Excerpt from The Civil Divisions of the County of Dorset, Methodically Digested and Arranged, Comprizing Lists of the Civil Ministerial Officers, Magistrates, and Subordinate Officers: With a Complete Nomina Villarum, in Four Parts; A List of the County and Other Bridges; Together With the Annual Value of Real Property; Amount of the Land-Tax; Of the Poor's-Rate, and County Rate
IN presenting to the Public, at the Solicitations of many of the Magistrates and others, a New Edition of The Civil Division of the County of Dorset, the Editor begs to state, that in conse quence of the many Alterations which have taken place since the Publication of the first Edition, it became necessary for the whole to be re-written, which has been done, and other Matters introduced through out. The same method has however been pursued in the present, as in the former Edition and in order to render the Work more generally useful and easy to be consulted, in addition to the Indexes, he has prefixed a Table of the Contents. It would be superfluous for the Editor to enlarge upon the pro bable Advantages of a Work of this kind as a Book of reference; but he may be pennitted to hope that it will be found useful, not only to the Magistrates, whose attention to the good of the Community requires that they should have all the Information and Assist ance which can be afl'orded them, but also to every Public Oficer, Parish Oficer, Land Owner, and principal Inhabitant of the County.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the diverse administrative civil offices and magistrates in the county of Dorset, England, beginning with their introduction by the Saxons and up until the 19th century. The author focuses on the historical context and changing roles of key official figures, including the custos rotulorum, sheriff, county clerk, and more. The text is organized by the nine divisions of Dorset, which were established in 1830 to replace the old hundredal system, and provides a detailed accounting of the hundreds, liberties, and boroughs within each division. For each parish, chapel, and place, the author lists the officers responsible for maintaining order and collecting taxes. The book draws heavily on information gleaned from Quarter Session records, and includes extracts of particular rules and orders made at these sessions from 1664 onwards.
