Sussex Archceological Collections. Vol. XXXVI. (H. Wolff, Lewes.)
— This volume, like all the foregoing volumes that we have seen, contains much interesting matter. We have a paper, for instance, on the watch and relics of King Charles I. that are kept at Ashburn- ham Place. The history of these things is curious. We may also mention some notable particulars about ecclesiastical affairs in the time of the Commonwealth. Whatever wrongs the authorities did, they had a peremptory way of setting right inequalities of clerical income. The "Memoranda from the Account-Book of Thomas Nepiker " are also interesting. Thomas Nepikor (a very singular name) was Rector of Bepton, near Midhurst, from 1667 to 1706, and he left a number of memoranda about personal and parochial matters. We wish that there were an archteological society in every county.
