(As the work of the Survey nears completion, its officers have little time to spare for tasks other than those that are necessary to bring this pioneering project to a conclusion. We are, therefore, indebted to Dr. Bernard Crick, Assistant-Director of the Survey, now in the throes of the last round-up, for the following letter from the field. We notice that Dr. Crick has strayed a little outside his province in his admonitions to some historians. But as he and his assistants have had a unique opportunity of examining local historical sources in this country, his opinion deserves a hearing, and we hope that his advice to historians whoso footsteps are led almost magnetically to Chancery Lane will not pass unnoticed.)
