note: A. All Historical and Record Societies continually, and Archaeological Societies from time to time, published documents. These had a double value : (i) to the local antiquaries, historians, topographers and genealogists who formed the Society (English)

note: (2) for general archaeological, historical and biographical purposes, in combination with similar material relating to other areas.

note: He would, of course, begin with the publica- tions of H.M.

(English)

note: Beyond these he had to rely on chance references and reviews, and the incomplete though very valuable card index at the Record Office.
