WHERE ARE THE WILLS TO BE DEPOSITED?
The difficulties thrown in the way of all literary and historical
inquiries, by the peculiar constitution of the Prerogative Office, Doctors'
Commons, have long been a subject of just complaint. An attempt was made by
THE CAMDEN SOCIETY, in 1848, to procure their removal, by a Memorial
addressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, which we now print, because it
sets forth, plainly and distinctly, the nature and extent of those
difficulties.
"To the Most Rev. and the Right Hon. The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury.
"The humble Memorial of the President and Council of the Camden
Society, respectfully showeth,
"That the Camden Society was instituted in the year 1838, for the
publication of early historical and literary remains.
"It has the honour to be patronised by H.R.H. the Prince Albert; and
has supported, from its institution, by the countenance and
subscription of your Grace's predecessor in the See of Canterbury.
"The Society has published forty volumes of works relating to English
History, and continues to be actively engaged in researches connected
with the same important branch of literature.
