Excerpt from Tenures of Land: Customs of Manors; Originally Collected by Thomas Blount and Republished With Large Additions and Improvements in 1784 and 1815

A certain amount of revision has also been extended to the names of places and persons, but it was considered that in some degree the obsolete forms of these might have their archeological value. In other cases they have, no doubt, been ignorantly or carelessly corrupted but it was not always practicable to rectify this defect, especially where extinct proper names, obscure localities, or mere manors which are no longer capable of identification, were concerned.

The arrangement and correction of the glossarial matter has amounted, in the long run, to a new writing of the better part; so many repetitions, mistakes, and contradictions presented themselves in preparing this portion of the work for the press, and so many places occurred in which the note, as it stood, was unintelligibly confused.
