ESCHEATS, RECORDS, &c. Cott. MSS. An Index of the Heirs of Noble families extracted from the Escheats and other . Records in the Tower, from the reign of r Edw. I. to the end of the reign of Henry VIII. This extremely useful MS., which is ar- ranged in alphabetical order, is very clearly written, and is apparently in the autograph of the celebrated Glover. The selection appears partial, and is taken from the Inquisitions Post Mor- tem and other Records in the Tower. As it does not extend beyond the reign of Henry VIII. it forms a very neces- sary addition to Cole's Escheats, and, together with that Collection, presents a body of Genealogical Evidence wor- thy of considerable attention.

VIII., and, though not well arranged, and written in a very illegible hand, is nevertheless of im- portant value to Antiquaries and Ge- nealogical writers. A Collection out of the Records in the Tower ; showing the Foundation and En- dowment of all Monasteries, Abbeys, Priories, Hospitals, Chapels, and Chaun- tries, and also of all the Colleges in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ; the Incorporating of all Cities and Bo- rough Towns, with the Companies in Cott.

It is well indexed, and is described at length in the Harleian Catalogue, Vol.1, pp.74 and 75. Pedigrees, Arms, and Notes, relating to numerous ancient families, collected by and in the autograph of Robert Glover, Somerset Herald - ... 807 This MS. is peculiarly worthy of atten- tion from the high authority which is justly attributed to all Glover's Pedi- grees ; from there being about one hun- dred families noticed in this Collection, it presents a body of Genealogical in- formation which, considering the ex- alted professional reputation of the Compiler, cannot perhaps be too high- ly appreciated. The contents of the volume are fully described in Vol. 1. 104 ESCHEATS, RECORDS, &e, Harl.MSS. p. 445 and 446 of the Harleian Cata- logue, and a copious Index is given at the end of the MS.

This mark * indicates that there is not a copy of the Visitation made in that particular year, in the British Museum. Many of the following Dates are evidently only Dates of different Genealogical Collections ; for although very considerable pains have been taken to ascertain precisely the Dates of the different VISITATIONS, it was found im- practicable to give a List which could be relied on. Several corrections have been made in this List from that given in the First Edition of this Publication, which was chiefly taken from Moule's Bibliotheca Heraldica and Noble's College of Arms ; both these works, how- ever, and more particularly the former, have, on exami- nation, proved to be extremely erroneous. It is also to be observed, that many Visitations, though under the authority of the same Commission, were necessarily made in different years. Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire.

Harl. MSS. 1171, is probably only a copy of part of the Visitation of 1563, by William Flower, Norroy, with some continuations to the year 1575, for it does not appear that Yorkshire was visited in 1575.
