THE»e:«i:i«letioii of tlie ibird voluiue of tlie Cartularium Saxonicum, 
brfgig^g tlie collcctiou of Auglo-Saxon Cliarters down to tbe end of 
tlie w£^ of King Eadgar, Iias been delayed by niany unforescen 
circm::^anccs, wbich have, however, at length been overcome. 
StEEL 21 is Mitli regret that the original mtention of carr}'ing Uie 
wock in <«ne uubroken scries dowu to the Conc|ucst of England by 
thar XvTinaus has to be abandoned, and the work divided iuto two 
Serik**, vf which this prescnt vnlumc, and a supplcmcntary volume 
(tt> ^.e raeutioned prcseutly), complete the First. The Second Series, 
if iz i> carricd out — a niatter depcudiug vcry much uj^on Uie 
8Trffj».*n of subscribcrs — will coutiuue the collection down to a 
sociitnKrLat latcr period than was originally intcudcd, so as to 
inctuac thc early Euglish chartcrs of tlie Xorman monarclis. 

Tljtr sui^plcmcntary volume, which is in course of i^rcj^aration, 
wiZI ->«iisist of a gcueral iutixxluction to thc wholc subject, taUes 
«f ^ioiidne and doubtful tcxts,y<#<f/i of royal and otlier pcrsonagcs; 
ll<A^ ««f coutributory maunscripts ; and full indices of persons» 
I»ti«:!e5, and subjccts. This volumc, being to a grcat extent iutro- 
«Inkicjrr, will proi^crly find its place at the bcgiuuing of the Firsi 
SisS-js. ond scrve as a mauual to the study of the subjecL 

Tv ii3e it.is a gcnuine source of gratification that I have beeu 
eQiiTiutNl, Ly diut of examiuatiou of a large number of ancient 
nuuunfKTipts, aud with assistauce of many fricnds iu diirercnt parts 
c€ Eii^aud, to be the first to marslial into one work, iu chronological 
arci.j, tlie Iiitherto unixiralleled numbcr of no less than thirteen

tinpublishcil, and all of whicli havc boeu coUatcil witli the ori^nals 
— \vith a vcr)' fcw exceptions indeeJ, where the origiiials were in- 
acccssiblc — so that the student niay consult theni as they actually 
stand in theinnauuscripts, with whatever crrors thc scril)es of these 
manuscripts havc perpetuatcd ; thcreby iuviting enicndations from 
theni, rather than atteinpting inyself to cmend what appcars faulty 
or incorrect. It cannot be expected, nor is it desirable, that the 
colli*ctor of ancicnt tcxts should himself be the critical cxpositor 
of their conteuts ; the man who fells a tree cannot assume (in 
civilised placcs) to carve its wood iuto beaxitiful fonus ; just so 
iny task is coinpletcd when I lay before historians and theorists 
tlie materials — of as good a quality as may be— out of which they 
may conslnict a faithful represenlation of the Anglo-Saxou tiines 
which could not otherwise be achieved. I aiu not aware of the 
cxistence of any dceds which should fall into the somcwhat com- 
prcheiisive scopo of this work that have been omitted, although it 
is quile ix>ssible Ihat a few may have been overlooked ; but, speak- 
iug gencrally, it may bc taken that we have iu these tliree volumes 
all available docunientary evidence bearing upon our history— other 
than the work of historians and chroniclers — as far as the limit of 
years extends.

with thia tribe. I subjoin, however, a purely tentatiTe liit of ■osm d tbeee pko»- 
namet : — 

Machiiway, the name of a river in oo. lUdnor, (Cariiale, T»f. DicL Wmtm,

Mageston, near Shafteebuiy, oo. Dorset 

Maisemore parish, near Glouoester, co. Oloue.

Maisey-HAmpton, al, Hampton Massey, near Fairford, oo. Oloae. 

Maesbury and Maesbrook, near Oswestry, oo. Salop. 

Mayshillf in Westerlcigh parish, near Chipping-Sodbury, eo. Olooe. 

Marston-Maisey parish, near Cricklade, eo. Wflta. 

Staunton upon-Arrow, v. tmpra, 

TarichiU (Geardcylle), see Ko. 8S2. 

The tribe ia mentioned in the Anglc-Sturan Chrom^ t. am, Kxn. GibeoQ*t aokt 
it interesting : " Opinatur Camdenua Radnoriam veterem fuiite Mmgom nxbem aati*

The word Mage appears also to enter into the compotition of the ntmw ol aome oC

magis illi Regi , omnium rcrum Creatori , omni mentis iutentione 
militare debemus ; qui non solum perdita restaurat , sed etiam

ricolx illius ternc hoc nomen indideniut , Bicincgtun , ad Monas-

' magnis quam iii niodicis rebus , campis ,. pascuis , pratis , rivulia .

coa*tlificatione . 

Nos igitur supradicti Sancti Petri Monasterii ccenobitfe » cum 
regis conscnsu suommquc heroicorum , necnon nostro communi 
consilio , hanc supradictam terram cuidam regis ministro , vocitato 
nomine yELFRico , pro petitione amicomm suorum , atque ejus 
plucabili munere , quo<l cum humil: dcvotiouc nobis laigitus est . 
id est , LX . mancusas auri , diebus viUc suoi libenter concedimus ,

omnibus utcnsilibus , hominibus , ovibus , pecoribusque , Monas-

Si quis autcin reprobus falsis machinationibus , per aliquam scrip-
