Synopsis
Excerpt from A Cursory Relation of All the Antiquities Familyes in Cumberland
N pursuance of the policy, followed by this Society, of publishing gradually in its Trans actions and its extra volumes, every unpublished -manuscript that relates to the two counties with which we deal, Sandford's History of Cumberland is now published. Several Copies of this manuscript exist, but they are all Copied from one which is bound up in the 6th volume of Machell's Collee tions in the Library Of the Dean and Chapter at Carlisle. Machell does not appear to have known who the writer was, and records his ignorance on the title page, but in the index to the Collections, vol. 6, is this note in the handwriting Of Bishop Nicolson.
