Of the two dates given at the end of each will, the first is that of execution, and the second that of probate. Where not otherwise stated, it may be assumed that probate was granted in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Somerset House being naturally the chief source of information. I am also under an obligation to H. F. Burke, Esq., Somerset Herald, and to Dr. J. J. Howard, for permission to inspect a MS., the property of Sir John Lawson, Bart., now in course of publication, to which occasional reference is made, and which at the present time is deposited at the College of Arms.
