Excerpt from Index of Chancery Proceedings (Reynardson's Division), Vol. 1: Preserved in the Public Record Office, 1649-1714 The abstracts of Inquisitiones post mortem here printed are taken from the Chancery Series for the reigns of Henry III and Edward I, preserved at the Public Record Office; and since the original documents are in Latin, and their decipherment, on account of age and condition, at times a source of perplexity, even to the practised eye of the expert, the great advantage of these readable English abstracts will be readily allowed no less by the critic than the student. For they supply in each case the whole of the information contained in the originals, and for all practical purposes may therefore be considered as the Inquisitions them selves, shorn of their provoking verbiage. They have the advantage, moreover, of having been collated, whenever necessary, with the transcripts returned either into the Court of Exchequer or the Court of Wards and Liveries. For this much praise is due to Miss Walford, upon the accuracy of whose work every reliance may be placed.
