The author's name does not occur: this is a transcript, with good indexes, a list of sheriffs to 1649, etc.
The Survey is in five books: General, East (two books), North, and South divisions, and was originally composed in about 1633, see fol. 23; there is some family history, including an account of the earls of Devonshire (fol. 70b). This View of Devonshire was printed at Exeter in 1845.
