D'(Bijtirniiit BAYONS MANOE, THESE PAGES ARE RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED, BY HIS OBLIGED AND VERY OBEDIENT SERVANT, THK AUTHOIi. 94SG30 PREFACE. In introducing this work to the pubUc, the author fears it will appear presumptuous, as several of the same character are ah'eady in existence which claim attention from their superior merit ; still he indulges a hope that the present may not prove altogether uninter- esting, when it is found to contain a list of Brasses considerably greater in number than any of its predecessors. Learning from the reports of the various Architectural Societies that these interesting memorials were rapidly decreasing in number, it occured to him that a more extended list might be acceptable. It has been carefully collected from the following works : — Cotman's Norfolk and Suffolk Brasses, BoutelVs Monumental Brasses of England, The Oxford Manual, Manning's List, The Cambridge Camden Society's and Messrs. Waller's Brasses, Hudson's Sepulchral Brasses of North- amptonshire, Stothard's Effigies, Gough's and Hartshorne's Sepul- chral Monuments, Hollis's Monumental Effigies, The GentlemarCs Magazine, Notes and Queries, The Archceological and the various Architectural Societies' Reports, and the following Topographical works — Nicholls' Leicestershire, Lyson's Magna Britannia, Blore's Rutland, Bridge's and Baker's Northamptonshire, Allen's Lincoln- shire, Lipscomb's Bucks, Branders Parish Churches, Fisher's Bedfordshire Collections, ClutterhucK s Herts, Registrum Rofense, Moale's English Counties, Thoroton's Notts, Hoare's Wilts, Foul- son's Holderness, Whittaker's Richmondshire, &c., &c. &c. To the following gentlemen the author's best thanks are due, for the valuable PREFACE. assistance they have rendered in the way of suggestions and by the loan of hooks — Rev. H. J.
