labours of the Society of Antiquaries and the Archaeological
Association have helped me enormously; these, with wills, wardrobe
accounts, 'Satires' by Hall and others, 'Anatomies of Abuses,'
broadsides, and other works on the same subject, French, German, and
English, have made my task easier than it might have been.
It was no use to spin out my list of manuscripts with the
numbers--endless numbers--of those which proved dry ground, so I have
given those only which have yielded a rich harvest
