Excerpt from Monumental Brasses of Warwickshire: Accurately Transcribed, With Translations and Descriptive Notes The notes, now collected, and which received the Darwin medal for Archaeology, originally appeared in "The Midland Naturalist" for 1886, and were reprinted by permission of the editors of that magazine. As far as was possible an alphabetical arrangement was followed, but this had to be occasionally abandoned for reasons which are given from time to time. A reference to the index will overcome any difficulties which a faulty arrangement may cause. The writer begs to thank the clergy of Warwickshire for their unfailing courtesy in allowing him to take rubbings. He trusts that the list of Warwickshire Brasses is fairly complete. Any value it may have in this respect is largely due to the valuable and unstinted information and assistance of J. A. Cossins, Esq., at whose suggestion the work was undertaken, and by whose experience it was guided. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
