    PREFACE. In printing the following particulars, arranged from time to time during the course of my operations, I have been actuated by a belief that the study of Antiquities is rapidly on the increase, and becoming every day more general among all classes ; my own experience, too, teaches me to appreciate the avidity with which details connected with by-gone ages are now received, especially when authenticated by the testimony of credible witnesses, as is the case in the present instance. Audley End, February 12th, 1847.
