You, Sir, first taught me those rudiments, and to your kind auspices since, I owe all I have attained to in them; for your eminence in the republic of letters, so long iv established by your justly esteemed and learned pub= lications, is such, as few have equalled, and none have surpassed; your distinguished knowledge in the va= rious records of the History of this County, as well as of the diplomatique papers of the State, has justly entitled you, through his Majesty’s judicious choice, in preference to all others, to preside over the reposi= tories, where those archives are kept, which during the time you have been entrusted with them, you have filled to the universal benefit and satisfaction of every one.

  • Anecdotes of the Hasted Family
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 26 1904 ( 267 ) ANECDOTES OE THE HASTED EAMILY. THE name of Edward Hasted, to whose great county history, in spite of its inaccuracies and lack of literary style, all subsequent workers in the same field owe more than they often care to own, will always be held in honour by Kentish antiquaries. Little, however, appears to he known about the family and life of the man himself. What is known is probably based upon the obituary notice which appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1812; this had been written by Hasted himself, and conveys a somewhat inaccurate impres- sion. The Kentish historian is described therein as descended from the baronial house of Clifford—a gentleman of birth and fortune who, by the malignity ; of certain enemies (unnamed), bad been deprived of his patrimony, and brought to such financial straits that he spent some years within the " liberty " of the King's Bench, and at length found an asylum in his old age at Oorsham in "Wilts, where he ended his days in 1812 as Master of Lady Hungerford's Hospital. It has generally been assumed from the above that Edward Hasted was a man of position in the county, and that his pecuniary downfall was chiefly owing to the vast sums of money expended in the production of his History of Kent. This can hardly be accepted as a correct account. Joseph Hasted, the historian's grandfather, was born in the city of Canterbury in EDWAKL) HASTED. F.S.A, .1-:TAT. l~>.

SOUTHWARD from Frindsbury lies Stroud, called in the Textus Roffensis, Strodes. THE PARISH lies within two jurisdictions, one of which is within that of the justices of the county at large, and the other within that of the bounds of the corporation of the city of Rochester and hundred of the same, the two divisions being known by the names of Stroud Infra and Stroud Extra; the former includes that part of this parish from the High-street of Ro= chester over the bridge to the mill, called Stroud- mill, including the same, and from thence along the High-street, at the right hand side thereof, to the sign of the Angel, and so beyond the church along the high road to the cross way leading from Rochester to Gravesend, and from Cuxton to Frindsbury, and thence up the said way leading to Frindsbury, to a house once called the Ship, including the church of Stroud, and so in circuit about, and including all Littleborough or Littlebury, unto the city of Ro= chester and Medway again./c /c Kilburne’s Survey, p. 263. History of Rochester, p. 257. 547 The latter is partly within the jurisdiction of the court, held for the hundred of Shamel, and partly within that of the manor of Stroud, alias Temple. This parish is situated for the most part to the southward of the high London road; the river Med= way is its eastern boundary as far as Cookstone, near the banks of which is the manor house of the Tem= ple; whence it rises up the hills till it joins the parish of Cobham, being the greatest part of it a chalky soil.
