are ingrossed, in order to be passed under the Great Seal, by the several Officers of that Court to whom the Ingrossment thereof respectively belongs, and as soon as these Inrolments are made, they are delivered by the Riding Six Clerk, together with such instruments contained in the Patent Rolls as are estreated on Rolls, called "Estreat Rolls,* according to the Statute of Estreats, and also the Privy Seals, or Signed Bills, into the Petty Bag Office, in order to be examined by the senior clerk of that Office, by whom the Patent Rolls and the Privy Seals or Signed Bills are transmitted into the Chapel of the Rolls, and the Estreats into the Exchequer, where they are denominated, “The Originalia of Chancery."

There are Alphabetical Calendars or Indexes, consisting of fifty folio volumes, which have been made yearly by the different Officers, according to the duty of the office, as these Rolls have been brought in, under the uames of Grantees, referring to short Abstracts, containing the date and general purport of the Grant, Commission, &c. and the duration thereof, whether in Fee or Tail, for Life, for Years, or otherwise, which Calendars have been generally found to be very correct; but as it often happens that persons wanting to search for Grants of Manors, Lands, &c. do not know the exact times when the Grants passed, nor to whom they were made, an index or Calendar of the names of places, alphabetically arranged, referring at once to the name of the grantee, and the date of the Grant, has been much wanted. When the present clerk of the Records in the Rolls Chapel, succeeded to the Office in 1775, he found great inconvenience for want of an Index Locorum, and having understood that Mr. Rooke, his predecessor, had private Indexes, containing Indices Locorum and other useful matters in relation to the Records, he purchased them of Mr. Rooke's executors at a large price. The most material of these Indexes consist of five folio

Books of Alphabets of Places, referring to twenty-four other folio Books indorsed with the several Letters of the Alphabet, and containing the dates of the Grants, the names of the Grantees, and references to the Rolls.

This book is printed in folio, and is the second edition of a work, originally published in 1754, under the title of "Observations on the Antiquities, Historical and Monumental, of the County of Cornwall, &c." It contains the most consistent and satisfactory account of Druidism, supported by what may truly be called its best vouchers, viz. its remains, which are scattered up and down in Cornwall, where it seems to have subsisted in its greatest purity and splendour, as well as to have maintained its empire longest.
