G. J piccope (a. Few having been copied by his father the Rev. J piccope), and with one exception, they occur in volumes 8 and 9 of the Piccope mss., now in the Chetham Library, Manchester. They were omitted, probably from want of room, from the three volumes of Wills and Inventories, edited by the Rev. G. J Piccope, and printed for this Society in 1857, 1860 and 1861. There are many very interesting wills among them, and several full and curious inventories. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
