J\Iy thanks are due, and arc heartily tendered to the Rev. J. T. Fowler, F.S.A., and to l\lr. Jcrram for placing their collections, illustrative of the Lincolnshire Bells, at my disposal; to ] . J. Creswell, Esq., and again to the Rev. J. T. Fowler, F.S.A., and through him to some unknown friends, for very careful and exact drawings of many Bcllfoundcrs' stamps to illustrate this volume; to J . R. Daniel Tyssen, Esq., F.S.A., \V. Amherst Tyssen Amherst, Esq., l\l.P., F.S.A., and to Ll.Jewitt, Esq., F.S.A., for the use of wood blocks; to the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln for permission to make extracts from their muniments, and to the Rev. Canon \Vickenden for very courteously and efficiently making searches for me, and for directing and superintending the transcriber employed; to \V. P. \V. Phillimore, Esq., for help most kindly given in the Public Record Office, London, (where Mr. Vincent rendered me careful and valuable professional services) ; to the Rev. \V. G. Dimock Fletcher, for (as on former occasions) kindly searching, and making extracts, for me in the Bodleian Library, Oxford ; to l\'Ir. Justin Simpson for gi,·ing much time amongst, and making extracts from, the Records belonging to the different , and to the 1\Iunicipality, of Stamford; and to the Rev. Reginald H. C. Fitz-Herbert, \V. H. Jones, Esq., and other gentlemen, who made long journies, and spent many hours amongst dusty and musty Papers, preserved in Church chests, in searching-sometimes with the most meagre result to cheer them-for information about the bells hanging over their heads. Preface. Xlll

And, whilst I append to this Preface a list of the ladies and gentlemen to whom I am specially indebted, and to whom I here specially offer my thanks, for Rubbings or Casts taken from the bells of the parishes placed opposite to their names, I beg all others who have aided me in a variety of ways, by procuring measurements of their bells, sending me notes on their ((Uses," hunting up Traditions, searching the Regist~rs and other Records of their parishes, &c., &c., to accept my best thanks for their valuable assistance so freely and ungrudgingly given.
