Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tenth Report of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts May it please Your Majesty, We, Your Majesty's Commissioners appointed by Your Royal Commission to inquire what papers and manuscripts belonging to private families would be useful in illustrating Constitutional Law, Science, and the General History of this country, and to which their respective possessors would be willing to give access, respectfully beg leave to submit this our Tenth Report to Your Majesty. The death of Lord Houghton has caused a vacancy among Your Commissioners which it will be difficult to fill. His many services to historical and general literature are too well known to require special mention in this Report. The ordinary work of inspection since the publication of our Ninth Report has been carried on by Mr. J. C. Jeaffreson, Mr W. O. Hewlett, Mr. H. C. Maxwell Lyte, Mr. H. B. Tomkins, the Rev. J. A. Bennett, and the Rev. Joseph Stevenson for England; by Dr. Fraser for Scotland; and by Mr. Gilbert for Ireland. Mr. E. F. Taylor and Mr. F. Skene have continued their work on the manuscripts of the House of Lords. To Mr. Walter Rye Your Commissioners are under obligations for an account of the valuable Gawdy MSS. in his possession; and Mr. R. N. Worth has contributed a supplementary report on the Records of Plymouth Corporation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
