Excerpt from The Itinerary of John Leland in or About the Years 1535-1543, Vol. 5: Parts IX, X, and XI; With Two Appendices, a Glossary, and General Index Hearne's corrections in the text without foot reference, placing a selection only of the ms. Readings at the foot of the page, which serve as specimens of Stow; and giving all cases where there is any question of meaning or identification. Comparison with the ori ginal works quoted by Leland, where identified, has been also of much assistance. Though a few errors may occur, it is hoped that all requirements are thus fairly satisfied. A final appendix of Welsh matter (glamorganshire) from the manuscript of Collectanea, vol. Iii, closes the volume. It Should be noted that all the extracts from Collectanea which belong to the Itinerary and are printed in this edition - except that found in the Cheltenham ms. - are taken from the ms. Vol. Iii; the most important are the New Year's Gift, the notes and map of the Channel Islands, a large portion on Kent (vol. Iv, pp. 47 the curious description of Anglesea, and further notes on Wales, the last of which I regret are not all gathered together in the volume on Wales owing to my imperfect knowledge of the Collectanea at the beginning of this undertak ing. Reference to the General Index, which has been prepared with care and revision, and to the tables of counties, will, it is hoped, supply the needed links. For the third edition of Hearne's print of the Itiner ary, 1768, Dr. Charles Lyttleton, bishop of Carlisle, sent a few emendations which were inserted by Mr. Pote the publisher; three of these referring to names of places I add to the list of errata in the present volume; others had been already made in the course of my collation.
