The Committee of the Institution very courteously placed at my disposal all the minute-books and other papers for the purposes of the present volume, and 1 am very pleased to take#this opportunity of expressing my thanks for their kindness. To Mr. David Showell's collection of Newspaper Cuttings relating to Greenwich, Deptford, and the neighbourhood, in the British Museum ; to Larkin's edition of Hasted's History of Kent (Hundred of Blackheath), 1886; and to the Local Press, especially the Kentish Mercury, which has so ably lent its support to the Institution on all occasions, I am indebted for much valuable information. My best thanks are due to the Honorary Secretary. Major-General Roberts, for some valuable papers and suggestions; to Mr. E. Arundel Carttar, Coroner for the south-eastern division of the County of London, many members of whose family have undertaken important offices for carrying on the beneficent work of the Institution ; and to other friends and subscribers to this volume who have so freely given their advice and help. I have also to thank the Printer and Publisher, Mr. Henry Richardson, for the able manner in which he has carried out all my wishes ; and lastly, my valued friend and brother-in-law, James S. Craigie, M.D., B.Sc, who has kindly assisted me in revising the proof sheets. J. P. 4, St. Thomas's Street, London Bridge, S.E., December, 1893.
