  • Notes: Second edition of the first volume, first editions of the others. "This work contains chiefly the foundation charters of the monasteries at their first erection, the donation-charters in after-times being purposely omitted; the publication was productive of many lawsuits, by the revival of old writings; and the puritans were highly offended at it, as they looked upon it as a preparatory step to introducing popery"--Lowndes, pages 684-85. Wing D2484, D2485, D2486.
