PREFACE. IN completing the Second Volume of this Work, nothing remains for the Author beyond the repetition of his acknowledgments for the support he continues daily to receive from every part of the kingdom, -support the more acceptable and the more gracious, because coming, in many instances, without solicitation-in all, without reserve and without distrust. The aid of the ablest and most celebrated writers in his own peculiar walk of literature has been freely proffered him ; and collections, acquired by vast expense, and vaster labour, have been gratuitously opened to his investigation. Thus sustained, arduous though the task he has undertaken may appear to be, and arduous though it really is, he can have little apprehension now as to the result: the difficulties, which at first seemed almost insurmountable, are entirely removed, and the road before him, although yet a rugged one, presents no impediment which perseverance and industry may not be found sufficient to overcome. In the first volume, the Author was anxious to name the eminent persons to whom he stood so deeply indebted, individually; but the list was even then so extensive, that he was obliged to abandon the intention, and to content himself with a general acknowledgment of obligation. He is now placed in a similar situation; nay, the cata logue has become so much enlarged as to preclude the possibility of enumeration. He must not, however, omit particularizing his highly gifted and accomplished friend James Roche, Esq. of Cork, to whom he is indebted for the most important literary assistance, and the most valuable information: nor should he forget especially naming that able genealogist, Mr. Joseph Morris, of Shrewsbury, who has furnished materials, admirably digested, for some of the most elaborate pedigrees in this volume. In returning thanks to his esteemed correspondent, Mr. Allan, of Durham, in the first volume, that gentleman is called William Henry Allan, Esq. instead of Robert Henry Allan, Esq. which inaccuracy the Author begs now to apologize for, and to correct.

In February, 1424, Thomas de Strykeland, late bearer of the banner of St. George, petitioned King HENRY V. to consider the service he had rendered to the state in parts beyond the seas, from the time of his arrival at Harfleur and the battle of Azincourt, and since to the time when Rouen was taken.
