Antiquitates seu historiarum reliquiae sunt tanquam tabulae naufragii, cum deficiente et fere submersa rerum memoria; nihilominus homines industrii et sagaces, pertinaci quadam et scrupulosa diligentia, ex genealogis, fastis, titulis, monumentis, numismatibus, nominibus propriis et stylis, verborum etymologiis, proverbis, traditionibus, archivis, et instrumentis, tam publicis quam privatis, historiarum fragmentis, librorumneutiquam historicorum locis dispersis, ex his, inquam, omnibus vel aliquibus, nonnulla a temporis diluvio eripiunt et conservant. Res sane operosa, sed mortalibus grata et cum reverentia quadam conjuncta." — Bacon, De Augmentis, ii.

Antiquities, or remnants of history, are, as was said, tanquam tabulae naufragii; when industrious persons, by an exact and scrupulous diligence and observation, out of monuments, names, words, proverbs, traditions, private records and evidences, fragments of stories, passages of books that concern not story, and the like, do save and recover somewhat from the deluge of time," — Bacon, Advancement of Learning, ii.

Errata and Addenda

• Page 5, line 3, for muttons, read, multons.
• Page 5, line 5, for bucks, read, bucks.
• Page 18. With reference to the facsimile of Letter VI., it should be noted that this does not differ from other original letters of the period, the address being always at the back, and the signature at the foot of the folio, however wide the space might be between it and the last words of the letter. These two points we have been obliged to accommodate to our page; in other respects, the lithograph is an exact facsimile of the original.
• Page 40, The heading of Letter 23, for From the Same to the Same, read, From Archbishop Warham to Cardinal Wolsey.
• Page 40, line 15, Oourtopscet, sic in original, but it should have been ' Oourtopstret,' for Court at Street, vulgo Courtup Street, i.e. the manor of Street, in Linme. It was at the Chapel of our Lady here that the "Holy Maid of Kent" practised her impostures.
• Page 67, line 5, for the reference p. 50, read p. 64.
• Page 87. The woodcut of Sir Thomas Burton should have been inserted at the top of p. 88.
• Page 120. The inscription to Sir Thomas Bullen has been worked off at the foot of the figure, instead of being placed, as on the tomb itself, over the head. It was originally at the foot of the tomb; but as that adjoins the eastern wall of the church, it was probably transferred thence to its present position for facility of reading.
• Page 124. In the commencement of the paper a reference is made to the "Inquisitiones post Mortem in the Appendix to this Volume," We have been compelled by want of space to defer the insertion of these "Inquisitiones" till our next.
• Page 195, line 23, for hould, read should.
• Page 213, line 20, for incenced, read incensed.
