THE CHRONICLES AND MEMORIALS
OF
GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND
DURING THE MIDDLE AGES.
I-UIJLISHED BY THE ADTHORITy OF lllill DJAJESTy'S TRKASL'UY, UNOEU
THK DIRECTION OF THE MAbTElI OF THE ROLLS.
On the 26th of January 1857, the Master ol' the 11 oils
submitted to the Treasury a proposal for the puhlicatioii
of materials for the History of this Country from the
Invasion of the Homans to the reign of Henry Ylll.
The Master of the Holls suggested that these materials
should be selected for publication under competent
editors without reference to periodical or chronological
arrangement, without mutilation or abridgment, prefer-
ence being given, in the first instance, to such materials
as were most scarce and valuable.
He proposed that each chronicle or historical docu-
ment to be edited should be treated in the same way as
if the editor were engaged on an Editio Princeps ; and
for this purpose the most correct text should be formed
from an accurate collation of the best MSS.
To render the work more generally useful, the Master
of the Eolls suggested that the editor should give an
account of the MSS. employed by him, of their age and
their peculiarities ; that he should add to the work a
brief account of the life and times of the author, and
any remarks necessary to explain the chronology; but
no other note or comment was to be allowed, except
what might be necessary to establish the correctness of
the text.

4
Tiiu works to be -published in octavo, separately, as
they were tinislied ; the whole responsibility of the task
resting upon the editors, Avho were to be chosen by the
Master of the Rolls with the sanction of the Treasury.
The Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury, after a careful
consideration of the subject, expressed their opinion in a
Treasury Minute, dated February 9, 1857, that the plan
recommended by the Master of the Rolls "was well
calculated for the accomi^lishment of this important
national object, in an effectual and satisfactory manner,
within a reasonable time, and provided proper attention be
paid to economy, in making the detailed arrangements,
without unnecessary expense."
They expressed their approbation of the proposal that
each Chronicle and historical document should be edited
in such a manner as to represent with all possible correct-
ness the text of each writer, derived from a collation of
the best MSS., and that no notes should be added, except
su<;h as weri) illustrative of the various readings. They
suf^"'csted, however, that the preface to each work shouhi
contain, in addition to the j)artiGulars proposed by the
Master of th(; lloUs, a biographical account of the author,
so far as authentic materials existed for that purpose,
and an estimate of his historical credibility and value.

is the reading of the Cottonian and
Ilarleian MSS. ; the others have, ' hit
' nadde,' 'he hadde,' and 'hit had.'
Similarly in the same story of Merliii
the earlier version of La^amou has ' \>c
najuere fieder no iba;d,' while the latter
reads ' J)at neuere fader nadde.' On the
other hand, in Lajamou, 3609, where
the earlier version reads, ' wel is him ]>e

GLOSSARY.
Bod — cont.
hit habbe mot,' well is it with him that
may have it, the later has, ' ^Yel his him
K' hit bide mot.' Similarly, 1. 19326,
the earlier version has 'no biden )e
nauere,' where the latter reads ' ne solle
jeo neuere habbe.' It appears that
'biden,' which originally signifies 'to
endure, suffer,' comes to mean ' to ex-
perience, have experience of,' and so to
be almost equivalent to ' to have.'

the root still exists in the mining term

CALE.^fDARS OF STATE PAPERS, &•,
[Imperial 8vo., cloth. Price \5s. each Vohime or Part.]
As far back as the year 1800, a Committee of the House of Commons recom.
mended that Indexes and Calendars should be made to the Public Records, and
thirty-six years afterwards another Committee of the House of Commons reite-
rated that recommendation in more forcible words ; but it was not until the
incorporation of the State Paper Office with the Public Record Office that the
Master of the Rolls found himself in a position to take the necessary steps for
carrying out the wishes of the House of Commons.
On 7 December 1855, he stated to tJie Lords of the Treasury that althouo-h
" the Records, State Papers, and Documents in his charge constitute the most
" complete and perfect series of their kind in the civilized world," and althono-h
" they are of the greatest value in a historical and constitutional point of view
" yet they are comparatively useless to the public, from the want of proper
" Calendars and Indexes." Acting upon the recommendations of the Com-
mittees of the House of Commons above referred to, he suggested to the Lords
of the Treasury that to effect the object he had in view it would be necessaiy for
him to employ a few Persons fully qualified to perform the work which he con-
templated.
Their Lordships assented to the necessity of having Calendars prejDared and
printed, and empowered the Master of the Rolls to take such steps as miglit be
necessary for this purpose.
The following Works have been already published under the direction of the
Master of the Rolls : —

THE CHRONICLES AND MEMOKIALS OE GREAT ERITAIN
AND IRELAND DURING THE MIDDLE AGES.
[RoTAL 8vo. half-bound. Price \0s. each Volume or Part.]
Oa 25 July 1822, tlie House of Commons presented an address to the Crown,
stating that the editions of the works of our ancient historians were inconvenient
and defective ; that many of their wi'itings still remained in manuscript, and, in
some cases, in a single copy only. They added, " that an uniform and con-
venient edition of the whole, published under His Majesty's royal sanction,
would be an undertaking honourable to His Majesty's reign, and conducive to
the advancement of historical and constitutional knowledge ; that the House
therefore humbly besought His Majesty, that He would be graciously pleased
to give such directions as His Majesty, in His wisdom, might think fit, for
the publication of a complete edition of the ancient historians of this realm,
and assui'ed His Majesty that whatever expense might be necessary for this
purpose would be made good."
The Master of the Eolls, being very desirous that effect should be given to the
resolution of the House of Commons, submitted to Her Majesty's Treasury in
1857 a plan for the publication of the ancient chronicles and memorials of the
United Kingdom, and it was adopted accordingly. In selecting these works, it
was considered right, in the first instance, to give preference to those of which
the manuscripts were unique, or the materials of which would help to fill up
blanks in English history for which no satisfactory and authentic information
hitherto existed in any accessible form. One great object the Master of the Eolls
had in view was to form a corpus Jiistoricum within reasonable limits, and which
should be as complete as possible. In a subject of so vast a range, it was im-
portant that the historical student should be able to select such volumes as
conformed with his own peculiar tastes and studies, and not be put to the expense
of purchasing the whole collection ; an inconvenience inseparable from any other
plan than that which has been in this instance adopted.
Of the Chronicles and Memorials, the following volumes have been published.
They embrace the period from the earliest time of British history down to the
end of the reign of Henry YIL
The Chronicle of England, by John Cafgeave. Edited by the Kev. F. C.
HiKGESTON, M.A., of Exeter College, Oxfoi^d. 1858.
Capjjrave was prior of Lynn, in Norfolk, and provincial of the order of the
Friars Hermits of England shortly before the year 1464. His Chronicle extends
from the creation of the world to the year 1417. As a record of the language
spoken in Norfolk (being written in English), it is of considerable value.
Chuonicon Monasteeii de Abingdon. Vols. I. and II. Edited ly the Eev.
Joseph Stevenson, M.A., of University College, Durham, and Vicar of
Leighton Buzzard. 1858.
This Chronicle traces the history of the great Benedictine monastery of
Abingdon in Berkshire, from its foundation b.y King Ina of Wessex, to the
reign of J{ichard I., shortly after which period the present narrative was drawn
up by an inmate of the establishment. The author had access to the title-deeds
of the house; and incorporates into his history various charters of the Saxon
kings, of great importance as illusti-ating not onl}' the history of the locality
but that of the kingdom. The work is printed for the first time.

3. Lives of Edward the Confessoe. I. — La Estoire de Seint Aedward le Eei
11. — Vita Beati Edvardi Regis et Confessoris. III. — Yita .^duuardi
Regis qui apud Westmonasterium requiescit. Edited hy Henky Richards
LuARD, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge.
1858.
The first is a poem in Normau French, containing 4,686 lines, addressed to
Alianor, Queen of Henry III., probabl}' written in 1245, on the restoration of
the church of Westminster. Nothing is known of the author. The second is
an anonj'mous poem, containing .'i36 lines, written between 1440 and 1450, by
command of Henry VI., to whom it is dedicated. It does not throw any
new light on the reign of Edward the Confessor, but is valuable as a specimen
of the Latin poetry of the time. The third, also by an anonymous author, was
apparently written for Queen Edith, between 1066 and 1074, during the pressure
of the suffering brought on the Saxons by the Norman conquest. It notices
many facts not found in other writers, and some which differ considerably from
the usual accounts.
4. MoNUMENTA Franciscana. Vol. I. — Thonias de Eccleston de Adventu
Fratrum Minorum in Angliam. Adas de Marisco Epistolte. Registrum
Fratrum Minorum Londoniae. Edited hy J. S. Brewer, M.A., Professor of
English Literature, King's College, Loudon. Vol. II. — De Adventu
Minorum ; re-edited, with additions. Chronicle of the Grey Friars. The
ancientEnglish version of the Rule of St. Francis. Abbreviatio Statutorum,
1451, &c. Edited hy Ricuard Howlett, Esq., of the Middle Temple,
Barrister-at-Law. 1858, 1882.
The first volume contains original materials for the history of the settlement
of the order of Saint Francis in England, the letters of Adam de Marisco, and
other papers connected with the foundation and diffusion of this great body. It
was the aim of the editor to collect whatever historical information could be
found in this country, towards illustrating a period of the national history for
which only scanty materials exist. None of these have been before printed.
The second volume contains materials found, since the first volume was
published, among the MSS. of S'r Charles Isham, and in various libraries.
5. Fasciculi Zizaniorum Magistri Jouannis Wyclif cum Tritico. Ascribed
to Thomas Netter, of Walden, Provincial of the Carmelite Order in
England, and Confessor to King Henry the Fifth. Edited hy the Rev. W.
W. Shirley, M.A., Tutor and late Fellow of WadLam College, Oxford.
1858.
This work derives its principal value from being the onlj* contemporaneous"
account of the rise of the Lollards. When written, the disputes of the school-
men had been extended to the field of theology, and they appear both in the
writings of Wycliif and in those of his adversaries. Wycliff's little bundles
cf tares are not les.s metaphysical than theological, and the conflict betweea
Nominalists and Realists rages side by side with the conflict between the different
interpreters of Scripture. The work gives a good idea of the controversies at
the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th centuries.
6. The Buik of the Croniclis of Scotland ; or, A Metrical Version of the
History of Hector Boece ; by William Stewart. Vols. I., II., and
III. Edited hyW. B. Turnbull, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at-Law,
1858.
This is a metrical translation of a Latin Prose Chronicle, written in the first
half of the 16th century. The narrative begins with the earliest legends arid
ends with the death of James I. of Scotland, and the " evil ending of the
traitors that slew him." Strict accuracy of statement is not to be looked for;
but the stories of the colonization of Spain, Ireland, and Scotland are interestiut
if not true ; and the chronicle reflects the manners, sentiments, and character
of the age in which it was composed. The pecuHarities of the Scottish dialect
are well illustrated in this version, and the student of language will find ampve
materials for comparison with the English dialects of the same period, and with
modern lowland Scotch.

7. JoHANNis Cabgkave Libee de Iljlustkibus Henricis. Edited by tlie Rev. F. C.
HiNGESTON, M.A., of Exeter College, Oxford. 1858.
This work is dedicated to Henry YI. of England, who appears to have been, in
the author's estimation, the greatest of all the Henries. It is divided into three
parts, each having a separate dedication. The first part relates only to the history
of the Empire, from the election of Henry I., the Fowler, to the end of the
reign of the Emperor Henry VI. The second part is devoted to English
history, from the accession of Henry I. in 1100, to 1446, which was the twenty-
fourth year of the reign of Henry VI. The third part contains the lives of
illustrious men who have borne the name of Henry in various parts of the world.
Capgrave was borne in 1393, in the reign of Richard II., and lived during the
Wars of the Roses, for which period his work is of some value.
8. HiSTOKIA MONASTEKII S. AUGUSTINI CaNTUARIENSIS, by ThOMAS OF ElMHAM,
formerly Monk and Treasurer of that Foundation. Edited by Charles Hard-
wick, M.A., Fellow of St. Catharine's Hall, and Christian Adrocate in the
University of Cambridge. 1858.
This history extends from the arrival of St. Augustine in Kent until 1191.
Prefixed is a chronology as far as 1418, which shows in outline what was to have
been the character of the work when completed. The only copy known is in the
possession of Trinity Hall, Cam.bridge. The author was connected with Norfolk,
and most probably with Elmhara, whence he derived his name.
9. Etjlogium (Histokiarum site Temporis) : Chronicou ab Orbe condito usque ad
Annum Domini 1366 ; a Monacho quodam Malmesbiriensi exaratum. Yds.
I., II., and III. Edited by F. 8. BAYBo:^,:Esq.,B.A. 1858-1863.
This is a Latin Chronicle extending from the Creation to the latter part of the
reign of Edward III., and written by a monk of the Abbey of Malmesbury, in
Wiltshire, about the year 1367. A continuation, carrying the history of England
down to the year 1413, was added in the former half of the fifteenth century bj-
an author whose name is not known. The original Chronicle is divided into
five books, and contains a history of the world generally, but more especially
of England to the year 1366. The continuation extends the history down to
the coronation of Henry V. The Eulogium itself is chiefly valuable as contain-
ing a history, by a contemporary, of the period between 1356 and 1366. The
notices of events appear to have been written very soon after their occurrence.
Among other interesting matter, the Chronicle contains a diary of the Poitiers
campaign, evidently furnished by some person who accompanied the army of the
Black Prince. The continuation of the Chronicle is also the work of a contem-
porary, and gives a very interesting account of the reigns of Richard II. and
Henry IV. It is believed to be the earliest auihority for the statement that the
latter monarch died in the Jerusalem Chamber at Westminster.
10. Memorials of Henry the Seventh : Bernardi Andrete Tholosatis Vita Eegis
Henrici Septimi ; necnon aliaquEedam ad eundem Begem spectantia. Edited
by James Gairdnee, Esq. 1858.
The contents of this volume are — (1) a life of Henry VII., by his poet
laureate and historiographer, Bernard Andre, of Toulouse, with some composi-
tions in verse, of which he is supposed to have been the author ; (2) the journals
of Roger Machado during certaia embassies on which he was sent by Heniy VII.
to Spain and Brittany, the first of which had reference to the marriage of the
King's son, Arthur, with Catharine of Arragon ; (3) two curious reports by
envoys sent to Spain in 1505 touching the succession to the Crown of Castile,
and a project of marriage between Henry VI I. and the Queen of Naples ;
and (4) an account of Philip of Castile's reception in England in 1506. Other
documents of interest are given in an appendix.
11. Memorials of Henry the Fifth. I. — Yita Henrici Quinti, Roberto Eedmanno
auctore. II. — Versus Rhythmici in laudem Eegis Henrici Quinti. Ill, —
Elmhami LiberMctricus de Henrico Y. Edited % Charles A. Cole, Esq.
1858.
This volume contains three treatises which more or less illustrate the history of
the reign of Henry V., viz.: A life by Robert Redman ; a Metrical Chronicle by
Thomas Elmham, prior of Lenton, a contemporary author ; Versus Rhythmici,
written apparently by a monk of Westminster Abbey, who was also a contempo-
rary of Henry V. These works are printed for the first time.

12. MuNiMENTA GiLDHALLiE LoNDONiENsis ; Liber Albus, Liber Custumarum, et
Liber Horn, in archivis Gildballse asservati. Vol. I., Liber AlbuB. VoL II.
(in Two Parts), Liber Custumarum. Yol. III., Translation of the Anglo-
Korman Passages in Liber Albus , Glossaries, Appendices, and Index. Edited
hi/ Henry Thomas Riley, Esq., M.A., Barrister-at-Law. 1859-1862.
The manuscript of the Liber Albus, compiled by John Carpenter, Common
Clerk of the City of Loudon in the year 1419, a large folio volume, is pre-
served in the Record Room of the City of London. It gives an account of
the la-ns, regulations, and institutions of that City in the 12th, 13th, 14th,
and early part of the 15th centuries. The Liber Cushunartim was compiled
probably by various hands in the early part of the 14th century during the
reign of Edwai'd II. The manuscript, a folio volume, is also preserved in
the Record Room of the City of Loudon, though some portion in its original
state, borrowed from the City in the reign of Queen Elizabeth and never
returned, forms part of the Cottouian MS. Claudius D. II. in the British
Museum. It also gives an account of the laws, regulations, and institutions
of the City of London in the 12th, 13th, and early part of the 14th centuries.
13. Chronica Johannis de Oxenedes. Edited by Sir Henry Ellis, K.H. 1859.
Although this Chronicle tells of the arrival of Hengist and Horsa in England
in 449, 3'et it substantially begins with the reign of King Alfred, and comes
down to 1292, where it ends abrupt!}'. The history is particularly valuable
for notices of events in the eastern portions of the Kingdom, not to be
elsewhere obtain(!d. Some curious facts are mentioned relative to the floods in
that part of England, which are confirmed in the Erieslaud Chronicle of
Anthony Heinrich, pastor of the Island of Mohr.
14. A Collection ot^ Political Poems and Songs relating to English History',
TROM THE Accession of Edward III. to the Eeign of Henry VIII. Vols. I.
and II. Edited hy Thomas Wright, Esq., M.A. 1859-1861.
These Poems are perhaps the most interesting of all the historical writings of
the period, though they cannot be relied on for accuracy of statement. They
are various in character ; some are upon religious subjects, some may be called
satires, and some give no more than a court scandal ; but as a whole they pre-
sent a very fair picture of society, and of the relations of the different classes
to one another. The period comprised is iu itself interesting, and brings us
through the decline of the feudal system, to the beginning of our modern
history. The songs in old English are of considerable value to the philologist.
15. The " Ophs Tertium," " Opus Minus," &c., of Eoger Bacon. Edited hy J. S.
Brewer, M.A., Professor of English Literature, King's College, London.
1859. • ■
This is the celebrated treatise — never before printed — so frequently referred
to by the great philosopher iu his works. It contains the fullest details we
possess of the life and labours of Roger Bacon : also a fragment by the same
author, supposed to be unique, the " Compendium Studil Theologia."
16. Bartuolom^i de Cotton, Monachi Norwicensis, Historia Anglicana ; 449-
1298: necnonejusdem Liber de Achiepiscopis et Episcopis Anglia^. Edited
&?/ Henry Richards Luard, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity
College, Cambridge. 1859.
The author, a monk of Norwich, has here given us a Chronicle of England
from the arrival of the Saxons in 449 to the j'car 1S98, in or about which year
it appears that he died. The latter portion of this histor3' (the whole of the
reigu of Edward I. more especially) is of great value, as the writer was con-
temporary with the events which he records. An Appendix contains several
illustrative documents connected with the previous narrative.
17. Brut y Tywysogion ; or, The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales. Edited by
the Rev. John Williams ab Ithel, M.A. I860.
This work, also known as ," The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales," has
been attributed to Caradoc of Llancarvan, who flourished about the middle of
the twelfth century. It is wi'itten in the ancient Welsh 'language, begins with
the abdication and death of Caedwala at Rome, in the year 681, and continues
the history down to the subjugation of Wales by Edward T., about the year 1282.
13
18. A Collection of Eoyal and Histokical Lettebs during the Eeign op
Henky IV. 1399-1404. Edited by the Eev. F. C, Hingeston, M.A., of
Exeter College, Oxford. 1860.
This volume, like nil the others in the series containing a miscellaneous selec-
tion of letters, is valuable on account of the light it throws upon biographical
history, and the familiar view it presents of characters, manners, and events.
The period requires much elucidation ; to which it will materially contribute.
19. The Eefressor of over much Blaming of the Clergy. By Eeginald
Pecock, sometime Bishop of Chichester. Yols. I. and II. Edited by
Churchill Babington, B.D., Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge.
1860.
The " Ilepi'essor " may be considered the earliest piece of good theological dis-
quisition of ■which our English prose litei-ature can boast. The author was born
about the end of the fourteenth century, consecrated Bishop of St. Asaph in
the year 1444, and translated to the see of Chichester in 1450. While Bishop of
St. Asaph, he zealously defended his brother prelates from the attacks of those
■who censured the bishops for their neglect of dutj-. He maintained that it was no
part of a bishop's functions to appear in the pulpit, and that his time might be
more profitably spent, and his dignity better maintained, in the performance of
works of a higher character. Among those who thought differently were the
Lollards, and against their general doctrines the " Kepressor " is directed. Pecock
took up a position midway between that of the Koman Church and that of the
modern Anglican Church ; but his work is interesting chiefly because it gives a
full account of the views of the Lollards and of the arguments by which they were
supported, and because it assists us to ascertain the state of feeling which ulti-
mately led to the Reformation. Apart from relig-ious matters, the light thrown upon
contemporaneous history- is very small, but the " Repressor " has great value
for the philologist, as it tells us what were the characteristics of the language in
use among the cultivated Englishmen of the fifteenth century. Pecock, though
an opponent of the Lollards^ showed a certain spirit of toleration, for which he
received, towards the end of his hfe, the usual media;val reward — persecution.
20. Annales Cambrle. Edited by the Eev. John Williams ab Ithel, M.A.
1860.
These annals, which are in Latin, commence in 447, and come down
to 1288. The earlier portion appears to be taken from an Irish Chronicle,
used T)y Tigernach, and by the compiler of the Annals of Ulster. During its first
century it contains scarcely anything relating to Britain, the earliest direct
concurrence with English history is relative to the mission of Augustine.
Its notices throughout, though brief, are valuable. The annals were probably
written at St. Davids, by Blegewryd, Archdeacon of Llandaff, the most learned
man in his day in all Cymru.
21. The Works of Giraldus Cambrensis. Yols. I., II., III., and lY. Edited
by J. S. Brewer, M.A., Professor of English Literature, King's College,
London. Yols. Y., YL, and YII. Edited by the Eev. James F. Dimock,
M.A., Sector of Baruburgh, Yorkshh-e. 1861-1877.
These volumes contain the historical works of Gerald du Barry, who lived
in the reigns of Henry II., Richard I., and John, and attempted to re-establish
the independence of Wales by restoring the see of St. Davids to its ancient
primacy. His works are of a very miscellaneous nature, both in prose and
verse, and arc remarkable chiefly for the racy and original anecdotes which
they contain .relating to contemporaries. He is the only Welsh writer of any
importance who has contributed so much to the mediaeval literature of tliis
country, or assumed, in consequence of his nationality, so free and independent
a toue. His frequent travels in Italy, in France, in Ireland, and in \\^ales, gave
him opportunities for observation which did not generally fall to the lot of mediaeval
writers in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and of these observations Giraldus
has made due nse. Only extracts from these treatises have been printed before
ami almost all of them are taken from unique manuscripts.
14
The Topographia Hibernica (in Vol. V.) is the result of Giialdus' two visits to
Ireland. The first in 1183, the second in 1185-6, when he accompanied
Frince John into that country. Curious as this treatise is, Mr. Dimock is of
opinion that it ought not to be accepted as sober truthful history, for Giraldus
himself states that truth was not his main object, and that he compiled the work
for the purpose of sounding the praises of Henry the Second. Elsewhere, how-
ever, he declares that he had stated nothing in the Topographia of the truth of
which he was not well assured, either by his own eyesight or by the testimony,
with all diligence elicited, of the most trustworthy and authentic men in the
country ; that though he did not put just the same full faith in their reports as
in what he had himself seen, yet, as they only related what they had themselves
seen, he could not but believe such credible witnesses. A. very interesting portion
of this treatise is devoted to the animals of Ireland. It shows that he was a very
accurate and acute observer, and his descriptions are given in a way that a
scientific naturalist of the present day could hardly improve upon. The Expug-
natio Hibernica was written about 118S and may be regarded rather as a
great epic than a sober relation of acts occurring in his own days. No one can
peruse it without coming to the conclusion that it is rather a poetical fiction
than a prosaic truthful history. Vol. VI. contains the Itinerarium Kambrise
et Descriptio Kambriae : and Vol. VII., the lives of S. Re migius and
S. Hugh.
22. Letters and Papers illustrative of the Wars or the English in France
DURING THE ReIGN OF HeNRY THE SiXTH, KiNG OF ENGLAND. Yol. I., and
Vol. II. (in Two Parts). Edited by the Rev. Joseph Stevenson, M.A., of
TJaiversity (Jjllege, Darham, aad Vicar of Leightoa Buzzard. 1861-1864.
These letters and papers are derived chiefly from originals or contemporary
copies extant in the Bibliotheque Imperiale, and the I)ep6t des Archives, iu
Paris. They illustrate the policy adopted by John Duke of Bedford and
his successors during their government of Normandy, and other provinces of
France acquired by Henry V. Here may be traced, step by step, the gradual
declension of the English power, until we are prepared for its final overthrow.
23. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, according to the several Original Autho-
rities. Yol. I., Original Texts. Yol. II., Translation. Edited and trans-
lated by Benjamin Thorpe, Esq., Member of the Koyal Academy of
Sciences at Mutiich, and of the Society of Netherlandish Literature at
Leyden. 1861.
This Chronicle, extending from the earliest history of Britain to 1154, is
justly the boast of England ; no other nation can produce any history,
written in its own vernacular, at all approaching it, in antiquity, truthful-
ness, or extent, the historical books of the Bible alone excepted. There are' at
present six independent manuscripts of the Saxon Chronicle, ending in different
years, and written iu different parts of the country. In this edition, the text
of each manuscript is printed in columns on the same page, so that the student
may see at a glance the various changes which occur in orthography; whether
arising from locality or age.
24. Letters and Papers illustrative of the Reigns of Richard III. and
Henry YII. Yols. I. and II. Edited by James Gairdner, Esq. 1861-
1863.
The Papers are derived from the MSS. in Public Record OtEce, the British
Museum, and other repositories. The period to which they refer is unusually
destitute of chronicles and other sources of historical information, so that the
light obtained from them is of special importance. The principal contents
of the volumes are some diplomatic Papers of Richard III. ; correspondence
between Henry VII. and Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain ; documents relating
to Edmund de la i'ole. Earl of Suffolk ; and a portion of the correspondence
of James IV. of Scotland.
25. Letters of Bishop Grosseteste, illustrative of the Social Condition of his
Time. Edited by Henry Richards Luard, M.A., Fellow and Assistant
Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1861.
TheLetters of Robert Grosseteste (131 in number") are here collected from various
sources, and a large portion of them is printed for the first time. They range in
15
date from about 1210 to 1253, aud relate to various matters conuected uot only
■with the political history of England during the reign of Henry III., but with
its ecclesiastical condition. They refer especially to the diocese of Lincoln, of
which Grosseteste was bishop.

DuFFUS Hardy, D.C.L., Deputy Keeper of the Public Eecords. 1862-1871.
The object of this work is to publish notices of all known sources of Britisli
history, both printed and unpriuted, in one continued sequence. The materials,
when "historical (as distinguished from biographical), are arranged under the
year in which the latest event is recorded in the chronicle or history, and not
under the period in which its author, real or supposed, flourished. Biographies
are enumerated under the year in which the person commemorated died, and not
under the year in which the life was written. This arrangement has two
advantages ; the materials for any given period may be seen at a glance ; and
if the reader knows the time when an author wrote, and the number of years
that had elapsed between the date of the events and the time the writer flourished,
he will generally be enabled to form a fair estimate of the comparative value of
the narrative itself. A brief analysis of each work has been added Mheu deserving
it, in which original portions are distinguished from mere compilations. If
possible, the sources are indicated from which compilations have been
derived, A biographical sketch of the author of each piece has been added, and
a brief notice of such British authors as have written on historical subjects.
27. Royal and other Historical Letters illustrative or the Eeign of Henry
III. Vol. I., 1216-1235. Vol. II., 1236-1272. Selected a7icl edited by the
Eev. ^Y. W. Shirley, D.D., Regius t^rofessor in Ecclesiastical History, and
Canon of Christ Church, Oxford. 1862-1866.
The letters contained in these volumes are derived chiefly from the ancient
correspondence formerly in the Tower of London, and now in the Public Kecord
Office. They illustrate the political history of England during the growth of
its liberties, and throw considerable light upon the pi;rsonal history of Simon de
Moutfort. The affairs of France form the subject of many of them, especially
in regard to the province of Gascony. The entire collection consists of nearly
700 documents, the greater portion of which is printed for the first time.

tTNA cuii CoNTiNtTATioNE AD A^'XTJM 1418. Edited by the Eev. W. D. Mackay,
Bodleian Library, Oxford. 1863.
The Chronicle of Evesham illustrates the history of that important monastery
from its foundation by Egwiu, about 690, to the year 1418. Its chief feature is
an autobiography, ■which makes us acquainted with the inner daily life of a
great abbey, such as but rarely has been recorded. Interspersed are many
notices of general, personal, and local history which -svill be read with much
interest. This work exists in a single MS., and Is for the first time printed.

Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. 1863-1869.
The compiler, Richard of Cirencester, was a monk of Westminster, 1355-
1400. In 1391 he obtained a licence to make a pilgrimage to Rome. His history,
in four books, extends from 447 to 1066. He announces his intention of con-
tinuing It, but there is no evidence that he completed any more. This chronicle
gives many charters In favour of Westminster Abbey, and a very full account
of the lives and miracles of the saints, especially of Edward the Confessor,
whose reign occupies the fourth book. A treatise on the Coronation, by
WilHam of Sudbury, a monk of Westminster, fills book Hi. c. 3. It was on this
author that C. J. Bertram fathered his forgery, De Situ Brittania, in 1747.

The volumes known as the " Year Books " contain reports in Norman-French
of Cases argued and decided in the Courts of Common Law. They may be con-
sidered to a great extent as the '• lex non scripta " of England, held in the
highest veneration by the ancient sages of the law, and received by them as
the repositories of the first recorded judgments and dicta of the great legal
luminaries of past ages. They are also worthy of attention on account of the
historical information and the notices of public and private persons which they
contain, as well as the light which thej- throw on ancient manners and customs.

This volume contains the narrative of an eye-witness M-ho details with con-
siderable power and minuteness the circumstances which attended the final ex-
pulsion of the English from Normandy in 1450. Commencing with the infringe-
ment of the truce by the capture of Eougeres, and ending with the battle of
Formigny and the embarkation of the Duke of Somerset. The period em-
braced is less than two years.

and III. Edited ly W. H. Hart, Esq., F.S.A., Membre correspondant de
la Societe des Antiquaires de Normandie. 1863-1867.
This work consists of two parts, the History and the Cartulary of the Monastery
of St. Peter, Gloucester. The history furnishes an account of the monastery
from its foundation, in the year 681, to the early part of the reign of Richard II.
together with a calendar of donations and benefactions. It treats principally of
the affairs of the monastery, but occasionally matters of general history are
introduced. Its authorship has generally been assigned to Walter Eroucester
the twentieth abbot, but without any foundation.
34. Alexandri Neckam de Naturis Rerum lieri DUO; with Weckam's Poem,
De Laudibus Divine Sapienti^. Edited by Thomas V^rtght, Esq MA'
1863.
Neckam was a man -who devoted himself to science, such as it was in the
twelfth centuary. In the " De Naturis Kerum " are to be found -what may be
called the rudiments of many sciences mixed up -with much error and ignorance
Neckham was not thought infallible, even by his contemporaries, for Roo-er Bacon
remarks of him, " this Alexander in many things wrote what was true and useful •
" but he neither can nor ought by just title to be reckoned among authorities.''
Neckam, however, had sufficient independence of thought to differ from some
of the schoolmen who in his time considered themselves the onlyjud"-es of litera-
ture. He had his own views in morals, and in giving us a glimpse of them as
•well as of his other opinions, he throws much light upon the manners customs
and general tone of thought prevalent in the twelfth century. The poem entitled'
" De Laudibus Divinas Sapientije " appears to be a metrical paraphrase or
abridgment of the "De Naturis Rerum." It is written in the elegiac metre
and though there are many lines which violate clafsical rules, it is, as a whole'
above the ordinary standard of mediaeval Latin.

hi the Rev. T. Oswald Cockayne, M.A., of St. John's College, Cambride-e

This work illustrates not only the history of science, but the history of super-
stition. In addition to the information bearing directly upon the medical skill
and medical faith of the times, there are many passages w hich incidentally throw
light upon the general mode of life and ordinary diet.^The volumes are interesting
b
not only in their scientific, but also in their social aspect. The manuscripts from
which tiiey have been printed are valuable to the Anglo-Saxon scholar for the
illustrations they afford of Anglo-Saxon orthography.

The present collection of IMonastic Annals embraces all the more important
chronicles compiled in religious houses in England during the thirteenth
century. These distinct works are ten in number. The extreme period
which they embrace ranges from the year I to 1432, although they refer more
especially to the reigns of John, Henry III., and Edward I. .Some of these narra-
tives have already appeared in print, but others are printed for the first time.
,37. Magna Vita S. Hugonis Episcopi Lincolniensis. From MSS. in the Bod-
leian Library, Oxford, and the Imperial Library, Paris. Editedhy the Kev.-
James F. Dimock, M.A., Rector of Barnburgh, Yorkshire. 1864.
This work contains a number of very curious and interesting incidents, and
beino- the work of a contemporary, is very valuable, not only as a truthful
bioo-raphy of a celebrated ecclesiastic, but as the work of a man, who, from per-
sonal knowledge, gives notices of passing events, as well as of individuals who
were then taking active part in public affairs. The author, in all probability,
was Adam Abbot of Evesham. He was domestic chaplain and private confessor
of Bishop Hugh, and in these capacities was admitted to the closest intimacy.
Bishop Hugh was Prior of Witham for 1 1 years before he became Bishop of
Lincoln. His consecration took place on the 21st September 1186 ; he died on
the 16th of November 1200 ; and was canonized in 1220.

Canterbury ; 1187 to 1199. Edited hy William Stubbs, M.A., Vicar of
Navestock, Essex, and Lambeth Librarian. 1864-1865.
The authorship of the Chronicle in Vol. I., hitherto ascribed to Geoffrey
Vinesauf, is now more correctly ascribed to Richard, Canon of the Holy Trinity
of London. The narrative extends from 1187 to 1199 ; but its chief interest
consists in the minute and authentic narrative which it furnishes of the exploits
of Richard I., from his departure from England in Decembar 1189 to his death
in 1199. The author states in his prologue that he was an eye-witness of much
that he records ; and various incidental circumstances which occur in the course
of the narrative confirm this assertion.
The letters in Vol. II., written between 1187 and 1199, are of value as
furnishing authentic materials for the history of the ecclesiastical condition of
England during the reign of Richard I. They had their origin in a dispute which
arose from the attempts of Baldwin and Hubert, archbishops of Canterbury, to
found a college of secular canons, a project which gave great umbrage to the
monks of Canterbury, who saw in it a design to supplant them in their function
of metropolitan chapter. These letters are printed, for the first time, from a MS.
belonging to Ihe archiepiscopal library at Lambeth.

F.S.A. 1864.
This curious chronicle extends from the fabulous period of history down to the
return of Edward IV. to England in the year 1471 after the second deposition of
Henry VI. The manuscript from which the text of the work is taken is pre-
served in the Imperial Library at Paris, and is believed to be the only complete
and nearly contemporary copy in existence. The work, as originally bound,
was comprised in six volumes, since rebound in morocco in 12 volumes, folio
maximo, vellum, and is illustrated with exquisite miniatures, vignettes, and initial
letters. It was written towards the end of the fifteenth century, having been
expressly executed for Louis de Bruges, Seigneur de la Gruthuyse and Earl of
Winchester, from whose cabinet it passed into the library of Louis XII. at Blois.
41. PoLYCHRONicoN Ranulpiii Higden, with Trevisa's Translation. Yols. I. and

by the Rev. Joseph Ra\fson Lumby, D.D., ISTorrisian Professor of Divinity,
Yicar of St. Edward's, Fellow of St. Catharine's College, and late Fellow of
Magdalene College, Cambridge. 1865-1886.
This is one of the many mediaeval chronicles which assume the character of a
history of the world. It begins with the creation, and is brought down to the
author's own time, the reign of Edward III. Prefixed to the historical portion, is
a chapter devoted to geography, in which is given a description of evevj known
land. To say that the Polychronicon was written in the fourteenth century is to
say that it is not free from inaccuracies. It has, however, a value apart from its
intrinsic merits. It enables us to forma very fair estimate of the knowledge of
history and geogi'aphy which well-informed readers of the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries possessed, for it was then the standard work on general history.
The two English translations, which are printed with the original Latin, afford
interesting illustrations of the gradual change of our language, for one was made
in the fourteenth century, the other in the fifteenth. The differences between
Trevisa's version and that of the unknown writer are often considerable.
42. Le Liveke de Reis de Beittanie e Le Liveee de Reis de Engletere.
Edited hy John Glovek, M.A., Yicar of Brading, Isle of "Wight, formerly
Librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge. 1865.
These two treatises, though they cannot rank as independent narratives, are
nevertheless valuable as careful abstracts of previous historians, especially " Le
Livere de Reis de Engletere." Some various readings are given which are
interesting to the philologist as instances of semi-Saxonized French. It is sup-
posed that Peter of Ickham was the supposed author.
43. Chronica Monastekii de Melsa ab Anno 1150 usque ad Annum 1406.
Yols. I., II., and III. Edited ly Edward Augustus Bond, Esq., Assistant-
Keeper of Manuscripts, and Egerton Librarian, British Museum. 1866-1868.
The Abbey of Meaux was a Cistercian house, and the work of its abbot is both
curious and valuable. It is a faithful and often minute record of the establishment
of a religious community, of its progress in forming an ample revenue, of its
struggles to maintain its acquisitions, and of its relations to the governing
institutions of the country. In addition to the private affairs of the monastery,
some light is thrown upon the public events of the time, which are however kept
distinct, and appear at the end of the history of each abbot's administration. The
text has been printed from what is said to be the autograph of the original
compiler, Thomas de Burton, the nineteenth abbot.

K.H., Keeper of the ManuscriptDepartment of British Museum, 1866-1869.
The exact date at which this work was written is, according to the chronicler,
1250. The history is of considerable value as an illustration of the period during
which the author lived, and contains a good summary of the events which followed
b 2
20
the Conquest. This minor chronicle is, however, based on another work (also
■written by Matthew Paris) giving fuller details, which has been called the
" Historia Major." The chronicle here published, nevertheless, gives some
information not to be found in the greater history.
45. LiBEK MONASTERII DE HyDA : A CHRONICLE AND CUARTULARY OF HyDE AbBEY,
Winchester, 455-1023. Edited, from a Manuscript in the Library of the
Earl of Macclesfield, hy Edward Edwards, Esq. 1866.
The " Book of Hyde " is a compilation from much earlier sources which are
usually indicated with considerable care and precision. In many cases, however,
the Hyde Chronicler appears to correct, to qualify, or to amplify — either from
traditition or from sources of information not now discoverable — the statements,
which, in substance, he adopts. He also mentions, and frequently quotes from
writers whose works are either entirely lost or at present known only by fragments.
There is to be found, in the " Book of Hyde," much information relating to the
reign of King Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The volume
contains some curious specimens of Anglo-Saxon and Mediaeval English.
46. Chronicon Scotorum : A Chronicle of Irish Affairs, from the Earliest
Times to 1135 ; and Supplement, containing the Events from 1141 to
1150. Edited, tuith Translation, hy William Maunsell Hennessy, Esq.,
M.E.I.A. 1866.
There is, in this volume, a legendary account of the peopling of Ireland and of
the adventures which befell the various heroes who are said to have been con-
nected with Irish history. The details are, however, very meagre both for this
period and for the time when history becomes more authentic. The plan adopted
in the chronicle gives the appearance of an accuracy to which the earlier portions
of the work cannot have any claim. The succession of events is marked year by
year, from a.m. 1.599 to a.d. 1150. The principal events narrated in the later
portion of the work are, the invasions of foreigners, and the wars of the Irish
among themselves. The text has been printed from a MS. preserved in the
library of Trinity College, Dublin, written partly in Latin, partly in Irish.
47. The Chronicle of Pierre de liANGTOFT, in French Verse, from the earliest
Period to the Death of Edward I. "Vols. I. and II. Edited by Thomas
Wright, Esq., M. A. 1866-1868.
It is probable that Pierre de Laugtoft was a canon of Bridlington, in York-
shire, and lived in the reign of Edward I., and during a portion of the
reign of Edward II. This chronicle is divided into three parts; in the first, is
an abridgment of Geoffrey of Monmouth's " Historia Britonum ;" in the second,
a history of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman kings, to the death of Henry III. ;
in the third, a history of the reign of Edward I. The principal object of the
work was apparently to show the justice of Edward's Scottish wars. The language
is singularly corrupt, and a curious specimen of the French of Yorkshire.
48. The War of the Gaedhil with the G-aill, or The Invasions of Ireland bt
THE Danes and other Norsemen. Edited, with a Translation, by James
Henthorn Todd, D.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, and Regius Pro-
fessor of Hebrew in the University, Dublin. 1867.
The work in its present form, in the editor's opinion, is a comparativelj-
modern version of an undoubtedly ancient original. That it was compiled from
contemporary materials has been proved by curious incidental evidence. It is
stated in the account given of the battle of Clontarf that the full tide in Dublin
Bay on the daj- of the battle (23 April 1014) coincided with sunrise ; and that
the returning tide in the evening aided considerably in the defeat of the Danes.
The fact has been verified by astronomical calculations, and the inference is
that the author of the chronicle, if not an eye-witness, must have derived his in-
formation from eye-witnesses. The contents of the work are sufiBciently
described in its title. The story is told after the manner of the Scandinavian
Sagas, with poems and fragments of poems introduced into the prose narrative.

This work has long been justly celebrated, but not thoroughly understood until
Mr Stubbs' edition. The earlier portion, extending from 732 to 1148, appears
to be a copy of a compilation made in Northumbna about 1161, to which
Hoveden added little. From 1148 to 1169-a very valuable portion of this
work-the matter is derived from another source, to which Hoveden appears to
have supplied little, and not always judiciously. From 11.0 to 1192 is the
portion which corresponds with the Chronicle known imder the name of
Benedict of Peterborough (see No. 49) ; but it is not a copy, being some imes
an abridgment, at others a paraphrase; occasionally the two works entirely
ac/ree; showing that both writers had access to the same materials, but dealt
w'ith them differently. From 1192 to 1201 may be said to be wholly Hoveden s
work ; it is extremely valuable, and an authority of the first importance.

The original of this chronicle has passed under various names The title ot

to the Episcopate. They contain many of the Bishop's own letters, and several
written by him in the Kind's name ; also letters to himself while Royal Secre-
tary, and others addressed to the'King. This work elucidates some points in
the history of the nation during the first half of the fifteenth century.

This work, now printed in full for the first time, has long been a desideratum

The Historical Works of Gervase of Canterbury are of great importance
as regards the questions of Church and State, during the period in which he
wrote. This work was printed by Twysden, in the " Historiae Anglicanse
Scriptores X.," more than two centuries ago. The present edition has received
critical examination and ilhtstration.

Henry of Huntingdon's work was first printed by Sir Henry Savile, in 1596,

This Important and unique survey of the greater portion of England* is the
oldest and most valuable record in the national archives. It was commenced
about the year 1084 and finished in 1086. Its compilation -was determined
upon at Gloucester by William the Conqueror, in council, in order that he might
know what was due to him, in the way of tax, from his subjects, and that each
at the same time might know what he had to pay. It was compiled as much
for their protection as for the benefit of the sovereign. The nobility and people
had been grievously distressed at the time by the kmg bringing over large num-
bers of French and Bretons, and quartering them on his subjects, " each
" according to the measure of his land," for the purpose of resisting the invasion of
Cnut, King of Denmark, which was apprehended. The Commissioners appointed
to make the survey were to inquire the name of each place ;.who held it in the
time of King Edward the Confessor; the present possessor; how many hides
were in the manor ; how many ploughs were in the demesne ; how many homagers ;
how many villeins ; how many cottars ; how many serving men ; how many free
tenants ; how many tenants in soccage ; how much wood, meadow, and pasture ;
the number of mills and fish ponds ; what had been added or taken away from
the place ; what was the gross value in the time of Edward the Confessor; the
present value ; and how much each free man or soc-man had, and whether any
advance could be made in the value. Thus could be ascertained who held the
estate in the time of King Edward ; who then held it ; its value in the time of
the late King ; and its value as it stood at the formation of the survey. So
minute was the survey, that the ^^Titer of the contemporary portion of the Saxon
Chronicle records, with some asperity — " So very narrowly he caused it to be
" traced out, that there was not a single hide, nor one virgate of land, nor even,
" it is shame to tell, though it seemed to him no shame to do, an ox, nor a cow,
" nor a swine was left, that was not set down."
Domesday Survey is in two parts or volumes. The first, in folio, contains the
counties of Bedford, Berks, Bucks, Cambridge, Chester, and Lancaster, Corn-
wall, Derby, Devon, Dorset, Gloucester, Hants, Hereford, Herts, Huntingdon,
Kent, Leicester and Eutland, Lincoln, IMiddlesex, Korthampton, Nottingham,
Oxlord, Salop, Somerset, StaflFord, Surrey, Susses, Warwick, Wilts, Worcester,
and York. The second volume, in quarto, contains the counties of Essex,
Norfolk and Suffolk.
Domesday Book was printed verbatim et literatim during the last century, in
consequence of an address of the House of Lords to King George III. in 1767.
It was not, however, commenced until 1773, and was completed early in 1783.
In 1860, Her Majesty's Government, with the concurrence of the Master of the
KoUs, determined to apply the art of photozincography to the production of a
fac-simile of Domesday Book, under the superintendence of Colonel Sir Henry
James, E.E., Director-General of the Ordnance Survey, Southampton. The
fac-simile was completed in 1863.
* For some reason left ur.exr)lained, many parts were left unsurveyed ; Northumberland, Cumber-
land, Westmoreland, and Durham, are not described in the survey ; nor does Lancashire appear under
its proper name ; but Furness, and the northern part of Lancashire, as well as the soutli of Westmore-
land, with a part of Cumberland, arc included uithin the West Riding of Yorkshire. That part of
Lancashire which lies between the Ribble and Mersey, and which at the time of the survey compre-
hended 688 manors, is joined to Cheshire. Part of Rutland is described in the counties of Northampton
and Lincoln.

This work forms a comprehensive Palacographic Series for Irchind. It
furnishes characteristic specimens of the documents which have come down
from each of the classes -which, in past ages, formed principal elements in the
population of Ireland, or exercised an influence in her affairs. With these
reproductions are combined fac-siuiiles of writings connected with eminent
personages or transactions of importance in the annals of the country to the
early part of the eighteenth century.
The specimens have been reproduced as nearly as possible iu accordance with
the originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general appearance. Characteristic
examples of styles of writing and caligraphic ornamentation are, so far as
practicable, associated with subjects of historic and linguistic interest.
Descriptions of the various manuscrij^ts are given by the Editor in the Intro-
duction. The contents of the specimens are fully elucidated and printed in the
original languages, opposite to the Fac-similes — line for line — without contrac-
tions— thus facilitating reference and aiding effectivelj' those interested in
paleeographic studies.
In the work are also printed in full, for the first time, many original and
important historical documents.
Part I. commences with the earliest Irish ]\I8S. extant.
Part II.: From the Twelfth Century to A,D. 1299.
