Book excerpt: Excerpt from Calendar of the Records of the Corporation of Gloucester The records calendared in the following pages are now safely deposited in the strong room of the new Guild Hall at Gloucester. The greater por tion of this calendar consists of abstracts of the early deeds, which form a very important section of the Corporation Records. The city records must have suffered great loss at some time, for, apart from these deeds, few of the early records are preserved, and of these the royal charters constitute a considerable part. The rolls of the borough court have entirely perished, their exist ence being recorded solely by the endorsements of some of the deeds witnessing their enrolment in the court rolls of Gloucester.' A minute of the Common Council of 1619 informs us that the rolls had disappeared before that date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
