1725.-THE GLOUCESTER CORPORATION RECORDS.-The Town Council of Gloucester having given their consent, a "Calendar of the City Records," and the "Rental of all the Houses in Gloucester in A.D. 1455," are shortly to be published by subscription, in two 8vo volumes. The issue is to be limited to 300 copies, including 50 on large paper. The subscription for the two volumes (small paper) will be 178. 6d., but either may be subscribed for separately at 10s. 6d. The large paper copies, which will be numbered, will be issued to subscribers at 258., or 15s. for either volume. The editing has been placed in the hands of Mr. W. H. Stevenson, of the Royal Commission on Historical MSS., and the Rev. William Bazeley, M.A., Secretary of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archæological Society; and Mr. John Bellows will be the printer.

The "Calendar" will consist principally of full abstracts, in English, of the early local deeds in the possession of the Corporation. This collection is exceptionally rich in early deeds. There are close upon 1300, and of this number no fewer than 571 are older than the year 1300, some dating from the 12th century. They throw great light upon the history of Gloucester. Amongst the seals appended to them are many fine examples of early date of those of local landowning families. These deeds, which have hitherto lain unused, being practically unavailable for historical and genealogical research, have been carefully arranged and calendared in chronological order by Mr. Stevenson. The "Calendar" will also include abstracts of the royal charters and letters patent, and will give descriptions of the early books, rolls, etc. It is intended to give at least one fac-simile as an example of the early deeds, and reproductions of several ancient seals.

The "Rental" will consist of a transcript of the invaluable Gloucester rent-roll, drawn up in 1455 by Robert Cole, a canon of Llanthony Priory. This roll is written in Latin, on parchment, and measures 33 feet in length by 15 inches in width. It gives an account of every house in the borough, the names of the owner and tenant, the tenant's trade, the amount of rent, the amount payable for landgavel rent, and, in many cases, an abstract of title from the

time of Henry III. On the roll are curious drawings of the various churches, chapels, friaries, wells, the pillory, etc. The work is thus practically a survey and directory as well as a rent-roll of the city in 1455. It is doubtful whether any other borough possesses such a minute survey of so early a date. In printing this probably unique record the original Latin will be given in full (the contracted words being extended), accompanied by an English translation on the opposite page. The interesting drawings in the MS. will be reproduced in fac-simile. On the back of the roll is a most elaborate and carefully compiled pedigree of the kings of England from William the Conqueror to Henry VI., historical sketches of each monarch being given in English. These have a double value, as representing the popular English history of the period, and as specimens of the Gloucestershire dialect in the fifteenth century.

1726.—THE HEALTHINESS OF NORTHLEACH.-The healthiness of Naunton has been noticed in No. 39; of Saintbury in No. 516; of Dyrham in No. 628; and of Hempstead and Fylton in No. 1067. Allow me to send you a cutting from the Gloucestershire Chronicle, Feb. 23, 1889, with reference to Northleach :

LONG LIFE.-During the year 1888 there were ten deaths in this proverbially healthy town, and the aggregate ages of the ten persons who died amounted to 759 years, or an average of but one short of 76 years. The youngest was 61 and the oldest 88 years of age. The population of Northleach at the last census was 1206.

1727.-EXTRAORDINARY SPEED IN COACH TRAVELLING, 1833.From Bennett's Tewkesbury Register and Magazine, vol. i., p. 131, I have gleaned what follows:-May 1. L'Hirondelle, a Liverpool and Cheltenham coach, left Birkenhead Ferry, Liverpool, at five minutes before six o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the Swan Hotel, in this borough [Tewkesbury], at seven minutes before three in the afternoon, having accomplished a distance of 122 miles in less than nine hours, which is a most extraordinary instance of speed in coach travelling. The first of May is considered a kind of coach anniversary at Cheltenham; but it is to be lamented that horses should be tasked to such a feat, merely to gratify the vanity of an unfeeling coachman: the proprietors should reflect that it is said, upon high authority,-"a righteous man regardeth the life of his beast." CHELTONIENSIS.

1728.-"MR. HAVARD'S VOYAGE ROUND TEWKESBURY," A.D. 1770.-The following statement was drawn up by the late Neast Havard, Esq., of Tewkesbury, solicitor and town-clerk; and the original is endorsed, "Mr. Havard's Voyage round Tewkesbury in the time of the High Flood." It has, no doubt, appeared in
