Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short History of Sherborne From 705 A. D
HE first edition being now sold out, a second is issued, which I hope will disappear as quickly as its predecessor. The first edition was made as cheap as possible, so that it might be the more readily bought and a knowledge of what Sherborne has been and is, might be spread abroad. The same is the case with the second edition, while the print is better. Several points have been corrected, which were wrongly put before. The book is still not complete; I have in my possession material for writing the history of Sherborne Hundred, but not enough. Some other man may get' hold of records connected with Sherborne, which I think must exist in the archives of the Bishop, and of the Dean and Chapter of Sarum, and probably also in the County archives (if there are any preserved) at Dor Chester. From the Almshouse Accounts too, much I think might be got, and certainly among the Digby Papers there must be matter relating to the great manor of Sherborne in old days.
