from time to time into the ' treasury ' of the exchequer. Those in the 

 Chapter-house and those lately kept by the Gustos Brevium of the 

 Common Pleas will shortly be united, and will present a series of 

 records, like the Pipe Rolls and Rolls of the Curia Regis, unrivalled in 

 all Europe. The Cartse Antiquse, formerly in the Tower, are tran- 

 scripts of charters descending from the Saxon times to Henry III. 

 They are hardly to be considered as part of the splendid series of 

 chancery rolls commencing in King John's reign. In noticing the 

 chancery rolls it is quite superfluous to do more than refer the reader 

 to the prefaces which Mr. Thomas Duffus Hardy has attached to his 

 editions of the earliest close and patent rolls. If we were to continue 

 to particularise documents of age and interest, such as the Norman 

 pipe-roll of Henry I., the ' Rotulus de Dominabus, temp. Henry II.' 

 (which was printed by Mr. Stacey Grimaldi, in 1830), the Red Book 

 of the Exchequer, containing the laws of the Conqueror and those 

 ascribed to Henry I. (which has been fully catalogued by Mr. Hunter, 

 in the * General Report of Commissioners on Public Records,' 1837, 

 p. 165), the Misso and Pncstita rolls of King John, or the Magnse 

 Chartee of our kings, which were not inrolled in a systematic series 

 until 1278, we should never conclude the subject. We therefore 

 refrain from further specifications, aud conclude this article with lists 

 of the various publications lately issued by the Record Commissioners, 

 and at present proceeding under the direction of the Right Honourable 

 Sir John Romilly.
