Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies on the Red Book of the Exchequer
As these studies are intended for historical scholars alone, I have thought it better to issue them privately and at my own cost, the interest taken in original re search being here, unfortunately, very small. It has been urged, plausibly enough, that critical work of this character is out of place in books intended for perma nent reference. To those, however, who advance this View it may not have occurred that, in some cases, there is no other means of publishing such work at all. There are but two or three quarters in which, in this country, it could hope to see the light. In one of them a successful intrigue averted its publication; in another, the 'english Historical Review - intended, it is supposed, for this purpose, the avowed objection of its present editor to all controversy' whatever has made discussion impossible.
