“A wider circle than that of his personal friends may be glad to know that not all the labours of which the series of articles in the Annual of the British School at Athens were the first fruits, have perished. Under present conditions it is possible that there may be some delay in publication, and there is a considerable bulk of MS. material which demands a thorough survey. But it is already evident that among his papers there is much work which is practically finished, and the whole is in the competent hands of Mrs. Hasluck, who, in accordance with his expressed wishes, will be helped in the work of preparing it for the press by a few intimate friends interested in particular sides of Hasluck’s wide range of studies.”
Miss Mabel Peacock, daughter of Edward and Lucy Peacock of Bottesford Manor, Brigg, Lincolnshire, and later of Kirton-in-Lindsey, published the following works: An Index of Royalists whose estates were confiscated during the Commonwealth. 1879; Tales and Rhymes in the Lindsey Folk-speech, 1886, written conjointly with her brother Max, but published in his sister’s name ; Tales fra Linkishire, 1889. She also edited a reprint of Bunyan’s Holy War and Heavenly Footman, 1892, with full introduction and notes; Lincolnshire Tales, 1897; Lincolnshire Rhymes, 1907. Finally, in conjunction with Mrs. Gutch, Lincolnshire County Folklore, 1908. She was for very many years a contributor to Folk-Lore, and has left a large collection of notes and some chapters of another book on Lincolnshire customs and folklore which she had hoped to finish during the coming winter.
A keen naturalist and county lover, with a lively play of humour, Miss Peacock will be greatly missed by a large number of friends.
