Antiquary's Books series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Antiquary's Books series was edited by John Charles Cox, and published in London by Methuen & Co. It comprised some 28 titles.[1][2] In relation to British parish history, it has been said that

"[...] several of Cox's series (1904–15) of Antiquary's Books retained their value, notably his own contributions on parish registers and churchwarden's accounts and Nathaniel Hone on manorial records.[3]
