Excerpt from Sussex Archaeological Collections Relating to the History and Antiquities of the County, Vol. 87The business recorded is largely, though not wholly, testamentary, there are, for instance, records Of matri monial differences, and Of other normal business Of Church courts. With the non-testamentary matter I have not dealt, but I have attempted to make a com plete calendar Of the wills (which are all, unless the contrary is stated, in Latin). I have not rearranged the ecclesiological information under parishes, but have made an abstract Of all material information contained in each will, whether it concerns the genealogist or the student Of parish history. It should be remembered that the paper Of the book is Often in poor condition, that the ink has Often faded, and that the handwriting sometimes degenerates into a scrawl, consequently many readings are uncertain. Even at the time the standard Of regis tration was not high, as the blunders in dating show, for the scribe frequently records the day Of the week as well as that Of the month (or the Saint's day), furnishing a means Of checking his accuracy which does not lead to a good opinion Of it. But satisfaction at having any records at all may well temper any feelings Of dis approval Of their inaccuracy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
