The Register of Richard Fox: While Bishop of Bath and Wells, A. D. 1492-1894 (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Register of Richard While Bishop of Bath and Wells, A. D. 1492-1894
The original Promoters of the present work desired that one of the Mediaeval Registers of the Bishops of Bath and Wells should be printed entire.
Two reasons for selecting, among those in the Wells Registry, the Register of Bishop Fox, first, the very interesting period to which it relates, a period quite anterior to the Reformation, and yet almost on the eve of that event; secondly, the comparative brevity of the volume, which enables the exact words of the forms used to be lastingly recorded, without oppressive repetition.
