EDITOR'S PREFACE.

Owing to various circumstances the issue of the present Volume of Transactions has been unavoidably delayed, much to the regret of the Editorial Committee. The death of the late accomplished Editor, Dr. Cecil Moore, deprived the Club of the services of one whose long experience and extensive acquaintance with the subjects which engage the interests of its members made him a difficult man to follow, and some time elapsed before arrangements could be made to take up his work.

A great quantity of matter, manuscript and printed, had accumulated in Dr. Moore's hands, and at his death was deposited in the Woolhope Library. To sift and prepare for the press what Dr. Moore had intended for publication has been necessarily a work of time, but it is hoped that the Volume now in the hands of members will justify the delay in publication, and prove not altogether unworthy of its predecessors. Owing to the size of the present Volume several interesting papers are held over to the next Volume.

For the carefully prepared Index to the Volume the Club is indebted to Mr. Sledmere.
