4.9/5 (14392 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Adams's Chronicle of Bristol The Rev. Samuel Seyer, who in 1821 wrote an excellent History of Bristol and its Neighbourhood, states in his Preface that it is well known there existed in Bristol a number of MS. Calendars or Chronicles, containing a list of the magistrates of each year, and an account of such events as happened under them. These documents are not peculiar to Bristol; they are found in London, Coventry, Oxford, and no doubt in most other ancient towns. Seyer says: - "Far the best which I have met with is one written by William Adams as far as A.D. 1639, in the possession of Charles Joseph Harford, Esq., and it contains much general English History." In the XIXth Century Adams's Chronicle of Bristol passed into the hands of the late Rev. Frederick K. Harford, a Minor Canon of Westminster; and on the dispersion of his library in 1907 the MS. came into my possession. My apology, if one were needed, for publishing Adams's Chronicle of Bristol is the fact that I am much interested in any literary matter which has reference to the history of our ancient city. Miss E. Salisbury, of the Record Office in London, has transcribed it for me, and I am glad to thank her for her care and trouble. She desires me to state that the old spelling has been retained in the proper names only, the remainder of the text being modernised.
