It incorporates comparable data from the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and the Elizabeth I. Much of the analysis is quantitative in nature: chapters compare the appointments of justices of the peace during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, and reveal that purges of the commissions of the peace were far more common than is generally believed. Furthermore, purges appear to have been religiously- based, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I. There is a gap in the quantitative data beginning in 1569, only eleven years into Elizabeth I’s reign, which continues until 1584. In an effort to compensate for the loss of quantitative data, this dissertation analyzes a different primary source, William Lambarde’s guidebook for JPs, Eirenarcha. The fourth chapter makes particular use of Eirenarcha, exploring required duties both in and out of session, what technical and personal qualities were expected of JPs, and how well they lived up to them.

    York Clergy Ordinations 1374-1399 Edited by David M.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

ANNAPOLIS Printed in U.S.A. 1748-1775 This monograph is a summary of intensive research into documentary and second­ ary source materials pertinent to the history of maritime trade and commerce in the port of Annapolis, Maryland, during the third quarter of the eighteenth century. The research project was a part of the general study of the historic port area of the city of Annapolis, sponsored by The Old Dominion Foundation through a grant made in I960 to Historic Annapolis Inc. Early in the study period, the staff of Historic Annapolis Inc. was made aware of the wealth of documentary source materials that exists in the collections of the Maryland Hall of Records. In spite of the existence of unusually complete and informative manuscript sources, relatively little was available in published form that could be called "definitive" in terms of maritime activity in the historic port. Annapolis was a colonial seaport of some repute. Generally, it was held that the city's importance as a seaport was largely based on trade in tobacco. But the details of the tobacco trade, the variety of import and export items that passed through the Port of Entry, the volume of shipping that Annapolis had enjoyed in the eighteenth century, and the routes and ports of call of vessels trading out of the port had never been correlated.

Michael Winship proved a challenging and supportive Director who knew when to push, when to lay off, and, in my weaker moments, when all I needed was a little encouragement. A compliment from Michael means a great deal, and I will always remember mine. I have truly enjoyed sharing this experience with him and hope we will stay in touch. I am thankful to Alan Friedman and Mia Carter, who offered valuable comments on drafts of the dissertation as well as work I produced throughout my time in graduate school. I owe special thanks to Wayne Lesser, who supported me in a variety of ways in his role as Graduate Adviser and stepped in as a member of my committee to ensure that I could defend in Summer 2012. My debt to Ira Nadel goes back farther than to the rest of my committee, as he advised me when I was applying to graduate schools in 2002.
