PREFACE

IN preparing this book much use has been made of the Proceedingsof the Devonshire Association and of the first volume of the VictoriaHistory of Devon. The authors also desire to take this opportunity ofrecording their grateful thanks to Her Gracious Majesty Queen Alexandrafor her kindness in providing one of the most interesting illustrationsin the volume—the beautiful photograph of the Armada trophy preservedamong the Royal plate in Windsor Castle, taken for the purpose of thisvolume by her command.
