page xxiii note * The names of the commanders and knights in the army of Edward the Third, at the time of his winning of Calais, with the amount of their respective retinues, and their armorial bearings, form the second part of the volume entitled, “Nomina et Insignia Grentilitia Nobilium Equitumque sub Edwardo primo rege militantium. Accedunt classes exercitus Edwardi tertii regis Caletem obsidentis. Edidit Edwardus Rowe Mores, 1748.” The same roll occurs in manuscript in MS. Harl. 246, MS. Harl. 782, and MS. Cotton. Titus, F. III. p. 262.

In the Gentleman's Magazine for Oct. 1837, is “A brief memoir of the Campaigns of Edward the Third, in the years 1345, 1346, and 1347, ending with the surrender of Calais ; with a Defence or Apology of Edward, as to his conduct to Eustace de St. Pierre and the other Burgesses on the Surrender of that Fortress:” by Christopher Godmond, Esq. the author of a drama entitled “The Campaign of 1346,” 8vo. 1836.

page xxiv note ‡ There are two French works on the history of the town, viz. “Les Annales de la Ville de Calais et du pays reconquis, par P. Bernard. Saint Omer, 1715,” 4to. ; and “Histoire de la Ville de Calais et du Calaisis, par le Febvre. Paris, 1768.” 2 vols. 4to. ;— neither of which, strange to say, has the Editor been able to find in the public libraries of London. The extent of the disadvantages under which he may thus labour in writing these preliminary observations he is of course unable to estimate ; but it is most probable that little, if any, of the subsequent contents of this volume have been anticipated. The works of Bernard and Le Febvre are not mentioned in M. Legros-Devot's recent report on the historical records of the town (hereafter noticed).

The lithograph is of the scale of the original, which comprises, however, a more extended view, reaching from Ow church and castle to Newnhambridge. A reduced copy of the same view was engraved in 1827, for Sir Henry Ellis's Original Letters, and has been since republished in the volume entitled “Chronicles of the White Rose.”

page xxvii note * The discovery, in 1840, of some .paintings in St. Mary's church, which were accompanied by an inscription commemorative of Thomas Wodehouse, and various shields of arms (different from those borne by the present Wodehouse family), will be found noticed in the Gentleman's Magazine, N. S. vol. xx. p. 77.

page xxviii note ∥ See the extract in p. 197, from the Proceedings, “Mr. Steven,” who was in 1542 master of the works at Carlisle. There is, in the same collection, No. 57 b, another “Platt of the Lowe country at Calais,” made in 37 Hen. VIII. “by me Thomas Pettyt,” as marked on its back. No. 75 is a map roughly drawn of all the country of Guynes and Bolenois. No. 69 is a map of the fields near Guisnes.

In “Les Plans et Profiles de toutes les principales Villes de France, par le Sieur Tassin,” an oblong quarto, 1638, are—1. Carte particuliere des environs de Calais ; 2. A plan of Calais ; 3. A view of Calais ; 4. A plan of Le fort de Nieulet (Newnhambridge).

A view of Calais, drawn by Johan Peeters, is in the “Topographia Galliae, Francof. 1656,” vol. ii. and also a plan of the town.

page xxix note * The name Newnhambridge seems to have been an alteration from Newlandbridge, under which title it occurs in lord Berners' translation of Froissart, and in Holinshed, reign of Edward III. ; and the latter was apparently corrupted from Nieullet, which is the orthography of Mr. Johnes's Froissart, and of most of the French writers, ancient and modern: in a map by L. Denis, 1776, it is “Fort Nieulay.” In the old edition of Froissart, Paris, 1530, it is printed “le pont de Millaij,” a form evidently partaking of clerical error.
