When Mr. Kemble published the index to his truly national code of
Anglo-Saxon Charters, he expressly stated that there were many places of
which he was in doubt, and which are indicated by Italics.
It is only by minute local knowledge that many places can be verified, and
with the view of eliciting from others the result of their investigations,
I send you my humble contribution of corrections of places known to myself.
