Excerpt from The Pipe Roll Society, for the Publication of the Great Rolls of the Exchequer, Commonly Called the Pipe Rolls, and Other Documents Prior to the Year A. D. 1200It is more particularly with this 'remo'te period that the Pipe Roll Society proposes to deal. Broadly speaking, however, the Society's scheme includes all unprinted national records that are extant, prior to the year ad. 1200. Unfortunately, the solitary class of Pipe Rolls, practically, represents this period, but the very limited number of Odd membranes of the class known as the Rotuli Curiae Regis of the reign of Richard I. Will form a Valuable supplement to our information with regard to this dark period of history, and the publication of these and a few other early odds and ends may very appropriately terminate the labours of the Society. The Members of the Pipe Roll Society will then have the satisfaction of knowing that they have made accessible to the historical student every scrap of manuscript material extant in the Public Record Office to the end of the twelfth century.From the preceding statement it will be seen that the work which the Society will undertake is strictly limited in scope, and, should it receive the support which - taking into consideration the great value of the material now to be made public for the first time-may reasonably be looked for, the project should certainly be completed within quite a reasonable period. There is, therefore, every probability that, for a very moderate number of annual subscriptions Members will be able to place on their Shelves the finished result of this scheme, and they will, moreover, provide themselves, not only with a series of most instructive volumes, but with an investment which will certainly become of permanent and increasing value.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
