Excerpt from The Coventry Leet Book, or Mayor's Register, Vol. 1: Containing the Records of the City Court Leet, or View of Frankpledge, A. D. 1420-1555, With Divers Other Matters
The value of the Leet Book from the social historian's point of view will be treated of in the Introduction in a subsequent part. Members of the E. E. T. S. May feel equally interested in the volume from the philological standpoint, as illustrating the Warwickshire dialect in the century before Shakespeare's birth.
One example of this, and I have done. In Coriolanus, II. I. 226.
