J .) :h V\ )\ (I '0 • Y I i li n :-: V I li u / PREFACE rriHE precise form which a County Bibliography should 7*^ take — both as regards its contents and arrangement — is a matter on which there is room for much diversity of opinion. A glance at the Bibliographies compiled for the Counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Kent, and Norfolk will show how differently such a work may be treated. In order that the scheme which we have adopted may be readily appreciated, we will state briefly what have been the reasons which have guided us in the selection, treatment, and arrangement of the works noticed in these volumes. Whether these reasons are held to be sufficient or insuffi- cient will depend largely on what is considered to be the main purpose, which a local bibliography is intended to serve. Such a work will generally be consulted by two classes of readers, viz.. Students of Local History, and Collectors of Topographical Books; and it is therefore their requirements which should receive most consideration at the hands of the bibliographer. Unfortunately, however, these requirements are by no means identical, and it often happens that the wants of the one class must be subordinated to the wants of the other. Our primary aim has been to provide the student of Gloucestershire and Bristol history with a ready means of ascertaining all that has been written about these localities, and of knowing whether a particular book is likely to be of service to him before he has examined it. VI. PEEFAOE Our secondary aim has been to supply the Book Collector with an accurate and descriptive catalogue, which will aid him in completing his collection of Gloucestershire and Bristol books, and in ascertaining whether his copies of such books are perfect. These are the principles which have mainly determined the form of our work. I. Selection. When we first seriously entertained the idea of compiling a bibliography of literature relating to Gloucester- shire and Bristol we found it necessary before entering on our task to define its limits. At the outset it was apparent that if we put as extended an interpretation on "literature" as some County Bibliographers have done, our work would be unduly voluminous. We therefore decided to omit all notices of MSS., Prints and Maps. Printed matter and manuscripts require very different treatment, and there is a hard and fast line between them. Prints and maps, though of much local interest, are not literature in the strict sense of the word. With these reservations we determined to give to literature a very wide signification, and to make it include not only Books, but also Pamphlets, Chap Books, Broadsides, News- papers, Parish Magazines, and Reports of Local Institutions. It may be thought by some that literature of this class is hardly deserving of notice. We venture to think that its omission would seriously lessen the value of a local biblio- graphy to the student. Except in a few cases, the existence of printed works, of sufficient size to entitle them to the name of books, is known ; and copies of them are generally to be found in public libraries. The student desires to be made acquainted with works that are not generally known or easily procurable. It is this kind of ephemeral literature which so often throws side lights upon history, and which, by a notice in a bibliography, may be rescued from oblivion. In order to lighten the labours of local historians in the future, we have also included in our work Articles in Magazines and Reviews, PREFACE VU. Papers in the Transactions of Societies, Parliamentary Papers, Orders of County Council, and Acts of Parliament. Having assigned this definition to literature, we had next to consider what relation works falling within that definition must bear to G-loucestershire or Bristol to entitle them to notice in these volumes. We determined that such relation must be not merely nominal but substantial; i.e., that the contents of the works noticed must have some local reference. This limitation excludes much that is often described as " local literature." For example, it excludes works on general subjects written by local authors, works from the presses of local printers, and sermons or speeches delivered in a parti- cular locality but having no other reference to it. Such litera- ture throws but little light on County history, and we venture to think that its inclusion in a County bibliography is generally a mistake. But in counties where there have been important presses, as was the case in Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, exceptions to this rule in favour of early locally printed works might very properly be made. It remained to consider whether works which only partially fulfilled the necessary condition, e.g., works on general topo- graphy or on other general subjects, which contained references to Gloucestershire or Bristol, should be included. We decided that they should when the references they contained to those localities were of a substantive character, and of some length or importance. This course has been adopted by Colonel Piswick in The Lancashire Library, but not nearly to the same extent as by us. Having settled these preliminary matters, we were in a position to formulate the following rule, which concisely de- fines the limits of our work. We determined that our Manual should comprise only Printed matter, the contents of which relate in whole or in part to the County of Gloucester or to any part of it, or to the City of Bristol. VUl. PEEFAOE To this rule we have made occasional exceptions. For example, we have included a very few works— such as Barksdale's Nympha Libethris or the Cotswold Muse — the contents of which have no local reference, but the prominence of some local name on the title seemed to demand admittance into a collection of Gloucestershire books. It was our original intention to include biographies of all who had some title to be considered Gloucestershire men ; but we have been compelled with reluctance to abandon it in order that our work might not exceed its present dimensions. The history of a county is so interwoven with the history of its inhabitants that what relates to the one must almost of necessity relate to the other. We have copied the titles of more than 2000 works relating to the lives of inhabitants of Gloucestershire or Bristol. These, together with many original biographical notes, may perhaps be issued at some future day, either as a supplemental volume to this Manual, or as an independent work. Where there is an obvious and marked connection between works of a biographical character and a particular locality we have noticed them under the head of that locality. For example An English Gauntry Squire as sketched at Hardwicke Court will be found under " Hardwicke " ; pedigrees of families, described as of a particular place, we have placed under that place; and literature relating to the Berkeley Law Suits is noticed under "Berkeley." II. Treatment. The titles of all books and tracts relating exclusively to the County, which would be likely to be included in a collection of topographical books, have been given in extenso, and we have endeavoured to copy them with minute accuracy, even to the reproduction of errors in spelling and punctuation. Quotations on the title, except when very short, have however been omitted, and their omission indicated thus, "[Quot.]." In the titles of such works the only other abbreviations employed are "Pr." for Printed, and "Pub." for Published. In the case of works noticed only on account of their contents (e.g.. Acts of Parliament, Orders of the County Council, etc.) and of works containing references to the County, the titles have been sometimes abbreviated. These abbreviations have been indicated thus . . . The size of every work noticed has been usually given approximately, as foL, 4to., 8vo., 12mo. ; but we have some- times discriminated between the varieties (e.g., royal, demy, post, etc.) which these terms include. The domicile of the copy of each important or rare work examined has been indicated. The number of printed pages of every paged book noticed has been given, and the number of leaves of unpaged books.. In the case of standard or important works the type in which they are printed has been stated, and the signatures have been given as well as the number of pages. In such cases the prelimmary matter has been generally described. In the case of some pamphlets the only description given, besides the size, is the number of pages, e.g. " Pp. 16." When this is so, it may be inferred that the title is included in the pagination. Lists of plates have only been given where no list is found in the work described, except in the case of two or three of our leading county histories. On works that would be prized by a collector we have aimed at making our notes descriptive. In other cases they will be found to be rather explanatory. We have occasionally given our opinion of the character or value of a work noticed, but generally criticism has been avoided. Whenever the connection of a work with the locality under which it is classed is not evident from the title, an explanatory note has been added. The authorship of anonymous works,, when ascertainable, has been stated. We have very rarely been satisfied with information at second hand. Indeed almost every book noticed has been examined by both of us, and the notes made by the one have been checked by the other. In X. the very few cases where an unseen work has been noticed, . it is so stated in our notes, and the source from which the title has been obtained is almost always given. III. Arrangement. This may be either alphabetical under authors' names (as in the BibUotheca Cornubiensis, and Bibliotheca Staffordiensis) or local (as in the Bibliotheca Dorsetiensis, and BibUotheca Cantiana). We venture to think that for almost every reason the latter arrangement is prefer- able. Those who consult county bibliographies do not generally want to know what has been written by a particular person, but what has been written about a particular place. For this reason our primary classification of works noticed has been under the headings of the localities to which such works refer. We shall however give an index of authors at the end of Vol. iii. The main headings of our work are : I. Works relating to the County generally. II. Works relating to the Forest of Dean. III. Works relating to the City of Gloucester. IV. Works relating to particular Towns and Parishes. V. Works relating to the City of Bristol. When works relating to any particular locality are very numerous (as is the case with those referring to the County generally, Gloucester, Bristol, and to some of the larger towns) they have been subdivided ; but subdivisions have only been resorted to when a particular branch of literature would overshadow the rest. For example, among works under the " County Generally," those relating to " County Administra- tion " have been allotted a class to themselves. Similarly, " Guides " have been separated from other literature relating to Cheltenham ; and "Acts of Parliament " and " Periodicals," will often be found under sub-headings. In Class I. it has been thought best to separate works relating exclusively to the County from those which only contain references to it. XI Dated works in each sub-division have been arranged chronologically. We have preferred this to an alphabetical arrangement, which is practically useless until the reader has mastered the system on which it is based. A chronological arrangement has also the advantage of serving to some extent the purpose of an annual register, as it constitutes a record of all events, which gave rise to any literature, in the order of their occurrence. Undated works have been arranged alphabetically at the end of dated works. Here, and in all sub-divisions where an alphabetical system has been found necessary, the works have been arranged in accordance with the first word, not an article, of their titles. Works of which an approxi- mate date has been ascertained, but which have no date on the title, have been placed among the dated works with a cross- reference under undated works. In such cases the date prefixed to them in the chronological arrangement is enclosed in a bracket. Periodicals relating to a particular locality, when suffi- ciently numerous, have been arranged alphabetically, either in a single class or under sub-headings. Periodicals relating to Parishes will generally be found among the dated works under the year when they first appeared. The Periodicals relating to County Administration have also always been placed under the date of the first of the series. This was done in order to keep all works relating to County Administra- tion together, and because the date of the first number of each series was known. An alphabetical list of County Administration Periodicals has however been added. It only remains for us to express our gratitude to the many friends and acquaintances who have aided us in our labours. Our special thanks are due to Mr Phelps, of Chestal, to Mr Pox, of Yate House, and to Mr Braikenridge, of Bath, for having allowed us to spend many hours in examining the contents of their splendid libraries. All of the illustrations in the first volume of the L.P. Edition of our Manual have, with the kind permission of Mr Phelps, been taken from works in the Chestal library. Our notice of Bristol tracts would have been far less complete, were it not for the help which we received from the late Rev. B. H. Blacker. Mr H. W. Bruton, Mr C. T. Davis, and Mr E. C. Sewell have repeatedly given us much valuable information, and made many useful suggestions. Some of the discontinued Gloucester Newspapers would have escaped our notice but for information supplied by Mr H. Y. J. Taylor. Mr Bellows has most kindly revised our statements as to the type in which important works are printed. Permission granted to us by Mr C. H. Dancey, Mr Clement Moore and Mr W. N. Skillicorne to inspect their collections of local books has been of great service to us ; and we have received much kind assistance from others, whose names, though too numerous to mention, are gratefully remembered. We have had occasion to consult large numbers of books in the British Museum and Bodleian Libraries, and we desire to express our gratitude to the officials of both Institutions for their unfailing courtesy and attention. We do not claim that these volumes form an exhaustive catalogue of Gloucestershire and Bristol Literature. Biblio- graphers know well how idle such a claim would be. We can however assure our subscribers that we have spared neither time nor trouble in making our work as complete as it lay in our power to do. CONTENTS OF VOLUME I.

"pp. 72 A— K2 with a frontispiece" is inaccurate and was probably taken from the reprint. The signatures are at first irregular. Leaving the frontispiece out of account, the book comprises pp. 70. The title (pp. 1-2) is, as usual, unsigned. Page 3 is signed A2 and page 6, B. After this the signatures proceed systematically in fours, the first 3 out of every 4 being signed and the 4th being always blank. Thus, pp. 5-70 are .signed B, B2, B8 [B4], ... 1, 12, IS [14], K. The Poems end on K verso. Thirty-two out of the thirty-four are by the Authors whose names appear on the title. The one stated to be by "R.N"." is said in a M.S. note on the title of the Grenville copy in the British Museum to be by R. Newburgh. These thirty-three poems are eulogies on Robert Dover and his Olympic Games. The thirty-fourth (of which no mention is made on the title) is by Robert Dover himself, and is entitled, " A congratula- tory Poem to My Poeticall and Learned Friends, Compilers of this Book." It is inserted between the verses by R.N. and those by Thos. Heywood, and is the last poem but one in the original edition. The Frontispiece Is a quaint woodcut intended to represent various scenes at the Games, e.g., coursing, single sticks, wrestling, dancing, feasting, etc., with an equestrian portrait of Robert Dover at the foot. It is minutely described by Anthony Wood under his notice of Clement Barlradale in EXCLUSIVELY RELATING TO GLOU0E8TEESHIRE Athenenm Oxononienses. Facsimiles of the Frontispiece and Title are given in the 1. p. copies of this volume. See Pis. I. & II. Copies of this work with the original frontispiece are excessively rare. Only one has (to the Authors' knowledge) heen in the market during the last 10 years, and only six such copies have come under their notice. Of these, two are in the British Museum, two are in Mr Phelps' library at Chestal, one is in the possession of Lord Moreton, and one of Mr F. A. Hyett. The finest copy known is one of the Chestal copies, which measures Vts x 5i inches. The two copies in the British Museum came respectively from the Grenville and the Banks libraries. The former was a presentation copy to Sr. Thomas Trevor, and has in it Dover's autograph. It is rather badly cut, and measures only 6| and 4^ inches. The Banks copy measures 61 x 5i inches. Mr Grosai't in the introduction to his Beprint (p. xix.) says that he knew of only three perfect copies besides his own; two of these were probably the British Museum copies. Of original editions wanting the wood cut frontispiece we have seen five. Two of these are at Chestal, one is in the Library of the Gloucester Literary and Scientific Association, one is in the Bodleian, and one is in the possession ofMrF. A. Hyett. There seem to have been at least two, if there were not more, issues of this edition, as many variations in spelling have been found in the copies examined. One of the Chestal copies wanting the frontispiece has several peculiarities, and on a leaf after the last poem is the following imprint— "Imprimatur Eobert Field. August 29., 1679." This copy has, however, several blank leaves bound up with it, and it is not quite certain that the imprint belongs to it. Perfect copies have fetched the following prices :— Saunders (1818) £13 2s 6d ; Bindley (1818) £12 12s, [See Davis's Seccmd Journey rownd the Library of a Bibliomaniac] ; £7 7s, [See Introduction to Tyvyau's Reprint] ; and it was priced in one of Thorpe's catalogues (1824) at £8 8s. The last copy in the market was sold for £.5 5s, a sum probably much below its value. The games in celebration of which these poems were written were instituted by Eobert Dover and were held on a hill still called Dover's hill, situate in the parish of Weston-sub-edge, and about a mile from Chipping Campden. The date of their establishment is not known, but it was probably at the very beginning of the seventeenth century. From this time, except during the Commonwealth, they appear to have been held annually till 1851, when the inclosure of the common on which they were held necessitated their discontinuance. For some years prior to this they had deteriorated in character and were a source of much disorder to the neighbourhood. Eobert Dover was born circa 1575 and died 1641. Mention of the Annalia Dubrensia and of Dovers Games will be found in the following works :— Wood's Athenena Oxo)wnienses (under Barksdale), 2nd col., 1721, voL il., pp. 812, and Bliss's Edition, 1813, vol. iv., p. 222.

Sewell, Esq., of the Beeches, Cirencester : "No. 1. (Frice Five Shillings) Etchings of Views and Antiquities in the County of Gloucester, hitherto imperfectly, or never engraved, containing 1. A Vignette View of Gloucester from Robinhood's Hill. 2. Iron-Acton Cross. 3. Portrait of King Henry IV. in the chancel window at Iron-Acton. 4.

The Etchings, of which this Work is intended to be composed, were begun by the Editor for his Amusement, and as a Eelaxation from the pursuit of a laborious Profession : Finding that they increased considerably under his Hands, and that he could make them with great Facility, a Desire of adding somewhat to the Topography of his native County has induced him to offer them to the Public in the present Form. A second part will be published on the 1st of August, and if the number of Copies sold should be sufficient to defray the Expenses of the Undertaking, he proposes to continue the Publication every three months, till it becomes sufficient to form a Volume, which, he flatters himself, will be thought no unacceptable Appendix to the Histories of Gloucestershire already published, and the Collections now publishing from the Papers of the late Garter King-at-Arms.* Herein he hopes to be able to comprise every remarkable Building or Piece of Antiquity within that County of which fio Engraving, or only an imperfect one, has been hitherto published. With regard to the Designs he has only to say, that he has endeavoured to render them as accurate as possible ; and has in no instance ventured to sacrifice Truth to Effect, his intention having been to give faithful Portraits of the Objects he wished to represent, and not picturesque views, imless he found them such. It should be remembered that the Plates are not the works of an Artist by Profession, and therefore not to be examined with too critical an eye. As there are many curious Eemains of Antiquity in the City of Bristol, hitherto wholly unpublished, and others which have been very inaccurately engraved, he proposes to insert Views of them in the present Collection ; for though that City constitutes a County of itself, and has therefore never been treated of in the Histories of Gloucestershire, yet the greater part of it being commonly considered as lying within that County, he has thought it sufficiently connected with his Plan to make a part of it. *,* The second number will contain, amongst other Views, those of Elkstone Church, the Inside of the Chancel, and the Doorway of that Church, Ciren- cester Cross, and Arlingham Church." The Vignette of Gloucester from Eobinswood Hill formed part of the title, and the other plates, numbered m this announcement [2 to 7], bore respec- tively the numbers I. -VI. Parts I. and II. were noticed in the Gentleman's Magazine for August, 1791, at pp. 748, 4 where the Eeviewer says "The Editor of this elegant work (we ' Ealph Bigland, Esq. 30 COUNTY — GENEEAL LITEEATUHB know not why) withholds his name at present from the publick ; but we understand it to be the production of Samuel Lysons, Esq., F.S.A." And Part VII. was mentioned at p. 832 of the September number of that Magazine for 1793. Part XII., which probably appeared in July, 1794, was accompanied by the following advertisement :— " The Editor of this Work proposes to complete it in twenty-one numbers, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth of which will be published in the course of a few months : and he hopes that the remainder will be published before the end of the year 1796. Several of the Plates already published will be etched afresh, and given in the remaining Numbers, the intended effect not having been produced in them. One of these, plate XXI.*, is included in the present number. The short Descriptions intended to accompany the Plates will be given all together at the end of the Work, it having been frequently found incon- venient to adapt them to each separate Number." The succeeding parts do not seem to have been advertised. This, together with the discoutinuance'of the letter-press,hasmade it impossible to ascertain either their number or composition, or the dates of their appearance. Their publication, however, lasted 7 years longer than their author anticipated. This no doubt arose from his increased dissatisfaction with his earlier work, which led to the cancellation of many more plates than he contemplated in 1794. Of the 64 plates which had then been issued, only U were ultimately deemed worthy of a place in the Antiquities. These were— VIII. South Door of Elkstone Church. XLIV. Door of South Cerney Church. LII. East End of Library of Gloucester Cathedral. LIII. Stone Stalls in Gloucester Cathedral. LV. North and South Views of the Priory of Deerhurst. LIX. Ozleworth and Cleeve Churches. LX. East View of Cirencester Church. LXI. Inside View of St. Catherine's Chapel in Cirencester Chyrch. LXII. Figures of Fonts. LXIII. Hayles Abbey. LXIV. Manor House at Iron Acton and St. Bartholomew's Hospital at Gloucester. Three plates published after 1794, viz., Nos. LXVI., LXVIIL, and LXXIV., were also subsequently cancelled. The total number of etchings published by Mr Lysons between 1791 and 1803 was 166, of which 56 were cancelled and 110 were included in the Antiquities. If all of the matter deleted during the production of the Antiquities were collected in one volume, its collation would be as follows :— Title to Part I. one leaf; Inscription to the Eight Honourable Henry, Earl Bathurst, one leaf; Descriptive letter-press to plates I.-LXIV., 11 leaves; Plates numbered I.-VII., IX.-XLIII., XLV.-LI, LIV., LVI.-LVIII., LXVL, LXVIII and LXXIV. The work sometimes advertised or catalogued as "Lyscms's Etchings" usually comprises some of the cancelled matter, together with some of the plates or letter-press of the Antiquities. These volumes differ widely as to their contents, and care should be taken before purchasing one, to see that it comprises most of the cancelled plates. Many of these latter, as well as plates from the Antiquities, are often to be met with singly. Some of the substituted plates may be distinguished from those which they replaced by an asterisk appended to their numher. But a more complete index to the identification of a cancelled plate is to be found in the position of its number, as all of the plates first issued (L-LXIV.) had the number placed immediately over the plate at the right hand corner, while all of the plates issued subsequently were numbered over the centre of the plate. As has been said, the last 6, and 6 earlier ones, of these 64 plates were retained in the Antiquities. Therefore every plate bearing a number between 1 and 68 at thje top right ' EXCLUSIVELY RELATING TO GLOUOESTEKSHIKE 31 hand corner, except Nos. 8, 44, 52, 53 & 55, is a cancelled plate. But besides these there are 3 cancelled plates, viz., 66, 68 & 74, which are numbered in the centre. The plate substituted for No. 68 has an asterisk added to its number. The other two can only be known from the new plates by their subjects. In order that the cancelled plates may be readily distinguished from those which were substituted for them, a list of both series has been given, side by side, in the collation of "A Collection of Gloucestershire Antiquities," 1803. q.v. 1791.

The Monumental Inscriptions and the Historical Notes are printed partly in long primer and partly in pica type. The former are in columns. The following errors in pagination occur :— The numbers 286, 287 are repeated on pages which should be numbered 288, 289. Hence vol. i. contains pp. 634. Pages 550, 551, 562, 565 and 566 are numbered respectively 350, 351, 352, 365 and 366. The leaf paged 375-6 is sometimes found in duplicate, as the leaf first issued bearing those numbers was directed to be cancelled, and a new one was substituted for it. At the head of page 375 of both issues is a view of the South Porch of Cleeve Church. The cancelled plate was drawn by S. Lysons and engraved by T. Bonnor. In it a man holding two keys in his right hand is seen disappearing into the church, and bright rays of light, apparently from a lantern in his left hand, are seen behind his head. The substituted plate bears the inscription " S. Lysons feet. Aqua forti 1720," and is in Lysons's early manner, resembling in style many of the plates Issued in his "Etchings," and afterwards cancelled. There is no figure in this plate. The letterpress on the two leaves is slightly different. Unless the figure and arrangement of light were considered inartistic, it is not clear why the former plate was directed to be cancelled, as it was engraved by Bonnor, and is more in character with the other plates in the work than the new one.

A copy [vol. i. complete and vol. ii. ending at Marshfleld] was sold at Messrs Sotheby's in 18S8 for £6 12s. 6d. This work, though of great archaeological value, does not fulfil the promise of its title. The historical notices of most of the parishes are meagre, and the genealogical portioii was reserved for a separate volume which was never published. It consists therefore principally of monumental inscrip- tions, which are printed in long and short lines, as if they were verbatim transcripts; but these inscriptions were not always copied by Bigland's own hand, and the persons employed by him sometimes abbreviated them. It should be remembered that Bigland's aim was to supplement and not to supplant the works of Atkyns and of Rudder. In the course of making his collections, which extended over a period of 30 years, he at one tune con- templated bringing out a revised and enlarged edition of Atkyns' Ancient and Present State of Glostershire, but the appearance of Herbert's edition of that work and of Eudder's New History of Gloucestershire obliged him to abandon this intention. He then determined to print his collections "as an Appendix to former Publications of the History of this County." Almost 'all of the information contained in the two volumes under notice was collected by Mr. Ralph Bigland, and he also wrote the preface, and prepared the earlier portions of the work for press, but no part of it was printed in his lifetime. He died in 1784, and his son Richard with the assistance of the Eev. James Dallaway continued the work, and they brought the obituary notices down to the date of publication of the first part. Vol. i. was issued in 22 parts. No complete series in original wrappers has been examined, but parts 6, 7, 8, 12, 13 and 15 of vol. i. and part 2 of vol. ii. have been seen in this state. Part 1, comprising Abbenhall— Alderton, appeared in 1786 [Gent. Mag., vol. Ivi., p. 1062], with a title page of that date. Part 5, the contents of which are not stated, but which included Berkeley, was noticed in the same Magazine in 1788 [vol. Iviii., p. 344] where the Reviewer says "We are glad that this splendid work meets with the encouragement which it so well deserves." The contents of the other parts seen were as follows: Part 6, Beverstone— Bisley; Part 7, Bitten— Bourton-on-the-Water; Part 8, Boxwell — BuUey, Part 12, Cirencester— Cleeve ; ^art 13, Clifford Chambers— Coin St Dennis ; and Part 15, Daglingworth— Deerhurst. Hence part 14 must have comprised Coin Roger's— Cromhall. Part 20, comprising Fairford— Frampton Cotterel was out by April 1791 [Gent. Mag., vol. Ixi., p. 345] ; Part 7 comprised Lechlade, Leckhampton, The Leigh, Lemington, and Lydney [Gent. Mag., June 1798] ; and Part 9 (the last part issued by Mr. Richard Bigland) com- prised Moretou Henmarsh, Moreton Valence, Naunton and Newent, [Gent. Mag., Feb. 179.5]. Further progress of the work was arrested by Mr. Richard Bigland's death and it was not re-commenced for many years. Hence the 21st part must have comprised Frampton-upon-Severn— Guiting Temple. The 22nd part comprised the Title-page to vol. i., the Quotation from Warton, the 3 plates of Arms, the Indices, Directions for placing the plates, and the sub- stituted leaf with the view of the S. Porch of Bishops' Cleeve Church. This part was probably supplied to subscribers gratuitously. The other 21 parts were issued at 3s. each. Parti, of vol. ii. must have comprised Hampnett— Harescombe, as part ii. contained Haresfleld— Hatherop. The title page of this volume may have been issued with its first part, as it is dated 1791, the year in which that part probably appeared. Certain errors in the work are pointed out in a letter signed "D.H." in the Oentlemam's Magazine [vol. Ixi., pp. 725-7] ; and from a letter signed "Glevensis" in the same Magazine [vol. Ixiii., p. 687] it would appear that the work had been elsewhere unfavourably reviewed. The unpublished MSS., consisting almost exclusively of Monumental Notes, passed into the hands of Messrs. Nichols of Parliament St., "Westminster. An attempt was made by them to continue, by subscription, the publication EXCLDSrVELY RELATING TO GLOUOESTEKSHIEE 36 of the work, under the editorship of the Eev. T. D. Foshrooke, but without success. Bigland's notes on the City of Gloucester were, however, pubhshed in a condensed form by Fosbrooke in his " Original History of the City of Gloucester," 1819, and most of the illustrations in that work are from plates which had been engraved for Bigland's History. Messrs Nichols' attempt to obtain subscriptions for the continuation of Big- land's work seems to have been made about 1802-4, for on the wrapper of the Supplement to the Qent. Mag. for 1802 appeared the following advertisement "Biglands' Collections for Gloucestershire. Vol. I complete. Price Three Guineas in Boards. Or any single Number of Vol. H at 2s. 6d. each Number. This "Work will be continued with all Convenient Speed, and due Notice given of the Mode in which the Remainder is intended to be published " This advertisement was repeated in the same magazine in 1803 and 1804, but in November of the latter year the price of parts of vol. ii. was advanced to their original cost of 3s. each. Nichols sold the Bigland MSS. to Sir Thomas Phillipps, who in or about the year- 1838 caused to be privately printed at the Middle-hill press some 60 copies of the collections relating to 18 parishes from Newington Bagpath to Pauntley. This part consisted of 32 leaves, folio, paged 253-316, and it was issued in boards without any title, lettering on cover, or list of parishes. The first leaf is signed Ttt. No other signatures occur. The catch word at the end of p. 316 is " CLXXXZVIIII Pebworth." The parishes it comprised, the number prefixed and the pages allotted to each parish are as follows : [Bigland Continuations. First Issue, CLXXXI. CLXXsn. CLXxxin. CLXXXIV. CLXXXV. CLXSXVI.

It was reprinted in 1886. After this issue Sir Thomas Philhpps discontinued the work for a long period. He resumed it in 1870, when he commenced what has been called the second issue of the Bigland Continuations. Of this issue only two parts were printed at his death, which occurred in Feb., 1872. In these parts Bigland's historical notes were largely augmented by the labours of Sir Thomas and several of his friends. Only a few copies of pts. 1 & 2 were printed. Pt. 2 ended with the parish of Eendcomb. By his wUl Sir Thomas entreated Mr. S. H. Gael, one of his executors, to continue the superintendence of the printing of the remaining parishes. Mr. Gael undertook the task, and in 1873 he issued a pamphlet, giving an account of the progress of the work up to that date, and inviting 36 COUNTY— GENBRAI, LITEEATOBE subscriptions for its continuance. It is from this pamphlet that much of the ahove information has been obtained. Seven additional parts of the second issue were printed between 1873 and 1889, under the superintendence of Mr. Gael, and after his death in 1887 under that of Mr. T. Fitz-Boy Fenwick, to whom the whole of Sir Thomas PhiUipps' valuable library had been bequeathed. Part 9 ended with the parish of Tate, and one more part which has not yet [1894] appeared, will conclude the work. The following is a summary of the contents,- dates of appearance etc. of the several parts of the three issues of the Continuations. A full collation of the Second and Third Issues is given later.

The whole of pt. 1, a portion of pt. 2 and a few pages in the middle of pt. 3 were paged, but pts. 4-9 were unpaged. The Parishes from the first in vol. i. (I. Abbenhall) to the last in the first issue of the Continuations (CLXXXVIII. Pauntley) were all consecutively and correctly numbered in Eoman numerals only ; but in the second issue they are numbered in both Roman and Arabic numerals, and the errors in numeration are frequent and remarkable. Numbers are omitted and repeated, first in one series and then in the other, and the two numbers prefixed to a parish rarely correspond. It is impossible to trace any system or method in either series. In the earlier parts of this issue errors of other kinds abound. Indeed the combined carelessness of Editor and Printer has made some of these parts curiosities in literature. [Bigland Continuations.

On a slip inserted at the beginning of this part " Subscribers are informed that it is intended to issue later on a part containing the omitted parishes of St. Jacob & Philips, and St. George's Bristol, as well as an Index to the whole of the Continuation." As only a few copies of the first issue of the Continuations, and of pts. i. & ii. of the second issue were printed by Sir Thomas Phillipps, they soon became scarce, and in order to enable subscribers to the succeeding parts to com- plete their series, Mr. Fitz Eoy Fenwick issued the following reprints. Part I. was entitled, Biglands Gloucestershire Collections. Newington Bagpath to Pauntley. Sixty-five Copies privately printed for T. Pitz Koy Fenwick, M.A. Demy fol. P.A.H. Title on wrapper and 32 leaves paged 253-316. The first leaf is signed Ttt. No other signatures occur. This part is an accurate reprint of the first issue. It was printed in 1885. Price £1 Is. Parts II. & III. were issued together in the same wrapper, entitled Bigland's Gloucestershire Collections. Part II. Pebworth to Eendcomhe. Part III. Saul. Seisencote Sevenhampton. Shurdington. Siddington. Snowshill. Stanley Pontlarge. Stanton. Stanway. Whittington. Willersley. Sixty-five copies privately reprinted for T. Pitz Roy Fenwick, M.A. Demy fol. P.A.H. Title on wrapper. Text 32 leaves. Pagination irregular, commencing with p. 317 and ending with p. 773. There are no signatures. These parts were printed in 1887. The subscription price of Part II. was 12s. 6d., and that of Part III. was IBs. Part n. comprises all the parishes in Sir T. Phillipps' Part 2 of the second issue (1871), including the new edition of the parishes of Quedgley and Quelnton. Part III. comprises all the parishes in Part 1 of the second issue (1870) except Saintbury and the cancelled accounts of Quedgley, Queinton and Snowshill. It also contains Saul, Seisencote and Siddington from Part 3 (1873) and Stanley Pontlarge and Stanway and the new edition of Snows- hill from Part i (1877), and the addendum to Willersey from Part 8 (1885). No reason is assigned for this selection and re-arrangement of parishes.

Mr. Fenwick's reprints are a great improvement on the originals both as regards the quality of the paper on which they are printed, and freedom from typographical errors. The Continuations contained no illustrations, except the woodcuts in Pt. 1, but 78 plates had been engraved before the death of Mr. Eichard Biglaud for illustrating the portion of his work which he did not live to complete. A few proofs of these were struck off on folio paper, and distributed with impressions of the plates which appeared in vols. i. & ii. Volumes contain- ing the whole series of published and .unpublished plates are occasionally to be met with, but they are very rare, and fetch from 6 to 10 guineas. In two of the copies which have been seen, there is one engraving on each page, but in most copies the smaller engravings are printed two on a page. Twenty-nine of these plates were afterwards employed by Fosbrooke to illustrate his "Original History of the City of Gloucester," 1819, but he added the lettering to some, and altered it on others. What became of the original copper plates is not known. Nichols, in whose possession they must have been in 1819 when he allowed Fosbrooke the use of them, did not hand them over to Sir T. Phillipps with the un- published MSS. The last evidence of their existence is the appearance of the Berkeley Castle plate, as frontispiece to Fosbrooke's Berkeley Manu- scripts, published in 1821. 42 COUNTY— GENEEAL LITEEATDEE The following is a list of the unpublished plates, which are merely numbered for reference. The numbers in brackets after plates 1-29 are the pages where they will respectively be found in the folio edition of Fosbroolte's History. PL 30 must have been intended for vol. ii. of Bigland's History, but was never used. PI. 31 is a view of " Our Lady's Well " taken from the opposite side to that in the plate in Bigland, vol. ii. p. 65.

Dr. and etched by J. 0. Buckler. Pub. Jan. 1st. 1816 " ; and the " South Porch of Gloucester Cathedral. 1798 G. Bawl direxit," but the dates of these show that they could not have been prepared for Bigland's History. The latter will be found in a different state in Bonnor's Itirwrary, p. 30, where it is stated to have been dr. and eng. by T. Bonnor and pub. Dec. 1st, 1806. Some monuments in Tewkesbury Abbey, engraved by S. Wale in 1715, are also generally found with the above plates. The plates of the churches, are witli a few exceptions, of much the same size, the engraved portions of them measuring from 6i to 6| inches in length and from 4J to 4i inche.s in depth. Some of the plates used in the early part of the work have been met with in two states. Mr. H. W. Bruton has in his possession some of these which differ from the published plates in the following particulars.

[1792.] Proposals for publishing by subscription a Collection of Coats of Arms, Borne by the Nobility and Gentry of the County of Glocester. Taken from Atkins, Rudder and other Documents, s. sh. 4to. B.M. It is stated that vol. i. is to be delivered Aug. 10, 1792. Price of Work £1 Is. This was the proposal for printing the following work. A Collection of Coats of Arms Borne by the Nobility and Gentry of the County of Glocester [Vignette] London, Printed and Sold by J. Good, 159, New Bond St. mdccxch. 4to. F.A.H. Title, one leaf; Introduction, pp. 1-34 ; List of Arms, borne quarterly per pale, and on an Escutcheon of Pretence ; collected from Eudder's History of Gloces- tershire, pp. 3549; Coats of Arms (370), eng. by Ames of Bristol, 62 leaves, EXCLUSIVELY RELATING TO GLOUCESTERSHIRE 45 printed and paged on one side only. List of Subscribers, 3 leaves (paged 3-7). The Introduction is printed in Great Primer, extra wide leaded. At the head of the Introduction are engravings of two seals of the City of Glocester. The Arms are given in two series, arranged in each alphabetically, the first commencing with the arms of Abenhall of Abenhall on p. 1, and ending with those of Yate of Arliugham on p. 53 ; the second commencing with the arms of Abercherder on p. 64 and ending with those of Cassey of Deerhur.st on p. 62. There are six coats of Arms on every page except p. 53, on which there are four. On a slip inserted before the Introduction it is announced that " The Second Volume will be published as soon as possible." This volume was never issued. The work was compiled by Sir George Naylor, who became, in 1821, Garter Principal King of Arms. The 49 pages of letterpress are some- times wanting. 1792.

[Substituted for can- celled PI. XXX.] All of the above plates were etched by Samuel Lysons. Plate CX. is some- times placed as the Frontispiece. In a few copies (among others in that from the Banks Library in the British Museum) a fine mezzo-tint engraving by S. W. Reynolds of a portrait of Lysons by Sir Thomas Laurence has been added as Frontispiece. This portrait is more pften found in large paper copies of the 1804 edition, and it has been suggested that it was added by the author to presentation copies [GHaucestershire Notes d: Queries, vol. ill., p. 558]. 54 COUNTY — GENERAL LITEKATUKE The cancelled plates vary considerably in style and in excellence. Some closely resemble sepia drawings [e.g. pis. 34, 35 & 46] ; others are little more than outlines, so faint that they might be taken for pencil sketches [e.g. pis. 24, 28 & 41] ; while others are darkly shaded in bold thick lines, like chalk di-awings [e.g. pis. 26, 29 & 49] and the chiaro-oscuro of one [pi. 54] recalls some of the works of Piranese. The plates in the Antiquities on the other hand, are more uniform in style, more highly finished, and of more equal merit. In these Lysons's manner somewhat approximates that of Bonnor, whom he seems to have imitated, but he never approaches Bonnor in delicacy of execution, though he always exceeds him in boldness. From an architectural point of view these plates are perhaps more valuable, but many of them have less character than the plates which they superseded. Why Lysons cancelled plate 14, [Cirencester Church], it is difficult to say, as it is artistically one of his finest productions. This work was issued at £6 6s., but it has not maintained its price. This may arise from the fact that copies are rarely to be met with that are not badly foxed. The following prices have been realized at public sales in London:— £2 10s.

The work is printed in Old Style English type, leaded. It is on thin paper, and is an indifferent specimen of typography. Besides the plates mentioned in the Directions to the Binder are two with two subjects on each : viz. (1) " The Body of Q. Cath. Parr " and " From the Oddington Barrow " and (2) "Windows in Haresfield and Cheltenham Churches. T. D. F. sculp." At the end of the Directions it is stated that "The ancient Seats from Sir Bob. Atkins and the View of Horsley Jail are to be deleted." The plates referred to are four in number, and comprise (1) Berkeley Church and Castle, and New Jail at Horsley ; (2) " Alderley late Mrs Hale," and " Knole late Thos. Chester Esq.; (3) " Alveston late Edward Hill Esq." and "Over late John DowellEsq." and (4), Alveston, Battesford, Shurdington and Barrington. All of the views on pi. (4) are in out-line. Copies with the deleted plates and the appendix are scarce. The work was issued in 10 parts comprising fifteen numbers. Nos. 56 COUNTy— aKNEEAL LITEKATOBB 1-5 were issued separately. Ft. 6 comprised Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 9; Pts. 7 and 8 comprised Nos. 10, 11, 12 and 18 ; and Nos. 14 and 15 were issued separately as pts. 9 and 10 respectively. The title on the wrapper of Part I. was as follows ; "Number I. The History of Gloucestershire. By Walter Honeywood Yate, Esq. of Bromsberrow-Place, Member of the Eoyal Institution, &c. and Thomas Dudley Fo.sbrooke, F.S.A. Purchasers of this Number must h^ con- sidered as Subscribers to the Whole Work— Vide Proposals. Printed at the Herald Office, Glocester." In a slip inserted in this number it is stated that " Mr. Yate (who is of a friendly and affectionate temper) does me the honour, from pure disinterested motives, of undertaking the biographical department, some particulars of which will, it is hoped, consist of matter which has not been edited. He will also contribute such incidental and genealogical matter as he may be able by private and other sources to procure." As Mr Yate's name disappears from the title of the completed work, and no mention is made of him in the preface, it may be inferred that his share in it was not large. The Work is however dedicated to him "as a testimony of his friendship and services." On a slip inserted in Number 9 it is stated that in order to terminate the work in 6 numbers more, the type in long parishes has been abbreviated and 3 sheets added. Mr Fosbrooke in this note com- plains bitterly that he has been denied access to the EoUs Chapel except on payment of fees, so high as to be prohibitive, and he attributes any imperfections in his work to such refusal. In an Advertisement it was stated that the Appendix would comprise 6 numbers ; and a note on a slip, dated Aug. 11, 1809, commences "Mr Fosbrooke having concluded the last number of his Appendix cannot dismiss this Work " etc. None the less it is believed that the whole appendix issued comprised only one part, consisting of 32 pages and a reprint of the list of Subscribers which accompanied Number 15 of the Work, as " The End " is printed after the letterpress on p. 32. The following note appeared on a slip inserted in Number 15 (the 10th and last supplied to the Subscribers) : "Mr Fosbrooke, having concluded the last Number of his Appendix, cannot dismiss this Work without making due acknowledgements to the Sub- scribers. He did, however, entertain a hope, that from having compiled a work de novo, in the most difficult walk of literature, and encountered the slander incident to such publications, that he should have obtained a permanent recompense, which he had endeavoured to deserve. He is sorry, however, to state, that whatever obligations he may feel to particular Gentlemen of the first respectability and station, upon his proposal of an application to the Chancellor, for a Living, he has not yet obtained the adequate support. He therefore respectfully requests that such Gentlemen as may be disposed to encourage such a proposal, will honour Mr. F. with their permission to use their names, for forwarding to the proper sources. Horsley, July 11, 1809. ^g- In the last Suppl. of the Monthly Magazine is a Review, in which the merits of the work are exhibited." Some L. P. copies were issued. The 3 copies sold at the Niblett sale, realized respectively £6 15s., *5 5s., and £i 12s. Between 1887 and 1893 copies have been sold at public auctions at prices ranging between £1 ISs. and £6 6s. L. P. copies, especially if they have the Appendix and deleted plates, are seldom to be had for less than 5 guineas, i The author of this history was born in 1770 and died in 1842. He was curate of Horsley, Gloucestershire, from 1792—1810. He then went to Walford, Herefordshire, of which he was Curate until 1830, and Vicar from 1830 till his death. He was also author of the History of the City of Gloucester, 1819, 4to and fol. ; Abstracts of Smyth's Lives of the Berkeleys, 1821, 4to ; A Pictur- esque Account of Cheltenham, 1826, 8vo; and other topographical and archasological works. He was an antiquary of some eminence. Between 1807 and 18) 9 he changed the spelling of his name from Fosbrooke to Fosbroke. Besides the works on which his name appears, he is said to have been the Author of "Poetical Essays by a Young Gentleman of the University. Oxford : 1786," 8vo, pp. 44, and also of a Periodical, now very rare, entitled "The Cosmopolitan. A Miscellany. By Gentlemen of the University of Oxford. London." Four numbers of the latter appeared on April 15 and SO, and May 15 and 30, 1788 respectively, which were sold at 3d. each, and comprised together 78 pages. Probably no more were issued.

It also contained the following announcement and Directions to the Binder. • The Editor to the Subscribers In consequence of the great increase of matter this Part of the "Work con tains, (comprising more than double the quantity of letter press than both the preceding portions taken together, and equalling in size,) the Editor has been reluctantly obliged to advance the price. He begs to state as a reason for this advance, that he did not feel himself warranted in giving the "Work in a less perfect state; or in withholding from his Friends and the Public any information that he had in his power to lay before them upon so interesting a period of the History of Gloucester- shire : and that, when he commenced the publication, he had no reason to anticipate that he should have been enabled to bring together such a mass of information so various and important, as he trusts will be found in this volume. The Editor Gloucester May 7. 1^6. Directions to the Binder.
