NOTE TO PP. 133 TO 135. 



The writer believes the tables, etc. (signed F. Baring, vide 

 pp. 133 to 135, and p. 288, English Historical Review, 1897), 

 are entirely bona fde, and therefore takes this and other 

 opportunities of modifying his remarks thereanent, having 

 since heard that the author of the E. H. R. article has 

 different views on the population of 1086, to those frequently- 

 held. 



It should be understood that this writer dissents from the 

 opinions and statistics in the E. H. R. as much as ever, nor 

 does he allow their method to be a correct one this the 

 reader (if interested in the matter) should form his own judg- 

 ment upon by reference to them, and the originals they cite 

 what is here stated is that (however near or far from the 

 actual facts, which of course can never at this day be com- 

 pletely recovered) they are the genuine persuasions of the 

 above-mentioned author (and doubtless others), which expla- 

 nation the writer of D. and F. S. thinks proper to make, and 

 entirely of his mere motion, as a servitium debitum to the 

 author cited at the head of this note. A. H. I.
