FACSIMILES OF ANCIENT CHAETEES IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Part III. PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. SOLD AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM; AND BY LONGMANS & CO., 38 to 41 PATERNOSTER ROW; B. M. PICKERING, 196 PICCADILLY; B. QUARITCH, 15 PICCADILLY; AND ASHER & CO., 13 BEDFORD STREET, COVENT GARDEN, and 11 UNTER DEN LINDEN, BERLIN. 1877 . The present Part carries on the series of Facsimiles through the tenth century, and comprises thirty-nine documents. The greater number of these are from the Cotton Collection; five are from the Harleian and as many from the A.dditional Collections of Charters. Of the Additional Charters, No. 19,516 — a grant to the church of Exeter, dated a.d. 670, in error for 938— came to the Museum in the year 1872 by donation from Sir Walter C. Trevelyan, Bart. ; the others are from the great collection of English Charters formed by Christopher, first Baron Hatton, in the latter part of the seventeenth century, and acquired by the Museum in the year 1873. The documents are waifs and strays from monastic archives in many different directions. It is not always easy to trace them to their sources. But sometimes the church or monastery is named in the deed ; in other instances, where the grant has been to a lay person, the subsequent conveyance of the property can be traced to a particular religious house, which thus became possessed of the original document; and sometimes the archives can be identified by the endorsements. Grouping the documents, as far as possible, under the churches and monastic houses to which they can by these means be referred, we obtain the following result : — From the archiTes of Christ Church, Canterbury : Augustus n. 65.

Augustus II. 63. a.d. 944. From Wenlock: Cotton Charter VIII. 27. a.d. 901. There is not the decided diversity of writing which might be looked for from the variety of places from which the Charters emanate; but the general change in character from the earlier period is very apparent. The light and elegant forms of the letters, often gracefully ornamented, of the eighth and ninth centuries, are now only partially represented, as under the years 931 and 934; and a rounder and more set, more uniform and even form of writing succeeds. The course of developement will be more easily traced when the series of Facsimiles to the date of the Conquest is complete. The value of the autotype printing process, by which the Facsimiles are produced, especially in its power of rendering gradations in tone of colour, is shewn in the Charter Augustus II. 39, a.d. 961, in which the dating clause and the names of witnesses are added by a second hand ; and in Augustus II. 62, A.D. 940, in which the names of the last six witnesses are also subsequently entered. Again, in the charter of King iEthelred to the monastery of Abingdon, Augustus II. 38, A.D. 993, the principal names of places appear, as in the original, as insertions m a darker-coloured ink. In this latter document it will be observed that, although a large number of names of witnesses .are subscribed, only a few of them have the cross prefixed. Moreover, among the witnesses are two Abbats of Westminster : the one named Wulfsige, who has no cross ; the other iElfwig, whose name is the last in the hst, and added by a different hand — perhaps his own — with cross prefixed. JElfwig was the immediate successor to Wulfsige, who therefore, it may be presumed, died shortly before the execution of this charter. The charters in the present Part appear to be original or contemporary copies, with a few exceptions. In the grant to Exeter, Additional 19,516, which has the impossible date a.d. 670, for what ought to be A.D. 938, the character of hand and use of contractions betray a later and unskilful penman. Two other Exeter charters, not in the Museum Collection, bearing the same incorrect date, and partly on that account rejected as genuine documents by Hickes, in his “ Dissertatio Epistolaris,” are accepted by Kemble, who attributes the error to an ignorant copyist, and refers to the original of one of them, having the correct date, as preserved in the archives of Christ Church, Canterbury. The present charter is certainly a later copy. Cotton Charter VIII. 17, a.d. 938, which comes from the Winchester archives, has a peculiar writing, irregular in the forms of letters, and generally imitative in character. Cotton MS. Augustus II. 33, a.d. 956, an Abingdon charter, has the general character and some forms of letters belonging rather to the eleventh century. * Harley 43 C. 4, from St. Edmund’s, contains copies of two wills, in which the monastery is only one of many religious houses and lay persons interested. The handwriting may be referred to the eleventh centurv. Cotton Charter VIII. 38, a.d. 995, the Will of Wynflasd, is probably a later copy. Included among the documents from Canterbury is the charter of King Eadred (Cotton MS. Augustus II. 57, A.D. 949) conveying to Christ Church the monastery of Keculver, with the attesta- tion of Dunstan, then Abbat of Glastonbury and one of the King’s Councillors, and the statement that he composed the charter and wrote it “propriis digitorum articulis.” The writing has the general character of the time; but the slovenliness of the penmanship and the nature of the errors in the text are evidence of its being a copy by an inferior hand. A better written duplicate without these errors is still preserved at Canterbury in the Cathedral archives, and seems to be the original from which Augustus II. 57 was copied; for the misreading “ defuictoq*”, at the end of the sixth line, is found to arise from the words “ de quo ” with the gloss “ s[cilicet] uictu ” written over them, in the Canterbury document.
