PREFACE.

On the completion of the second volume of Devon Notes & Queries, we have to express our thanks to the many contributors who have assisted us during the two years over which its publication has extended.

The contents are varied, and much information, in connection with many matters relating to our county, has been collected and preserved in our pages.

The supplementary parts, containing Mr. Crossing's Crosses of the Moor, which has been completed, and the Morebath Churchwardens' Accounts, edited by the Rev. J. Erskine Binney, which are still in course of printing, have been much appreciated, appealing of course to different interests.

The success of the Magazine justifies our belief that such a publication was a want, and we have done our best, with the assistance of our publisher, to produce a satisfactory medium of communication between the many lovers of the history, literature and antiquities of Devon.

We again ask for contributions, that the new volume commencing in January next may be worthy of its predecessors. Notes of historical events and documents, on places, things and persons will be welcome, and photo- graphs of objects of archaeological value will be gladly received.

P. F. S. Ambry, John S. Ambry, J. Brooking Rowb, 30th Sept^ 1903 Editors.
