"Having had occasion to search these Transcripts at various times, the Editor was struck with their value as legal documents, and also with the fact of their gradual decay through want of care and damp, and that in a few years these valuable Registers will be entirely lost unless rescued from the doom apparently pronounced upon them.

"He therefore appeals to those who wish their County Records to be preserved to assist in saving this valuable collection. He proposes to copy all the missing Registers as far as practicable, to obtain an official certificate of their correctness so as to make them legal evidence, and to print them in one or, if necessary, two volumes with an index."

Intending subscribers should communicate with the Editor, care of Mr. William Pollard, 40, North Street, Exeter.

THE Rev. W. E. Layton, Ipswich, is preparing for publication "Extracts from the Gentleman's Magazine, relating to Suffolk." The edition will be limited to 150 copies, which will doubtlessly be speedily subscribed for. As the Gentleman's Magazine is a mine of wealth to the antiquary and archæologist at large, so for those interested in strictly local matters, there is ample information to repay a careful search. It has been the object of the Editor to extract from the pages of the Gentleman's Magazine any reference to people, places, &c., connected with Suffolk.

FROM the Transactions of the Royal Historical Society. New Series, Vol. II., Part IV., 1885.

Whilst several local magazines of antiquarian and historical value are discontinued from want of adequate support, we are glad to see that the Western Antiquary still maintains its ground. It is obvious that such publications are very much needed and are calculated to be extremely useful, because our old friend the London Notes and Queries, even backed by such periodicals as the Antiquary and the Antiquarian and Bibliographer, cannot afford room for the increasing number of communications, both long and short, which local scholars are ever ready to bring to light. The present number of the Western Antiquary (Part VI., Fourth Series), besides various articles of interest, reviews, genealogical notes, &c., contains particulars of the London and Suburban Residences of Sir Walter Raleigh, notes on the family of Ley, Devonshire Local rhymes and proverbs, and other similar topics. The illustrations are views and details of Talland Church, Cornwall, and the escutcheon of James Ley, who, after being made a peer of the realm under the title of Baron Ley, of Ley, in the county of Devon, by James I., was advanced by Charles I, to the dignity of Earl of Marlborough, in the county of Wilts.

We have pleasure in drawing attention to the following notice of a forthcoming Bibliography of Staffordshire :This work, now in process of compilation, is intended to give an account of Books, Tracts, or other printed

matter, printed or published in, written by a native or resident in, or relating to the County, with a collation of the contents of books, and biographical notices of Printers, Authors, Editors, &c. Also the same as regards any MS. collection similarly connected.

The need of a work such as the one contemplated has long been felt, and more especially is it so in this age, inasmuch as the enquiries relating to County History are increasing in number day by day. Large numbers of the gentry and clergy are now directing their attention to these subjects, and their time and opportunity being narrowed by their many engagements, such a work as the one contemplated will be of great help and will effect an immense saving of time.

The contents will comprise the following:— I.—As complete a catalogue as practicable of the (a) publications of the County of Stafford.

(b) of the writings of natives or residents, whether MS. or printed.

(c) of all books &c., which-although not written by a native or resident or printed or published in— relate to the County.

II. It will give the title, vol., and page of works, outside county books, wherein are found references to Staffordshire persons or places.

III. It will contain a history of Printing, with biographical notices of Printers, Publishers, &c., not to be found elsewhere.

IV. It will contain a complete catalogue of Paintings, Prints, Engravings, Portraits, &c., done by Staffordshire Artists or Engravers, or wherein Staffordshire persons or places are depicted.

The above briefly states what is intended by this publi cation, to accomplish which the compiler respectfully solicits from the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Authors, Printers, Publishers, and all others who may have such, the following information :

Ist.-Full title, number of pages, illustrations, and editor; size, number of copies issued, whether published for private circulation, of all printed matter which shall come under one of the above heads.

2nd. Similar information relating to MSS. collections and where now lodged.

3rd. Any information relating to Printers, Publishers, Authors, Editors, Illustrators, Compilers; if con. nected with the County.

4th.-Portraits, Drawings, Engravings, Paintings, Prints, or Illustrations wherein Staffordshire perosns or places are portrayed.

Any lady or gentleman having such who will kindly send particulars, or loan copies, or sell duplicates, to the undersigned, will greatly facilitate the work, and will much oblige, yours obediently,

THE NEW SEAL OF THE PLYMOUTH

T

INSTITUTION.

HE seal which we are enabled to present to our readers by the courtesy of the Council of the Plymouth Institution, was adopted last year upon the incorporation of that body under the Act 30 and 31, Vic.

It is an artistic production, designed by Mr. A. J. Jewers. It is 2%-inches in diameter. Within two concentric spaces around the exterior is the inscription"Plymouth Institution, and Devon and Cornwall Natural History Society. Founded 1812. Incorporated 1884.' The interior circular space bears five shields and four devices, all indicative of the character of the institution and its historical associations :

I. The central shield-the place of honor-is that Henry Woolcombe, the founder of the Institution (Ar., three bars gu. in chief a martlet for difference).

II. Above it is a shield bearing the arms of Plympton Priory-two keys reversed, crossed by a sword (Gu, two keys indorsed in bend, the uppermost ar. the other or, a sword interposed between them in bend sinister of the second, pommel and hilt or). This is exactly the same as the present arms of the See of Winchester. At one time it was also that of the See of Exeter. The connection between the Priory of Plympton and the town of Plymouth was formerly very intimate, the whole of the eastern part of the town being owned by that Priory, and was known as the Manor of Sutton Prior. The last Prior was indeed a far-sighted and worldly wise man. He foresaw what was the inevitable doom of his Priory long before the actual suppression of the religious houses in the reign of Henry VIII. Consequently he granted leases of nearly all the lands belonging to the priory and thus materially enriched himself. Accordingly, when the Royal Commissioners visited Plympton they found the Prior quite prepared to yield his "interests," and a handsome pension was awarded to him. This together with the amount he had already netted from the leases he had granted, left him in a very comfortable position.

III. The shield below is that of the original arms of Plymouth, taken from one of the old seals of the town of 14th and 15th centuries (Gu. on a base wavy of six, arg. and az. a ship with three masts without sails or yard arms or, with fire beacons on the round tops ppr) This shield is contained in the Visitation of 1574, and is also mentioned by Edmondson in his Complete body of Heraldry of 1794. The ship is a device common to many of the sea port

towns.

IV. On the left and right of the centre shield are placed the nearest approach to the arms of Devon and Cornwall, neither of which counties, as such, possess arms. That on the left are the arms of the De Redvers, Earls of Devon, a lion rampant (Or a lion rampant, az. armed and langued gu). The Courtenays, or afterwards De Redvers, were one of the most illustrious families among the English nobility. On the paternal side they were descended from Athon, and through him from Pharamond, the founder of the French monarchy, A. D. 420, and, therefore, the com

mon ancestor of all the Kings of France. Athon, having fortified the town of Courtenay, in the Isle of France, during the reign of Robert the Wise, assumed the name Athon de Courtenay. The power of the Courtenays in England arose principally from the great alliances formed by the first members of the family who settled here. Baldwin de Brionis, the great grandson of Richard, the first Duke of Normandy, and, therefore, of the same relationship to him as Duke William, accompanied his relative to England; and for the distinguished part he took in the Conquest, obtained from King William the grant of the barony of Okehainpton, the custody of the county of Devon, and the government of the Castle of Exeter in fee. His son, Richard De Abrincis, who was surnamed De Redvers, was created by Henry I., Earl of Devon. The various vicissitudes,-attainders, forfeitures, and new creations, but always through the family of the Courtenays, to the present possessor of the earldom under patent of restoration of Mary I., September 3rd, 1553, forms a most romantic and interesting passage in English history.

V. Like its sister county Devon, the county of Cornwall has no arms of its own, but generally adopts those of the Duchy of Cornwall (Sa fifteen besants, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1). This is placed on the right of the centre shield.

The four interspaces of the field of the seal are filled with emblematic representations. Above, on the left is a bird --Cornish Chough-representing natural history, while on the right is a palette with brushes, symbolizing art. Below, on the left is a scroll with its accompanying style, indicating literature; and on the right a cromlech, suggestive of antiquities.

Thus have been brought together all the points of association, with which the Institution may be said to be connected, of a local, historical, and constitutional character, and the designer and the Institution, alike, are to be congratulated upon having adopted so happy a combination of emblematic devices.
