Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, xiii, 207, [1] pp. From the preface: "The formation of a collection of manuscripts relating to the City, County, and University of Oxford under the name of MSS. Topographical Oxfordshire (MSS. Top. Oxon.) goes back to 1884. The contents of the collection up to 1890 were described in vol. V of the Summary Catalogue, and from then onwards to 1915 in vol. VI. The plan of these volumes was to describe the collections in chronological order of accession. Thus the descriptions of MSS. Top. Oxon. have to be looked for under each year and were not collected together. The First World War made impossible the continuance of the publication of a catalogue of accessions year by year, and it has seemed sensible to describe all the accessions of MSS. Top. Oxon. from 1916 onwards together in one volume." Among the more important collections of manuscripts covered by this volume are those of the following collectors and historians: Frederick Joseph Morrell (1811-82), and his son Frederick Parker Morrell (1839-1908); Percy Manning (1870-1917); Falconer Madan (1851-1935); H.
