica Et Genealogica Volume 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from Collectanea, Vol. 1: Topographica Et Genealogica In regard to the materials of which the Collectanea is com posed, it is only necessary to observe, that those whose opinion is really of weight - to whom the inspection of a document literatim is more satisfactory than a brief and possibly erroneous abstract or translation - Will scarcely be inclined to find fault with us for presenting them with the originals. It must also be te membered, that the Collectanea is intended to be, not a mere temporary vehicle of amusement, but a permanent storehouse of authentic information, to which reference may hereafter confi dently be made. Rymer's Foedera, or any other collection of documents, may just as well be objected to, since the real fault (if any) rests with the learning of our ancestors, who preferred recording their transactions relative to property and pedigree in a dead language.
