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.

Fitz-Herbert, \V. H. Jones, Esq., and other gentlemen, who made long journies, and spent many hours amongst dusty and musty Parish 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.
