predecessors, as the records become fuller and more elaborate. It is also proposed, as soon as possible, to print a series of records of real actions and of cases illustrating villein status and villein tenure; but how soon these can be undertaken depends entirely on the number of subscribers. In all the publications of the Society there will be a full subject-index and complete indexes of the names of all persons and places, thereby ren dering the volumes of great value to local historians and genealogists as well as to lawyers. The Council will be glad to receive offers of help from all persons who are willing to assist in carrying into effect the Second of the Society's objects, — the collection of materials for the Dic tionaries of Anglo-French and of Law Terms. Directions for the plan to be adopted in collecting materials have been kindly drawn up by Prof. W. W. Skeat. On application to the Honorary Secretary, a copy will be forwarded to any person willing to assist. An account of the principal classes of MSS. with which the Society proposes to deal may be had from the Honorary Secretary by members of the Society gratis, or by non-members at the price of one shilling. Mr. Bernard Quaritch, 15 Pic cadilly, W., has been appointed agent for the sale to non-members of the Society's publications. The price to non-members of each volume of the So ciety's publications will be £ 10s. The Annual Subscription to the Society is one guinea, due on the first of January for the year then commencing. Members have no further lia bility of any kind. Each subscriber will receive a copy of all the publications issued in respect of the subscription for the year. A composition of twenty guineas is accepted in lieu of all Annual Subscriptions, constituting Life Membership from
the date of composition, and in the case of Libra ries, Societies, and Corporate Bodies, membership for thirty-years. Subscriptions should be paid, in America, to Prof. W. A. Keener, Cambridge, Mass., Honorary Secretary for America, who has kindly undertaken to receive all American sub scriptions; in England, to the Honorary Secretary and Treasurer, P. Edward Dove, 23 Old Build ings, Lincoln's Inn. March, 1888.
