"Wood says (_Ath. Ox._, vol. i. p. 448.) that Trussell the historian, who was alderman of Winchester, continued to Bishop Curll's time, 1632, an old MS. history of the see and bishops in the Cathedral library. He also wrote _A Description of the City of Winchester; with an Historical Relation of divers memorable Occurrences touching the same_, and prefixed to it _A Preamble of the Original of Cities in general_. In a catalogue of the famous Robert Smith's books, sold by auction, 1682, No. 24. among the MSS. has this identical title, by J. Trussell, fol., and was purchased for twelve shillings by a Mr. Rothwell, a frequent purchaser at this sale. The _Description_, &c., written by Trussell about 1620, is now in the hands of John Duthy, Esq.; and from it large extracts were made in _The History and Antiquities of Winchester_, 1773. Bishop Nicolson guesses that it was too voluminous, and Bishop Kennett that it was too imperfect to be published. "The former mentions something on the same subject by Dr. Bettes, whose book is still in MS. "Dr. Butler, of St. Edmund's Bury, made observations on the ancient monuments of this city under the Romans." E. G. BALLARD.

I subjoin the following account from the _Chronicle_:
