PREFACE 



For my own part I feel sure that I shall find both 

 these compilations very useful, and, as most of us 

 are merely students of such subjects as these, it may 

 be hoped that this contribution to the general store 

 of knowledge will be kindly received by our fellow 

 students. 



The work has benefited by the very kind permission 

 of Miss Frances G. Davenport, Ph.D., of the Carnegie 

 Institution, Washington (whom I am proud to count 

 amongst my earlier students), to use the valuable 

 materials collected by her for the well-known " Classi- 

 fied List of Printed Original Materials for English 

 Manorial and Agrarian History," published in 1894. 

 Miss Moore's compilation may therefore be regarded 

 as a version of this admirable " List," on broader 

 lines, including later works and, to some extent, 

 unpublished sources. Even such a revised version, 

 however, can only be regarded as stopping: a gap in 

 the Bibliography of this section of Mediaeval Economic 

 History, which has fortunately begun to receive the 

 attention of a seminar at Oxford, conducted by the 

 greatest living authority upon the subject. 



Although no titles of works pubHshed later than 

 1 910 were included when this volume was in the press 

 more than a year ago, the delay in its pubHcation, due 

 to various causes, has enabled Miss Moore to add a 

 few titles of special interest dated in 191 1,
