REMAINS, HISTORICAL AND LITERARY - PREFACE. - THE CHETHAM SOCIETY, established in March 1843 for the publication of Historical and Literary Remains connected with the Palatine Counties of Lancaster and Chester, and issuing to its members three volumes annually, has now reached its sixtieth volume. For some years the growing extent of this series... more » of Publications has pressed upon the Council of the SOCIETYth e necessity of some arrangement whereby its large stores of valuable but miscellaneous information could be rendered more perfectly available to the Historian or Archsologist. A similar feeling has lately led to the issue of an Analytical and Descriptive Catalogue of the publications of a kindred Society the CAMDENp r, e pared by Mr. J. G. Nichols, which affords a distinct view of the character of each work and gives a general idea of its contents and so far serves the ofice of a guide. But it has all along been felt by the Council of the CHETHAMSO CIETYth at a mere descriptive Catalogue, however well executed, would after all prove comparatively useless and that,, with a large and varied collection of works such as we are now considering, what is really wanted is the power of ascertaining at a glance whether the special subject on which the student desires information is mentioned in the volumes, and if so where the passage or passages containing it may be found, and that this want could only be adequately supplied by a comprehensive and well-considered General Index and it was in con pliance with their request conveyed through the PRESIDEN to T p repare such an Index, that the Compiler of the present volume undertook, more than two years ago, that first instalment of his task, the result of which is now in the readers hands. The first thirty volumes of the CHETHA S I O CIETYS Publications present the issue for the first ten years of its existence, and include the following works Vol. I. Breretons Travels. 11. Civil War Tracts of Lancashire. 111. Cl esters Triumph. IV. Life of Adam Martindale. V. llemorials of the Rebellion of 1715. VI. Pottss Discoverie of Wztches. VII. Iter Lancastrense. TTIII, XIX, XXI, XXII. Gastrells Notitia Cestriensis, 4 vols. IX. The Norris Papers. X, XI, XVI, XX. Coucher Book of Whalley Abbey, 4 vols. XII. The Moore Rental. For the full-length Titles see the List of Publications given in the Prospectus prefixcd to this volume. XIII. Diary and Correspondence of Dr. John Mrorthington. Vol. I. XIV. Journal of Nicholas Assheton. XV. Lyfe of Saynt Werburge. XVII. Warrington in 1465. XVIII. Diary of Rev. Henry Newcome. XXIII. Robiruons Golden Mirrour. XXIV. Chetham Miscellanies. Vol. I. XXV. Cardinal Allens Defence of the Surrender of Deuenter. XXVI, XXVII. Autobiography of Henry ewcome, 2 vols. XXVIII. Jacobite Trials at Manchester. XXIX. The Stanley Papers. Part I. XXX. Documents relating to the Priory of Penwortham. Separate Indexes to volumes 111, VI, VII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, distinguished in the above list by being printed in italics, and which are the only works that were left unsupplied at the time of publication, have been printed and are. appended to the present volume, from which they can be de tached at pleasure for insertion in their respective places. A few words upon the plan on which the General Index is compiled may facilitate its use. At first an attempt was made to supersede altogether the special Indexes by embodying in it the whole of the information they contain, including every paginal reference. This attempt, however, was soon relinqnislied as alike misleading and unmanageable...
