Excerpt from The Honor and Forest of Pickering This, the fourth volume of the North Riding Record Society, marks the close of the New Series. That common disease of all like Societies, alack of new members, has brought about the end. Had it not been for the generosity of those members who paid their subscriptions during the years when no volumes were issued the Society could not have gone on so long; as it is, it is some satisfaction to think that the whole of the Pickering Eyre is now in print, as well as a considerable number of other original documents which will assist in forming a conception of the administration of a north country Forest. The material in the Record Office relating to Pickering is by no means exhausted had another volume b'een possible, it was proposed to supplement the first volume by printing for the most part documents relating to the Tudor period; but unless the official Indexes which may hereafter be pub lished bring something more to light, the records of Pickering in the fourteenth century are almost entirely in print. So far as our Society is concerned, it is proposed to amalgamate it with the Yorkshire Archaeological Record Society, and it is hoped that those of our subscribers who are not already members of that body will become such.
