Excerpt from The Western Antiquary, Vol. 11: Or, Devon and Cornwall Note-Book Introduction to this volume), than in considering any words of apology or explanation that I may have to offer. Various circumstances have combined, during the past twelve months, to frustrate my good intentions as to the more regular and punctual delivery of the various numbers of this Journal; and unfortunately for my Subscribers as well as for myself, the number of my helpers has sadly diminished. Death, removal, and pressure of other matters upon their time and attention, have thinned the ranks of those who supported me in the early years of the career of the Western Antiquary, and I regret to own, the gaps have not been adequately filled by the proffered services of others. I have thus been heavily handicapped in my efforts, and have experienced a difficulty at times in finding sufficient material, of the right kind, to fill up the various numbers. These and other circumstances, have convinced me that the time has come for a te-arrangement of my plans, and to some extent of a re-modelling of the Journal itself; for I am loth to believe that the necessity for such a repository of old-world lore has ceased to exist, knowing as I do what wealth of material there is in the district: and being firmly persuaded in my own mind that no. Part of England is richer in traditional lore, than the Western Counties. Let me then, first of all, solicit more help, to enable me to make the Western Antiquary, what it ought to be, the most valuable and most authoritative repository of West Country matters. Let me urge upon my many patient and very indulgent subscribers, that they can assist me still further by now and then contributing to the pages, as well as by inducing others to become Subscribers and Contributors to the journal. Let it not be said that a district so extensive and varied, a district so full of historical associations and traditionary lore is unable to support a journal such'as the Western Antiquary aims to be. More subscribers, and a larger body of active helpers would enable me to remedy all defects, and would give me an incentive to renewed exertion, which I must confess, I have lacked of late for obvious reasons.
