Self-love may be the centre round which the human affections move; for whatever motive conduces to self-gratification may be resolved into self-love; yet some of these affections are in their nature so refined, that though we cannot deny their origin, they almost deserve the name of virtue. Of this species was that of Adeline. , In this employment, and in reading, Adeline passed as much of the day as possible. From books, indeed, she had constantly derived her chief information and amusement: those belonging to LaMotte were few, but well chosen; and Adeline could find pleasure in reading them more than once.

For this area see sub West Somerton, p. 166, supra. Item Johannes att hoo inclusit xxvj acras infra tempus commissionis and tempore inclausure fuerunt in cultura. This area constantly occurs, and in Ketelston it is explicitly stated to be a dimidium aratrum; see p. 216, infra. The manor of Brisley belonged to the see of Norwich (Blomef. ix. 468). P. 5. --Gatelee. (In Blomefield, Gateley. Now Gately. ) Item Rogerus Martyn gentylman inclusit de nouo xxiiij01e acras in Gatele infra tempus commissionis and tempore inclausure fuerunt in cultura. On the phrase de nouo see sub North Elynham, p. 172, supra. Twenty-four acres would be a bovate of a two-field manor of 16b acres by the great hundred, i. e. 192 acres.

Idem Ricardus firmarius domini ibidem habet and occupat xxxta acras terre in Gatelee que fuerunt in cultura per septem annos tunc preteritos. The significance of the addition per septem annos tunc preteritos is not quite apparent. It possibly refers to the three-field course and is intended to convey that though lying fallow at the time of inclosure it had been arable in the regular rotation, so that per means in the course of, and marks the furthest retrospective limit of time within which the inclosure must have taken place. The Act of 1515 provided that land turned to pasture since the. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
