'A collection of the antiquities, privileges, customs, etc., of the manor and borough of New Woodstock in the county of Oxford'
'A collection of the antiquities, privileges, customs, etc., of the manor and borough of New Woodstock in the county of Oxford', (or 'Hints for a history of Woodstock') from the earliest times to about 1770. This is a popular uncritical account of Woodstock, perhaps written for a guide-book: hardly any documents are quoted.
