Boardman, who allowed me to look at the original, and I afterwards Spent some time in study Of English maps, topograph ical dictionaries and county histories, in the effort to find a clue leading to the discovery Of this lost town. When later the time came to carry out a long-cherished plan Of travel abroad, I em braced the opportunity afforded by a stay in England, by then attempting to solve the question in which I had now become deep ly interested, with the result told in these pages.
