Text Publication Society
A text publication society is a learned society which publishes (either as its sole function, or as a principal function) scholarly editions of old works of historical or literary interest, or archival documents. In addition to full texts, a text publication society may publish translations, calendars and indexes. Members of the society (private individuals or institutions) pay an annual subscription, in return for which they either automatically receive a copy of each volume as it is published, or (as in the case of, for example, the Royal Historical Society) are eligible to purchase volumes at favourable members' rates. Some societies attempt to keep to a regular cycle of publishing (generally one volume per year, as in the case of the London Record Society and the Canterbury and York Society; the Royal Historical Society, exceptionally, aims for two volumes per year). Others, however, publish on an irregular and occasional basis, as the completion of editorial work allows. Volume ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Of Buckinghamshire
Although the name Buckinghamshire is Anglo Saxon in origin meaning ''The district (scire) of Bucca's home'' (referring to Buckingham in the north of the county) the name has only been recorded since about the 12th century. The historic county itself has been in existence since it was a subdivision of the kingdom of Wessex in the 10th century. It was formed out of about 200 communities that could between them fund a castle in Buckingham, to defend against invading Danes. Human settlement in pre-history Some of the places in Buckinghamshire date back much further than the Anglo-Saxon period.

There are a wealth of places that still have their Brythonic names ( Penn, Wendover), or a compound of Brythonic and Anglo Saxon ( Brill, Chetwode, Great Brickhill) and there are pre-Roman earthworks all over the county ...
