Excerpt from Devon Cornwall Notes Queries, Vol. 11: A Quarterly Journal Devoted to the Local History Biography and Antiquities of the Counties of Devon and Cornwall; From January 1920 to October 1921 Editorial Note. - We desire to place on record our appreciation of the work done by Mr. Maxwell Adams and Mr. Tapley Soper as our co-editors, from 1908. We have received from them at all times the greatest assistance, and we are sure the readers of the Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries realise what splendid work they have done, which has resulted in making it such a useful publication and one which compares most favourably with similar publications in other counties. John S. Amery. Edward Windeatt. I. Norman Corbels at Plympton. - A few years ago, when an old cottage at Plympton was being demolished, three Norman corbels were found, built into the wall. They were protected by being placed face inwards in the wall, so they are in very good condition. They must originally have been supporters of a corbel table. This was an arrangement to protect the walls from rain drippings. Two or three courses of stone at the top of the wall, under the eaves, were made to project, one above the other, beyond the surface of the wall; it was then easy enough to carry the roof further out, so that all drippings would fall clear of the wall. Naturally the lower course of projecting blocks required support, and this was afforded, sometimes by a row of arches, sometimes by corbels; and sometimes, as at Romsey Abbey, by both, the corbels being below the arches. Usually, but not always, the corbel is placed beneath each joint of the base-course of the table. At first Norman corbel tables were supported by square blocks; later corbels were nearly always in the form of heads.

This is the eighth edition of the classic work on the royal ancestry of certain colonists who came to America before the year 1700, and it is the first new edition to appear since 1992, reflecting the change in editorship from the late Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr. to his appointed successors William and Kaleen Beall. Like the previous editions, it embodies the very latest research in the highly specialized field of royal genealogy. As a result, out of a total of 398 ancestral lines, 91 have been extensively revised and 60 have been added, while almost all lines have had at least some minor corrections, amounting altogether to a 30 percent increase in text. Previous discoveries have now been integrated into the text and recently discovered errors have been corrected. And for the first time, thanks to the efforts of the new editors, this edition contains an every-name index, replacing the cumbersome indexes of the past. In addition to Alfred the Great, Charlemagne, Malcolm of Scotland, and Robert the Strong, descents in this work are traced from the following ancestral lines: Saxon and English monarchs, Gallic monarchs, early kings of Scotland and Ireland, kings and princes of Wales, Gallo-Romans and Alsatians, Norman and French barons, the Riparian branch of the Merovingian House, Merovingian kings of France, Isabel de Vermandois, and William de Warenne.

These diverse essays investigate political factors behind the rapid development of cartography in Renaissance Europe and its impact on emerging European nations. By 1500 a few rulers had already discovered that better knowledge of their lands would strengthen their control over them; by 1550, the cartographer's art had become an important instrument for bringing territories under the control of centralized government. Throughout the following century increasing governmental reliance on maps demanded greater accuracy and more sophisticated techniques. This volume, a detailed survey of the political uses of cartography between 1400 and 1700 in Europe, answers these questions: When did monarchs and ministers begin to perceive that maps could be useful in government? For what purposes were maps commissioned? How accurate and useful were they? How did cartographic knowledge strengthen the hand of government? By focusing on particular places and periods in early modern Europe, the chapters offer new insights into the growth of cartography as a science, the impetus behind these developments - often rulers attempting to expand their power - and the role of mapmaking in European history. The essay on Poland reveals that cartographic progress came only under the impetus of powerful rulers; another explores the French monarchy's role in the burst of scientific cartography that marked the opening of the "splendid century". Additional chapters discuss the profound influence of cartographic ideas on the English aristocracy during the sixteenth century, the relation of progress in mapmaking to imperialistic goals of the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs, and the supposed primacy of Italian mapmakingfollowing the Renaissance. Contributors to this volume are Peter Barber, David Buisseret, John Marino, Michael J. Mikos, Geoffrey Parker, and James Vann. These essays were originally presented as the Kenneth Nebenzahl, Jr., Lectures in the History of Cartography at the Newberry Library.
