Excerpt from Calendar of the Charter Rolls Preserved in the Public Record Office, Vol. 1: Prepared Under the Superintendence of the Deputy Keeper of the Records; Henry III., A. D. 1226-1257 There is at present no satisfactory guide to the contents of the Charter Rolls subsequent to the reign of King John. Copies or abstracts of entries relating to particular subjects have from time to time been made, and many such collections may be found in the British Museum and elsewhere. Many monastic chartularies have been printed by learned societies or by independent antiquaries; and the charters of many towns have been made accessible in the same way. Some attempt has been made to give references to such sources in the present volume; but in the absence of any general list of printed charters, a complete system of references is unattainable. A list of books referred to in this volume is given herewith. But it must be repeated that neither the authorities cited nor the references to them are exhaustive.
