Excerpt from The Register of Nicholas Bubwith, Bishop of Bath and Wells, 1407-1424, Vol. 1: From the Original in the Registry at WellsThe Register of Bishop Nicholas Bubwith, now issued to subscribers, has been found sufficient by itself to fill two volumes, apart from the register Of his successor, Bishop Stafford and in the ordinary course Of events these volumes, representing the subscriptions for 1913 and 1914, would have been sent out last autumn. But the outbreak of the war found Canon Scott Holmes on a holiday tour at Frankfort, when he undertook the great responsibility of escorting a number of non-combatants back to England. In the confusion, his own baggage, containing the manuscript Of the Bishop's life and other sections Of the Introduction, was lost, and on his return this portion had to be rewritten. This explanation will sufficiently account for the unfortunate delay in issuing the volumes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
