Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abstracts of Gloucestershire Inquisitiones Post Mortem, Vol. 1: Returned Into the Court of Chancery in the Reign of King Charles the First Wards and Liveries series. The existence of these three sets of tran scripts is a fortunate circumstance, as sometimes they enable us to make good the deficiencies in the Chancery series. The abstracts in the present volume are taken from the Chancery Series, supplemented when needed by reference to the transcripts. They have been prepared by Miss Emma M. Walford, a lady already well known for the careful manner in which she abstracted the Lancashire Inquisitions for another society. It may be well also to add here that the abstracts of the London Inquisitions now in progress have also been made by Miss Walford. The original Inquisitions are in Latin, and the advantage of these readable English abstracts will be generally. Appreciated. The reader will observe that some few of the Inquisitions in the present volume were taken in the reign of James I, but they are here included as they were not returned into court until the succeeding reign. The Inquisitions for Gloucestershire for the reign of Charles I. Number about 318. As we have already noted the present part contains those for the first eleven years of the reign, while Part II. Will include the remainder, with indexes of names and places. The Inquisitions of earlier reigns it is hoped will also be printed in due course.
