Excerpt from Thatcham, Berks and Its Manors, Vol. 1 Further it so happens that I took with me, on the occasion of what turned out to be the last interview, a few notes which I proposed to add to the early chapters, and of these additions he approved, but I have availed myself to a very slight degree of what I may call an implied permission; and when the addition has exceeded a few words I have placed it within brackets. But in coming to a decision on the omission of para graphs or extracts I have been often in great difficulty; the principle I have gone upon has been to imagine what the author would have said if he had been with me. In several cases I have felt that certain matter was more or less repetition, but it was often difficult to omit the same without obscuring what went before or followed after. In any special case of doubt, however, I have had the benefit of Mr. Child's kind advice. I should add that for the correction of such of the documents as are in the Public Record Office, set out or quoted in the Appendices, Mr. Edward Salisbury of that Office is kindly responsible.
