Preliminary paragraphs

Method

In plan these volumes closely resemble the volumes published in 1964 and 1970. They are not concerned with the legislative programme of the Parliaments of the period, nor does the House of Lords come within their terms of reference. The work is, in the main, a biographical dictionary of Members of the House of Commons from 1558 to 1603. All men known to have been returned have been included, whether or not there is evidence to show that they attended or did not attend.
