Although altogether unwilling to occupy with the expression of our own feelings the space which we would more gladly see filled by the communications of our Friends, we cannot resist availing ourselves of the opportunity afforded us by the commencement of a Volume to express our gratification at the approval which has attended the step of beginning A NEW SERIES, and the no less general satisfaction with which the INDEX TO THE FIRST SERIES has been received. WE are glad, too, of the opportunity which it presents to us of thanking the numerous Friends and Contributors to "NOTES AND QUERIES," for their continued and valuable assistance. Nates. SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS. At the present time, when suffragan bishops are so urgently required to assist the overtasked bishops of England, the following list, taken from my complete, but unpublished "Book of the British Hierarchy," may prove interesting. Well would it be if bishops in bad health, or incapable of efficiently administering their dioceses from their magnitude, were supplied with coadjutors. Churches eminently adapted for being episcopal sees are in every diocese: Westminster for London, Southwell for Lincoln, St. Germains for Cornwall, Bath for Bath and Wells, Bristol for Gloucester and Bristol, St. Alban's for Rochester, Beverley for York, Middleham for Ripon, Coventry for Lichfield, Bury for Norwich, St. Neot's for Ely; while it would be easy to suggest Romsey, Dorchester, Wrexham, Shoreham, Brecon, Shrewsbury, &c., for the remaining sees. By 28 Henry VIII. c. 14. the following suffragan sees were proposed to be erected: Cambridge, Hull, Berwick, St. Germains, Thetford, Ipswich, Grantham, Huntingdon. Southampton, Guildford, Leicester, Nottingham, Shrewsbury, Penrith, Molton, Bridgwater, Isle of Wight, Colchester, Leicester. The following five were suffragan sees for a time: Taunton, Shaftesbury, Marlborough, Dover, and Bedford. Gloucester, Bristol, Oxford, Peterborough, and Chester, were permanently erected. 1540-50. Westminster was a bishopric, In the xxxvth Canon of 1603, suffragans are named as ministering Holy Orders. And in King Charles II.'s Declaration from Breda, he stated his intention to found suffragans in every diocese. Formerly suffragans were consecrated to serve in the absence of the diocesans on embassies, at court, or attendance on civil affairs. Sometimes they had no titles: they consecrated and recon ciled churches, administered orders and confirmation. It appears from Strype, that in the Primate's Hall, they occupied an inferior place at table. An Act of Parliament was passed for consecrating coadjutors in Ireland, 1812, 52 Geo. III. c. 62.
