1912.

At a Council Meeting of the Surtees Society, held in Durham Castle, on Tuesday, March 1st, 1910, the Dean of Durham in the Chair,

IT WAS RESOLVED,

That the volume to be issued for the year 1911 be MS. belonging to the Corporation of York, under the editorship. of Miss Maud Sellers, Litt. D.

PREFACE.

My most cordial thanks are due to Miss M. T. Martin, who undertook the task of transcribing the MS. The illegibility and many textual corruptions increased the difficulty of her extremely arduous labours-but any inaccuracies or errors that may be discovered are entirely owing to me.

The Surtees Society were fortunate in possessing transcriptions of many of the Gild Ordinances made more than forty years ago by Mr. Skaife; these I collated with the original text, but their clearness and accuracy rendered my task almost superfluous.

I am exceedingly grateful to Sir George Warner, late Keeper of MSS. in the British Museum, for his assistance in many ways.

Mr. William Brown has given me considerable help, especially in making abstracts of those passages which were not of sufficient importance to merit verbatim transcription.

It is difficult for me to express adequately my gratitude for all the help Mr. G. G. Coulton has given me; in dealing with the text I made ceaseless demands on his knowledge of Anglo-French and medieval Latin; and although the introduction has not been seen by him, it owes much to his suggestion.

I am deeply grateful to Professor Unwin, of Manchester, who looked through the transcript of the MS.; his intimate knowledge of the London gilds made his advice as to form of publication especially valuable.

I am also much indebted to the Lord Mayor and City Council of York for permission to use the MSS., and especially to Mr. Craven, Town Clerk, for his courtesy in facilitating my work in every way in his power.
