Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Miscellany of the New Spalding Club, Vol. 1
The portion of the Guild and Trade burgess Roll from 1399 to 1631, now printed, comprises the admissions of the various classes of burgesses mentioned in the volumes of the Council Register up to the date when the first of the particular registers devoted to such entries was commenced. During the period of two and a third centuries covered by the list, there are blanks which in the aggregate amount to thirty-three years. The long lost volume in the series of the Council Register, covering the period from 1414 till 1433, accounts for twenty years, while the other blanks are caused by the carelessness of the keepers of the registers for the time being. Their good intentions are generally shown by the blank leaf or leaves occurring immediately before the Michaelmas Election, at the place where the entrants for the year are generally found recorded. The particular years awant ing in the R011 are 1401-5, 1413-32, 1434-5, 15189, 1557, 1562 4. Other blanks have been filled in from the Guildry Accounts where such existed.
