Synopsis

Excerpt from Index to the Additional Manuscripts, With Those of the Egerton Collection: Preserved in the British Museum, and Acquired in the Years 1783-1835

In addition to the manuscripts numbered from 5018 to inclusive, the present Index embraces also the Egerton Manuscripts, from N o. 1. To No. 606. (acquired partly by the bequest of the Earl of Bridgewater, in 1829, and since augmented out of the fund left for that purpose) as likewise the large collection of original Briefs for collecting alms, from the year 1754, 28 Geo. II., to their abolition in 1828, 8 Geo. IV., presented to the Museum by John Stevenson Salt, Esq., in 1829.

In regard to the Additional Charters, such only are indexed as are noticed in the printed Lists of Additions for 1831 - 1835; but it may be observed, that a separate detailed Cata logue exists of them in manuscript, from No. 1. To No. 1249, with indexes of persons and places; and this is the case also with the Egerton Charters, and with the Charters forming part of the Wolley collections.

It must further he remarked, that in the present Index, all manuscripts in the Oriental languages, with the exception of the Hebrew, are omitted; and this has been done advisedly, on account of the very detailed and accurate Catalogues of the Syriac, Arabic, Persian, Ethiopic, and other classes of manuscripts, which have either already been printed, or are now in pro gress, with full indexes to each class.
