Collections relating to Abingdon by John Stevenson: The writer has collected a good deal of material, but makes very uncritical use of it:

  2. Fol. 86. Biographical notices of persons connected with Abingdon, among which are Clement Barksdale (fol. 97) and dr. Peter Heylin (fol. 147), but the notices are of small independent value
