This Syllabus of "Rymer's Fcedera" has been undertaken by the direction of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, at the recommendation of Lord Eomilly, Master of the Eolls. Before explaining the nature of the work, it will be expedient to lay before the reader a brief relation of the causes which led to the publication of the " Fcedera " itself.^ Anterior to the Restoration of Charles the Second, the transactions The pubMca- between England and Foreign Princes were deemed to be of too docmDents secret a nature to be revealed to the public. Though " they ought ^°^*g^*^^ith' " to be of record and enrolled in the Chancery, to the end the sub- great jealousy . , , X.

Even the offices in which they were deposited were viewed with some degree of awe, and the imposing name of " Treasuries " was conferred upon them, as if the documents themselves were a portion of the national wealth, which it would have been impolitic to exhibit to the eyes of the world. To have committed the secrets of government to the press without royal authority would have ' Fcedera, Conventiones, Litterse, et cujuscunque generis acta publica, inter Beges AngUae et alios quosvis Impera- tores, Eeges, Pontifioes, Principes vel Com- munitates ; ab ineuntc sseculo daodecimo viz. ab anno 1101 ad nostra usque tempora habita aut tractata ; ex autogi'upbis, infra 19250. seoretiores archivorum regioiom thesau- rarias, per multa saecula reconditis fideliter exscripta in lucem missa de mandato KeginiE accurante Thoma Kymer ejusdem Serenissimse Keginee Historiogrupho. ^ i lust. 1.52. 3 4 Inst. 132. 11 PREFACE. rity. entailed severe punishment tipon the offending person.^ Informa- tion relating to such transactions could only be communicated to the people by the special authority of the Crown.^ Hence partly arose the restrictions formerly placed upon consulting the public muniments. The first treaty The practice of publishing treaties by authority seems to have w by aufhT been introduced by James the First. The treaty with Spain, bea^ng date the 18th of August 1604, is perhaps the earliest that was com- mitted to the Press.^ It was followed by the commercial treaty with France dated 24th of February 1605-6 f but the innovation thus begun does not appear to have been fully carried out, as the old system of proclamation was also occasionally continued,^ and such reasons we find assigned for the publication of treaties, as indicate that they were printed only as a special favour.^ During the Civil War a great alteration occurred in the feelings of the people with respect to this subject. The two parties into which the nation was divided treated with each other like independent states, and by printed declarations, answers, proposals, and ad- dresses, appealed by turns to the people as the judges and arbiters of their disputes. Thus the people were taught to take part in poli- tical questions of the highest moment, and the exclusive character Alteration in the feelings of people on this subject, conse- quent on the Civil War. 1 In the suit of the Stationers' Company against Seymour, in the 29th year of the reign of Charles II., the Court held that " matters of State and things -vrhioh con- " cem the Government irere never left to " any man's liberty to print that VFOuld." — (1, Modern Reports. 256-258.) ' Before the invention of printing, ■whenever the Cro-wn had occasion to notify a fact to the public, it, was pro- claimed viva voce in the several counties by the sheriffs or others of the King's officers, who had written authority for their guidance. The proclamation was made according to the form determined upon by the Privy Council, and annexed to the Eoyal Commission.^ — ^Toed. II. 537. O.E. The right of ordering proclamation was one of the floras corona, which no pri- vate individual could invade with impunity. Even as late as the reign of Henry VHI., a gentleman of Northumberland was punished for announcing by proclamation that he was the executor of a person deceased, and was ready to pay his debts. — Archsolog. XXV. 381. Although the introduction of printing promoted the communication of informa- tion, yet it did not confer the right of publishing " State transactions."' The "new art" was taken under the care of the Government, and frequently used as a substitute for the ancient commission, but nothing short of royal authority could set the press in motion to proclaim matters of State. — Mod.

Between the Restoration and the Revolution of 1688 all the i'il>iioation of public treaties to which Great Britain was a party were published the Bestoratiou by authority, both separately and in small collections ; but no fution. attempt was made towards the publication of any general collection, unless, indeed, soniething of the kind was contemplated when Joseph Williamson was empowered, by a Royal Warrant,^ in 1669, to peruse and copy all treaties, leagues, or public acts which he should deein fit for the King's service. By virtue of this authority, Williamson formed a collection of such documents from the reign of 'Williamson's and Agarde's Henry VIII. to that of Charles II. ; but there is no evidence to compilations. show what was the immediate purpose of his work ; probably nothing more was intended by it than a repertory of precedents. By the direction of Lord Burleigh,^ an earlier compilation had been made by Arthur Agarde in the sixteenth century, and Sir Julius Caesar, when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, ordered a treaty- book to be drawn up for his own use.* It would therefore seem that these collections were formed solely for official purposes.* The four treaties of Breda^ were printed by order of Charles II. in 1667, and proclam£itions were also made for publishing the peace on the same occasion. A collection, comprehending seventeen trea- ' The -warrant, dated 5th March 1669, directs the Master of the Rolls to permit, Mr. Williamson and any one employed hy him to peruse and copy whatever ti-eay- ties, leagaes, commissions conducing thereto, or public grants, he or they should deem fit for the King's service. The result ■was a Collection of Copies of Treaties from the reign of Henry VIII. to that of Charles II., and of State Papers during the reign of the latter monarch. Wil- liamson's Collections are still preserved in the Public Record Office. ' It appears in the Proceedings of the Record Commission (printed, but not pub- lished), pp. 278-279, that an original MS. of Agarde's " Compendium Recordorum," dedicated to the first Earl of Salisbury, has been found at Hatfield House. In the preface, Agarde states that it was com- menced under the directions of Liord Bur- leigh in 1570, and that it had occupied him from that time to 1610. ^ MS. Lansdown, No. 137, contains an account and Catalogue of the Records in the King's Treasury at Westminster, dedi- cated to Sir Julius Caesar in 1610. In the same Collection, No. 799, is a Catalogue.of Treaties between 1286 and 1551, also drawn up by Agarde in 1612. * Perhaps the earliest attempt to form a collection of treaties was in the compila- tion of the " Black Book " of the Exchequer, at the beginning of which are entered five Charters of Convention and four Papal Bulls. With a similar design. Liber A. and Liber B. (Muniment Books of the Exchequer) were evidently compiled. , * With reference to the treaties of Breda, there is extant in the Public Record Office a holograph letter of Matthew Prior, the poet, dated from the Hague, 1 5th October 16^7, when he was secretary to the em- bassy at the treaty of Ryswick, It will be found in Appendix I. a 2 IV PREFACE. Publication of diplomatic in- struments on the Continent. Goldast's col- lections. Chifflet's col- lection. A French collection. Leonard's Kecneil. ties, beginning with the commercial treaty with Spain in 1667 and ending with the Algerine treaty in 1685. was printed by direction of Secretary Lord Sunderland in March 168.5. Although England had not as yet published any general collection of treaties, works of that nature were springing up on the Con- tinent. The indefatigable Melchior Goldast has the credit of having led the way in the publication of ancient diplomatic instruments for Germany. His multifarious compilations, printed principally at Frankfort, between the years 1607 and 1614, contain many State documents, mixed up with ecclesiastical constitutions and other papers of a more miscellaneous nature. In 1644, a small collection of diplomatic documents, confined exclusively to treaties between France and Spain, was compiled primarily for the use of the Spanish Plenipotentiaries at Munster, by Jean Jacques Chiflflet, physician to Philip IV. of Spain, uuder.the direction of the Spanish Governor of the Low Countries.^ Another small collection, extending to treaties of all kinds to which France had been a part}-, was published at Amsterdam in 1650, and again in 1672. A more important work, however, was in preparation. Frederic Leonard, whose name is creditably remembered as the printer of the Delphin Classics, was employed by the French Government, as " premier Imprimeur du Roi," to print the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1668, and afterwards that of Nimeguen in 1678. Leonard, in consequence, formed the notion of publishing all the treaties made by France during that century. They appeared at different times as separate pamphlets in various types, and were sold singly or in a collected form, as his customers required. In this way he brought together as many treaties as sufficed to fill four quarto volumes, which were published at Paris in 1683. As his collections increased, Leonard became more alive to their practical importance, and, observing in what manner, one treaty depended upon another, he determined to carry back his researches to the Treaty of Arras in 1435 ; and to publish all the treaties between that year and the ' The treaties in the first edition, pub- lished at Antwerp in 1644, are ten in number, and range from A.D. 1526 to A.D. 1611. A second edition was pub- lished in 1650. In the third edition, pub- lished in 1664, there is added the treaty between France and Spain, made in the Isle of Faisans on the 7th of November 1659 and commonly known as the Pyre- neau treaty. Copies of the third edition are found with the treaty of Aix la Cha- pelle of the 12th of May 166S, added at the end. This little work is entitled to the honorable distinction of being the first direct collection of treaties ; the precursor of a loDg series of useful, and some of them very magnificent volumes. PREFACE. V seventeenth century, to which his fottr volumes, already compiled, were confined. In ten years he had collected nearly three hundred treaties concluded between France and various European govern- ments during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. These were added to his previous collections, which now amounted to nearly six hundred documents. The whole was published in six quarto volumes at Paris in 1693, and a seventh was added in 1697.^ A dissertation, upon the uses of the collection, dra'w'n up by Amelot de la Houssaie, was prefixed to the work. Contemporaneous with Leonard's " RecueU" another work of the The « Thea- same character was published in two volumes quarto at Nuremberg in the year 1685, under the title of "Theatrum Pacis." The seventy treaties, ranging between 1647 and 1660, of which this collection is composed, are translated into German. A second edition appeared in 1702. The spirit diffused by these publications extended itself into Nessel's Cata- other countries. M. de Nessel, librarian to the Emperor Leopold ties, at Vienna, meditated the idea of publishing the treaties of all nations from A.D. 1400 to A.D. 1685. Failing, however, to attain that completeness at which he aimed, he published at Vienna in 1690 a catalogue of the documents intended to be included in his work, inviting the attention and aid of the literary world. It contains the titles of more than fifty treaties between England and various foreign states. The diplomatic collection which immediately preceded " Eymer's Leibnitz's Foedera," and may almost be said to be its prototype, was Gentium Diplo- the " Codex Juris Gentium Diplomaticus," of Godefrid William Ss'^MaatSl" Leibnitz.^ It was ublished at Hanover in March 1693, only ' It may te stated here that Leonard's collection contains many documents relat- ing to England, which do not occur in the " Foedera." A list of them -will be foxmd in the Appendix to the next volume. With all its imperfections, Leonard's Eecneil deserves to be regarded as a work of great importance in the history of diplomatic literature, and especially as a most honour- able proof of the indefatigable diligence of its compiler. ' In his letter dated 1 March 1693, prefixed to his preface of the " Codex " Juris Gentium Diplomaticus," he writes, " Cseterum Codex iste non Germanicis tan- " turn aut alterius populi rebus astringitur, " sed pleraque Europaea attingit : nee tan- " turn pacificationum tabulas et foedera, " aliave, qu83 vulgo Tractatuum nomine " censentur ; sed et contractus matrimo- " niales Principum, testamenta, adoptiones, " varias obligationes, pacta, conventa et " alienationes ; uniones territoriorum, li- " mitum designationes ; commerciorum, " navigationam, et in eam rem initarum " societatum articulos ; recessus conven- " tuum publicorum, edicta rem publicam " afficientia ac leges fundamentales ; at- " que etiam nonnulla Conciliorura geue- " ralium acta singularia, concordata natio- " num,aliaqueadrem publicam Christiana- " rum gentium pertinentia ; txaa arbitraria " vel lauda, et res judieatas ; belli denun- " ciationes vel diflSdationes, protestationes. VI PKEFACE. a few months before the "Foedera" -wag pBOJected; The in- fluence it exercised over the English editor will be noticed hereafter. The compilation of Leibnitz, taken in conjunction with the "Mantissa/'i which he subsequently published, comprehends treaties and other " Acta publica" from, the end of the eleventh to the end of the fifteenth century. Leibnitz, like De Nessel, regarded his collections as a contribution to that literature from which the science of the diplomatist and the law of nations were to be gathered, rather than as furnishing materials for history. He has, however, in his preface to the " Mantissa,"^ dwelt upon the use of diplomatic instruments for the latter purpose, in a manner which proves that he was fully alive to the subject, never forgetting, how- ever, that its prime use was as a " Codex Juris Gentium," for the statesman and practical lawyer. Moeijens'Dutch Simultaneously with the appearance of the "Codex Juris Gentium," if not before its actual publication, Adrian Moetjens, a bookseller at the Hague, in conjunction with other publishers, projected a Dutch Collection of Treaties, in which he designed to incorporate such diplomatic documents as had ever been published in any part of Europe.* " expostnlationes, rerum repititiones et " fecialia manifesta ; confiscationes, des- " titutiones, depositiones ; et contra elec- " tiones, hominia, investituras, caeremonia- " rum Bolennia, dispensationes, priTilegia " majora, aureasqne et plumbeas buEas " ad rem facientes ; creationes quoqne " novarum dignitatnm ac principatuura " quin et regnorum erecriones, aliaque id " genus plura continebit." ' Mantissa Codicis Juris Gentium Diplo- matici Godefridi Guilielmi Leibnitii. — (Ed. 1747. praef. p. 14.) ^ In his preface to the "Mantissa," Leibnitz gives the following account of the success of the " Codex Juris Gentium " Diplomaticus :" — " Anni sunt septem, " quod specimen edidi majoris opens, quo " Acta publica juris Gentium seleCta, et ut " verbo dicam, Diplomata majora collige- " rentur : unde Codicem Juris Gentium, " eumque Viploniaticum appellavi. Cum " enim Geites nulla superiore in terns " potestate contineantur, sunt illis pro " legibus, qnas ipsi dixere ; vel tabulis " vel moribus introductis, qui saepe scrip- " turis istis comprobantur. Gratanter " accepta est passim voluntas bene merendi " mea i viris doctis et in repubEca ver- " satis; ipsisque etiam probata Kegibus, ' ' Frincipibus, et rerum administris. Itaque, " ex Archive Anglise Eegio, Septentrione " etiam «t GiUia, Italiaqne submissa sunt " non pauca ; et in Germania potissimum, " Serenissimus ac Potentissimus Princeps " Elector Brandenburgicus instituto favit." ' We learn, from the very interesting preface to this work, that the community of booksellers derived considerable assis- tance, and procured copies of scarce dip- lomatic instruments, from various persons engaged in what appears to have been at that time a favourite occupation — collecting and ifldexing treaties. The "Recneil" of Leonard, the "Codex" of Leibnitz, and upwards of fifiy other publications, were examined, and after many years of preparation the booksellers obtained the materials for their comprehensive work. It was published at Amsterdam and the Hague in 1700, in four folio volumes. The ar- rangement of the articles, the titles, and the preface, were the work of Jaques Bernard, a Erench Protestant exile, who had edited se- veral works connected with diplomatic lite- rature. He afterwards held a professorship at Leyden, and was for a time editor of the "Nouvelles de la republique des Lettres.' ' PREFACE. VU The greaii avidity with which collections of this kind were sought The diplomatiu for at the close of the set enteenth century, and the popularity of the continent such publications, undoubtedly had a share in the production of the p^° *;„„ „£ English " Foedera." In one year Leonard published his Recueil at ^^« I'oedera. Paris, Leibnitz his Codex at Hanover, Moetjens had issued his prospectus, and De Nessel was forming his collections at Vienna. Such being the condition of diplomatic literature upon the Continent in 1693, it was scarcely possible for England, with her vast stores of muniments, to have remained uninfluenced by such examples. She did not eonturae long passive, but took steps to place herself on a par at least with the other kingdoms of Europe. Before I inquire what were the measures adopted by England to Oripn of the place herself in this position by the publication of the " Foedera," oasly attributed it is essential to notice an error on the subject into which Dr. Adam ^yio^e.^^ ^ Clarke, the principal editor of the latest edition of the " Fcedesra," has been led by Sir Joseph AyloflFe.'- According to Ayloffe's statement, attributed by Dr. Clarke to Thomas Astle, keeper of the Tower Kecords,^ it appears "that " Mr. Harley, afterwards Earl of Oxford, soon after the accession of The materials, however, of this new " Ee- " oueil," were collected solely hy the book- sellers, and Bernard's name did not appear upon it. The work professes to range from the Nativity to the period of publication, but no treaty occurs earlier than A.D. 536. The first volimie contains documents be- tween that period and A.D. 1500. The second, to which is prefixed the introduction written by Amelot de la Houssaie for Leo- nard's " Kecueil," extends from A.D. 1500 to 1600. The third volume comes down to A.D. J 660 ; and the fourth to A.D. 1700. This work, which unquestionably excels its predecessors, as weE in completeness as in style and manner of its execution, sold rapidly, and within a few years became so scarce that copies of it which occurred at auctions produced as much as ISO florins. The booksellers, copsequently, soon began to prepare for a new edition. They procured the editorial assistance of M.Dumont, the Imperial Historiographer, who was enabled to incorporate many new documents from the Imperial Archives, the Royal library at Berlin, and his own col- lections during fifteen years. He also took advantage of the various diplomatic works which had appeared since the publication of tlite . Dutch " Becueil," and " surtout des " actes de Rymer." Thus was laid the foundation of the " Corps Universal Diplo- matique du droit des gens," published at Amsterdam and the Hague in 14 volumes folio, afterwards increased by six supple- mentary volumes edited by Barbeyrac, and continued by the " Eeeueil " of Eousset in 21 volumes 8vo. These works were all published subsequently to the appearance of the Foedera, but they had their origin in undertakings conceived^ if not commenced, about the same period as our own collection. ' The "Introduction" to .the Calendars of the Ancient Charters, &c., published aiionymously in 1772, and under the name of Ayloffe in 1774, is said to have been written by Thomas Astle. ^ Although Asfle has the credit of having written the Introduction to the Calendars of the Ancient Charters, pub- lished anonymously in 1772, and after- wards under the name of Sir Joseph Ayloffe in 1774, yet in Astie's letter to a select committee of the House of Lords, dated 1st December 1788, he makes no allusion to the statement about Harley. He writes thus, " My Lords, your Lordships " having been pleased on the 12th inst. to " ask my opinion concerning the accuracy •' of the Foedera by Kmyer and Sanderson, VIU PEEFACE. Halifax and Somers the originators of the Foedera. ! " King William and Queen Mary to the throne, formed a plan for " printing, at the public expense, all the leagues, treaties, alliances, " capitulations, and confederacies which had at any time been made " between the Crown of England and other kingdoms, princes, and " states, intermixed with such instruments and papers of State as " either more immediately related to them, or were curious and " useful in illustrating the English History. He communicated " this design to the Earl of Halifax,^ who laid the same before the " Queen (the King being then with his army in Flanders), who " was pleased to approve of it, and to appoint Mr. Rymer, " Historiographer Eoyal, to carry the design into execution." Mr. Harley's interference in this matter may be questioned, for no evidence of ifc exists, except Ayloffe's allegation, made nearly a century after the publication of the " Foedera " was first projected. But there is other evidence for supposing that Ayloffe was mis- taken. Madox, the author of the " History of the Exchequer," in his Epistolary Dissertation, written in the year ] 708, and prefixed to the " Ancient Dialogue on the Exchequer," enumerated among the reasons which induced him to dedicate his work to Lord Halifax " and conceiving it to be my duty to pay " attention to any question coming from " your Lordships, I desire permission to lay " before the committee what has since oc- " curred to me, and what I have been able " to collect concerning the reputation of the " editors of this work, as well as the work " itself. I find that in the year 1692 " Mr. Kymer was appointed Historiogra- " pher to King William ; his first warrant, " empowering him to search the PubUc " Eefcords for the materials which compose " the Poedera, is dated 26 August 1693. " His authorities were renewed by warrant " from Queen Anne, dated May 3rd, 1707, " when Mr. Sanderson was joined with " him in the undertaking. Mr. Bymer " died Dec. 14th, 1713. He was esteemed " a man of considerable learning, and is " generally allowed to have been an " excellent antiquary and historian. After " his death, Mr. Sanderson continued to " add to the collection, &c. " I beg leave to acquaint your Lordships " that for a course of twenty-five years " and upwards I have had frequent " occasion to consult the Fcedera, which I " have considere(^ as a work of authority." There is not, it will be observed, the slightest reference here to " Harley's Plan," nor any allusion to the want of correctness of the Poedera, both of which points are brought prominently forward in the Intro- duction to the " Calendars of the Ancient Charters " ascribed to Astle. ' Astle has here committed a slight anachronism, Charles Montague was not created Baron Halifax until 13th Dec. 1700, and Earl of Halifax on the 19th of Oct. 1714. Charles Montague, bom on the 1 6th of April 1661, was the son of the Honorable George Montague. He was educated at Westminster, and chosen King's scholar in 1677, At school he contracted a more than ordinary degree of friendship with Mr. George Stepney, whose name is con- nected with Rymer and Leibnitz. The two friends went to Trinity College, Cam- bridge, together, where they encouraged each other in their love of poetry. Mon- tague was a fellow of Trinity in 1684, and his verses on the death of Charles the Second attracted the attention of the Earl of Dorset, who invited him to London. George Stepney, who had also written on the same subject, was also in- vited, but declined the invitation out of PREFACE. IX the part taken by his Lordship in promoting the publication of the " Foedera." ' ' This statement of Madox is confirmed by Dr. Wliite Kennet, afterwards Bishop of Peterborough.* A third witness to the origin of the work is Dr. Edmund Calamy, author of the " Lives of the Nonconformists," and who, mixing a great defal with the literary men of the period, had ample oppor- tunities of knowing the truth.^ love of a retired life. In 1688 Montague signed the invitation to the Prince of Orange to come over to England. He pur- chased the place of one of the clerks of the Council, and not long afterwards the Earl of Dorset, who had been made Lord Cham- berlain, introduced him to the King, with whom he soon became a favorite. In 1688-9 he was made one of the commis- sioners of the Treasury, and during his Majesty's absence from the Kingdom in 1698, being then first commissioner, he was appointed one of the Lords Justices of England. He was created a Peer on the 13th of December 1700, by the title of Baron of Halifax, and Earl of Halifax on the accession of George the Eirst. He died on the 15th of May 1715. There is a por- trait of Montague in the Combination Room of Trinity College, Cambridge. • Speciatim vero, hoc potissimum nomine a me celebrandus es, quod nempe Histo- riceu Scientiamque Antiquariam promovere ourasti.

Quod quidem opus gratia Serenissima! Eeginaj Annje etiam num ut cunqne pergit. ' In his second letter to Nicolson, Bishop of Carlisle, on the subject of Bishop Merks (8vo. Lond. 1716), he there notices a charge bronght against Eymcr of having suppressed certain docu- ments to suit party purposes. He says — " My blood was a little quick at this para- " graph. Surely thought I, if the writer " could not spare the Times, nor the " adverse party, yet he might have spared Mr. Thomas Rymer, and not have made the honest man such a tool as to pick out the instruments that made for the present Civil Government to be published, while he suppressed the most material relating to the interest of the church and clergy. Your Lordship has had great ' opportunities to know the truth of that matter, and I think you can better relate ' it to this effect, that in the happy and victorious part of the Queen's reign some of the prime ministers, especially the Lords Somers and Halifax, assisted by the Bishops of Canterbury, Sarum, ajid Norwich, (nor was your Lordship wanting,) did consult of a better way to preserve the records in the Tower, did ' move it in the House of Peers, and had ■ a standing committee appointed for it, who from time to time came to several • resolutions for searching out and digest- ing the original rolls and papers, for providing and tram|ng a better repository ■ for them, for committing them to a safer custody, and for securing an easier access to them. It was under the ihfluence of this public spirit that it was thought it ' would be a benefit and credit to the ' nation to print and publish a collection (in order of time) of authentic copies ' of the original instruments more espe- ' cially relating to peace and war treaties, ' articles and other intercourse with foreign states and princes. Mr. Rymer, as ' Historiographer Royal, was appointed ■ to collect them, and Mr. Churchill to print them, upon the public account, and ■ (which was pity) in too small a number ' of copies, for presents only and public respect, not for common sale. Mr. Rymer was obliged to trust to other hands, not only in the transcribing, but in the ■ selecting of materials for them. When he came to review them in the single ■ sheets he threw by several of them." " In his historical account of his own X PREFACE. But the testimony of Leibnitz, whose connexion with the House of Hanover and with many Englishmen gave him means of acccu- rate information on such a subject as this, puts the question beyond dispute. He was a literary friend and correspondent of Rymer, was personally acquainted with Lord Halifax, was intimate with his most famUiar friend Stepney,^ and took, as will hereafter appear, great interest in Eymer's work. Among some of his memoranda upon literary subjects we find the following: "Promovit " quidem editipnem actorum publicorum AngHcanorum Rymeri " Halifax, primus Gazophylacii commissarius ; sumtus autem ex " serario publico facti sunt."^ In another place Leibnitz writes to the effect that Lord Halifax, first Commissioner of the Treasury, certainly forwarded Rymer 's " Acta Publica Anglicana," but the cost was defrayed by the public* The testimony of these writers may be thought to go no farther than that Lord Somers* and Lord Halifax were great promoters of life he -writes, " At this trouhlesome time " was a foundation laid for the noble col- " lection of Eymer's Foedera, a work so " useful to the English History, containing " a collection of all the leagues, treaties, " alliances, capitulations, and confederacies " at any time made between the Crown *' of England and any other kingdoms, " princes, and states, &c. For the per- " feetiug which Queen Mary signed an " order, bearing date August 26th, 1693, " which gave him /ree access to search " the Becords in the Tower, the Rolls, " the Augmentation OiEce, the Exchequer, " the Journals of Parliament, and the " Paper Office, and to transcribe what " was for his purpose, without paying any '• fees, &c. Of this noble work, as well " as that of digesting the Records and " Archives of the Kingdom, that would " otherwise have lain in dust and oblivion, " into a proper order, the first promoter " was Charles Earl of Halifax. Upon " that account, as well as several others, " his name is to be mentioned with " honour." Dr. Calamy's History of his Life and Times, i. 319. 1 Speaking of those who had assisted him, Leibnitz thus mentions Rymer, who had been introduced to him by George Stepney. " Hoc autem praestitit inprimls couciliata " mihi benevolentia V. CI. Thomae Rymeri " in Ineem proferendis Anglise tabulis Regio " jussu destinati, de quo mox plura dicam." Again, speaking of Rymer, he says that he had printed the title of his intended work : " Sed et Th. Eymerus supra landatns " Pandectis Anglicanamm Tabularum jam " titulum in typos prseire jussit." ' Opera Omnia Edit. 1786, v. 191. ^ Es hat my Lord Halifax, erster com- missarius von der Schatzkammer zwar des Herm Eymers Acta Publica Anglicana bef ordert, die Kosten aber sind anch Pub- Kco dazu hergesohossen worden. Es wird auch das werk nach Herrn Eymers Tode fortgesetzet. (Leibnitz Deutsche Schriften. Guhrauer, Berlin 1838, vol. ji., p. 487.) ^ .Tohn Somers was bom at Worcester about the year 1651. The exact date can- not be ascertained, as no register of his birth has been discovered. He was the son of John Somers, a successful attorney in that, city, and Catherine Ceavem, of a respectable family in Shropshire. He re- ceived the earlier part of his education under Dr. Bright at the college school at "Worcester, and was matriculated and admitted at Trinity CoUege, Oxford, on the 23rd March 1667-8, when he was only sixteen years of age. He left the University without taking a degree, and became clerk to his father. He continued in that capacity up to 24th May 1669, when he was entered as a student of the Middle Temple, and became a pupU of Sir Francis Winnington. Feeling dissatisfied with his defective education, he returned to Oxford in the year 1674, being then in the 24th year of his age, but still keeping his PREFACE, XI the work, leaving untouehed the question of its haAdng originated with them or with any other person. The next statement bears directly upon that point. It proceeds from Le Clerc, a man thoroughly conversant with the European literature of his time. Le Clerc received from Lord Halifax copies of the volumes of the Fcedera as they were published ;^ and by a series of articles in his " Bibliotheques " made known the value of the work. The first of these articles, written by himself, and published at Amsterdam in the 16th volume of the " Bibliotheque Choisie," contains informa- tion of importance to the present purpose. After praising highly the enlarged views of the Government which had carried out an undertaking of such magnitude, under the pressure of an expensive war, he acknowledges his obligations to Lord Halifax, " dont le merite est connu de tout le monde, non seulement " en Angleterre, mais encore dega la raer." Then, cursorily com- menting on the contents of the first volume, he finds himself, at the close of his remarks, on the verge of a metaphysical discussion, and suddenly breaks off thus ^ " Je ne veux pas m'engager dans ce f' sujet, qui est de plus grande ^tendere que bien des gens ne " pensent, en finissant cet extrait. II vaut mieux avertir le public, " qu'il a I'obligation du premier dessein de ce KecueH h. my lord " Halifax et it my lord Sommers, qui I'ont aussi soutenu depuis."^ terms at the Middle Temple. On tlie 5th of May 1676 he was called to the bar. Having mastered the common law under Winning- ton, he devoted himself to the civil law and the study of modem languages. In the be- ginning of May 1689 he was made Solicitor General; and on the 2nd ofMayl692 At- torney General. On the 23rd March follow- ing he became Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, and on the 22nd April 1697 was created Lord Chancellor, and called to the Peerage by the title of Lord Somers, Baron of Evesham. That he omitted no opportunity of continuing and improving his acQuaintance with constitutional studies may be inferred from his expeniUng the large sum of 700Z. in procuring records and precedents upon which to found his judgnient m the celebrated Bankers case. In this: judgment he stated " that he had " caused the ' Liberate ' Bolls and the " bundles of petitions at the Tower to be " seardhedi from the beginning of King " John's time as low as the records there " go, and had some extracts made from " them.'' The whole judgment shows a most Ultimate acquaintance with Becords. His private papers, which would pro- bably have thrown light upon the origin of the Foedera as well as upon many other im- portant transactions, were unfortunately lost to the world in the year 17.52, having been destroyed in the fire which consumed the Chambers of the Honorable Charles Yorke, No. 10, New Square, Lincoln's Inn, and out of sixty volumes quarto a few mutilated fragments oiJy being saved. Lord Somers was removed from the Chancellorship in April 1700, impeached by the House of Commons in 1701, and acquitted by the Lords. Hediedon the 26th of April 1716, and was buried in the parish church of North Mymms. Lord Campbell does not seem to have been aware of the active interest taken by Lord Somers in the Fcedera. ' In the Appendix XXV. will be found a list of the several persons to whom the Government presented copies of the Fcedera. Lord Halifex had thirteen copies, a fact which certainly adds to the pro- bability of his being the instigator of the work. ^ Bibl. Choisie, xvi. p. 60, Edit. 1726. xii PREFACE. To these testimonies may be added that of a writer whose means of information were not less accurate than those of the persons ah-eady mentioned, Peter des Maizeaiix, the friend and correspondent of Bayle, who was in London during the whole period of the publication of the "Fcedera/' and entertained a design of compiling an Historical Dictionary after the manner of Bayle. Among his collections, now in the British Museum, is an unfinished life of Eymer, in which the following passage is found in allusion to the "Foedera"; " Ce Becueil, qui fait tant d'honneur k I'Angleterre, " avoit ete projettd par deux des plus grands hommes de nostre " siecle, my Lord Somers et my Lord Halifax. Le Public leur " en est redevable." ^ Thus, with some few discrepancies, Madox, Kennet, Le Clerc, and Des Maizeaux concur in attributing the publication to Lord Somers and Lord Halifax jointly ; and the words of Calamy and Leibnitz by no means exclude the subsequent co-operation of Lord Somers. They merely seem to attribute the original notion to Lord Halifax.^ That these facts were unknown to Sir Joseph Ayloffe or Thomas Astle is not surprising, because much of the evidence that is now extant was not at that time to be obtained. The like excuse, however, cannot be extended to Dr. Adam Clark. He was espe- cially directed to inquire into the origin of the " Fcedera," and he wrote two or three elaborate reports on the subject ; in each of which he gives the whole credit of the design to Kobert Harley, by whom, he states, it was communicated to Lord Halifax. It is difficult to account for Harley's supposed connexion with the work ; but the proof is ample that he is not entitled to this honou.r.* We have the direct assertion of Madox in the year 1708, — while Harley ' The sketch of the life of Eymer is to be found in the volume of Biographical Collec- tions of Dr. Thomas Birch, now in the Bri- tish Museum (MS. Addit. No. 4423, f. 1 61). It is proved to be the handwriting of Des Maizeaux by comparison with some of his letters in one of the Harleian MSS. - Another testimony, though not quite contemporaneous, yet earlier than the alle- gation which occurs in Sir Joseph Ayloffe's Preface, may be added to the foregoing. It is that of Tindal, the {xanslator of Rapin's History of England, m 1743. In his preface he says, " However, when he " came to the reign of Henry II., he was " on the point of relinquishing his work, " of which the beginning gave him no " encouragement, when an unexpected " assistance not only induced him to " continue it, but also to form the project " of a much larger history than what he " at first intended. This assistance was " Bymer's Fcedera, communicated to our " author by the famous Le Clerc, to whom, " being then publishing at the Government " charge, the volumes were sent by the " Lord Halifax, a. great promoter of that " noble work." ^ The origin of attributing the scheme to Harley may have arisen from the fact that he was Lord Treasurer of Great Britain when Kj-mer died, and nominated Sanderson to continue the work. PREFACE. xiu was Speaker of the House of Commons, and at the same time one of the Principal Secretaries of State, and when Kymer was in the plenitude of his reputation, having published six volumes of his work; — that Halifax and Somers were the authors of the scheme for collecting and publishing the national Acts of this Realm. If Harley, then, had had any connexion with the first suggestion of the publication or of projecting the plan, surely Madox would have made some allusion to him ; Rymer too, who was intimately acquainted with Madox, would not have remained silent. Other circumstances tend to show that Harley was not in any way a party to this publication. (l.) At the time the " Foedera" was first undertaken he was a member of the House of Commons, in direct opposition to the Government, of which Somers and Montague were members: Somers being then Attorney-General and Montague one of the Commissioners of the Treasury. (ii.) No contemporary writer, so far as it is at present known, ever asserted that Harley had a share in the origin of that work, nor is it claimed for him in any published biography, or in the one written by Dr. Zachary Gray which remains in manuscript ;' nor has anything been found respecting it among the Harleian MSS. in the British Museum. (ill,) In the Biography of Montague, printed in the year 1715, it is positively stated that he was the first promoter of " Rymer's Foedera," ^ and, as far as Somers is more immediately concerned, a personal dislike appears to have existed between him and Harley.^ Under all these circumstances, it is clear that the assertion of AyloiFe, made eighty years after the event, is not sufficient to outweigh the previous statement of contemporary persons. Whether or not Rymer suggested the " Foedera " to Somers ' See Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, ii. 547. This booli is now in the posses- sion of Mr. John Gough Nichols, and was carefully examined by my friend Mr. John limce, who assures me of the fact. ' The Works and Life of the Eight Honourable Charles late Earl of Halifax, including the History of his Lordship's Times. London, 1715. In the dedication to George Earl of Halifax, the author says of Earl Charles': — "His singular goodwill to posterity, " in being the first promoter of Rymer's " Fa;dera, and of digesting the records and " archives of the kingdom, that would " otherwise have lain in dust and oblivion, " into a proper order.'' 3 In the Life of Somers, 8™., 1716, p. 119, is mentioned the very rough answer which is reported to have been given by Lord Somers to a person who advised him to be upon friendly terms with Harley.

" sion to examine the archives ; as the History of Brunswick (with " which I sometimes occui)y myself) has a great connexion with " that of England, at certain periods, especially during the 12th " and 13th centuries, I hope Mr. Rymer will be able to favour us " with many things, and we should not be ungrateful If we could " have, by his means, catalogues of documents and manuscripts, we " should be much obliged, for then a selection might be made from " them. One of my friends has a Latin history of the church of " Ely, very old, which might throw light on the history of England, " and I could furnish many other documents of that nature. As to " Dr. Smith, I will write direct to him, but not having the honour " of Mr. Rymer 's acquaintance I hope that your interposition may be " useful to me."^ There can be no doubt that the formal introduction of Rymer to Leibnitz was effected by Stepney, for Leibnitz writes as follows : " Ex Anglia misit aliqua Gilbertus Burnetus, reverendissimus " Sarisberiensium episcopus ; in quo pro meritis provehendo res " publica literariaque certavere, et qui tot aliis doctrinis laudibusque " etiam actorum publicorum perquisitionem conjunxit. Prsetere^ " Stepneius, Ablegatus Regius, non minus gerendis principum " negotiis, quam eorum gestis prosa versaque eloquentia ornandis " aptus, obtinuit nobis insignia ex publicis tabulariis monumenta, " quae cum pleraque historiam Brunsvicensem aliquando illustrare " possint, nonnulla tamen etiam hinc prsesenti operi convenire sunt " visa. Hoc autem prajstitit inprimis conciliata mihi benevolentia " V. CI. Thomse Rymeri in lueem proferendis Anglise tabulis Regie " jussu destinati, de quo mox plura dicam." Shortly afterwards he states that Rymer had printed the title of his intended work : " Sed et Th. Rymerus supra laudatus pandectis Anglicarum tabu- " larum jam titulum in typos prseire jussit." A rough draft of one of Rymer's letters in Latin to Leibnitz^ is still in existence ; it bears no date, but it must have been written shortly after Stepney had made the two scholars acquainted with each other; probably in 1695. He writes, " When I first heard, " from the most learned Dr. Smith, that you were engaged upon " the antiquities of Brunswick, I immediately arranged for copying " whatever came in my way, and afterwards for sending them to you " through our friend Stepney. If they are at all useful to you, I " shall rejoice, and desire nothing further, as I know how greatly See Appendix XL s gee Appendix .XII. PREFACE. xxxiii " I am obliged in many ways to you, who have shone with such " gi-eat praise, as my guide and predecessor in this province. I " feel the greatest possible gratitude to you on that account. Your " kindness touches me more keenly respecting the treaty you " intend to send me as a present, although I possess it already, and " indeed almost everything relating to us, which has a place in " your 'Codex Diplomaticus.' I am eagerly expecting a second " volume from you, and, if I hear that you are desirous of anything " in particular, I promise most willingly, as far as lies in my power, " to send it to you. For your second volume I have selected a " treaty embellished with a golden seal, which has been copied for a " long time. It is the treaty between Henry YIII. and Francis I. " King of France, of which Spelman, in his Glossary, under the " word ' Bulla,' and Du Cange also under the word ' Bulla,' say " that a duplicate (that is the other part of the ratification) is " preserved in the French Archives. With it I send an impressiod " of the gold seal. Kj letters to you have been delayed, because " I have been waiting for a visit from Mr. Berry, by whom, as I am " informed, your letters to me were brought over. But it is not easy ' to find him, as he is always employed in the affairs of princes " and upon business, while I am kept at hard work in the Koyal •' Archives, hidden from the eyes of men, and where I grub and dig " daily among decaying parchments covered with dirt and mildew. " Here the autographs of princes, which have long time lain in dark- " ness and decay, nay even buried, at length arise and see the light, " by the favour of King William, under whose auspices we hope " for light and liberty. Much remains to be done, but in a short " time I shall make a truce, and prepare my first volume for the " press. I will send you the first pages. Be gracious to my at" " tempts, and may God preserve you." W^e have here a faithful view of Eymer at work in the wooden partition in the Chapter House, Westminster, where Thoresby visited him several times, amid dirt and mildew, to which he more than once touchingly alludes in his memorials to the Treasury. A letter in Latin addressed to him by Leibnitz, dated 16-2G Jul}' 1695, runs thus :^ "I have already shown my appreciation of " your gifts by my many expressions of thanks. There are some " among them which have enlightened me, especially the charter of " Otto, which he granted to the people of Oleron. I did not know ' See Appendix XUI. XXXIV PEEFACE. " that our countryman Otto bore the title of Duke of Aqiiitain. If " anything else occurs, do not forget us. Your friend Stepney, an " excellent man, and deserving not less of the whole community than " of your King, sent me an advertisement of yours in the London " Newspaper,^ inviting the assistance of those who can contribute " to your project of collecting the documents of the kingdom. I " consider it the same as if you had sent it to me. That there are " some documents in my hands you wiU judge from what I have " inserted in my ' Codex Diplomaticus ;' I did not use aU of them, •* as I announced that I should content myself with the more select; " I confess that I have not now all I once had ; but I hope to be '' able to recover them when I hear that they will be of service " to you, although I should think that you wanted but little — ^the " Archives of the kingdom being at your disposal. I send you now " a specimen of my good will. I found among my documents a " treaty between Philip King of France and Edward King of " England, confirming the treaty, edited by me, between their " fathers St. Louis and Henry the Third. As to the rest, let me " know more fully about your magnificent plans. I see that Thomas " Gale, a most famous man, in the preface to the Authors of your " Country, edited by him, wished for some one to illustrate the " history of your country in such a way that he would seem to " have foretold you. Farewell. Hanover, 16/26 July 1695." On the 13-23 of January 1696, Leibnitz wrote again to Rymer.2 He says, "While expressing to my friend the accus- " tomed good wishes for the new year, I also wish to pray that " everything may be fortunate and happy for you, that you may " duly complete what has been so gloriously begun for the good " of the community. I have obtained the most profitable j6xiit " of my labours on the Codex Diplomaticus, as I hear that my' " attempts have instigated you to a useful examination of the ' (Copy of Advertisement.)

I should wish to obtain the will " of Henry VIII., unless you think it is one of those things which " cannot be easily communicated. Coke, unless I am mistaken, " asserted in the action against Garnet, that the Pope of Rome " promised his sanction of the English Liturgy and other such things " for the purpose of enticing Queen Elizabeth. It would be worth " while to have these letters of the Pope, as well as the aliena- " tion of the goods of the church, confirmed in the reign of Mary " by the authority of Cardinal Pole, that the nobility might not " suspect a change. Moreover, the suppression of the monasteries " by Wolsey, under the authority of the Bishop of Rome, while " Henry was still attached to that party, is also worthy of remem- " "brance, and it would be well to have the Papal Bull concerning it. " I would not dare to ask all these of you ; but if any of them " can be conveniently granted, I will add it to the number of your ** kindnesses. You have caused me great joy by informing me of " your plan for hastening the publication of the first fruits of your " great work, about which I hope to learn more as soon as possible. " Thomas Gale, your countryman, a most learned man, in his pre- " face to the " Scriptores Britannici XV.," says that Magna Charta, " the mother of your laws, is not now extant in its original form ; " but I suppose that search had not then been made, and that you " may have seen it. Some persons, it is said, are inteiiding to " build up the whole body of your history. They will be wonder- " fully assisted by your work, though I doubt not that the rest of " Europe will owe very much to you from the connexion of Euro- " pean history with that of England. Farewell. Hanoyer, 13-23 " January 1696." Several other letters passed between these two friends on the subject of their similar pursuits, but unfortunately they are not to be found. Two or three others, which, I believe, have never been printed, appear in the Appendix, but the one the most to be desired has not occurred. It relates to the second title- page issued by Rymer, which Leibnitz translated into Latin and printed in his " Mantissa Codicis Juris Gentium Diplo- matici," to which I have already alluded. After acknowledging there his obligations to his English correspondents. Bishop Burnet, George Stepney, Dr. Thomas Smith, and Rymer, Leibnitz says, "We are now looking forward to the appearance of the c2 XXXVl PREFACE. " great and important work of Thomas Rymer, who will deserve " the gratitude of the political and literary world for bringing to " light out of the obscure recesses of the Archives, to which they " have until now been condemned, so many of the ancient monu- " ments of England. Engravings will also appear of the seals and " signatures appended or subjoined to the ancient charters. Moved " as he himself confesses by our example, he has also prescribed to " himself the same limit of date as that with which our first volume " begins, sc. the year 1101 of the Christian era. But he has enjoyed " one most important advantage denied to us ; that of access to " original documents. And thus, while we are generally compelled " to content ourselves with transcripts, and have frequently been " left in utter doubt, he has been able to pronounce with perfect " certainty on the true readings of the documents with which he " has dealt. We trust other nations will be excited by the " example of England to publish their manuscript treasures for " the use of history and international law. Thus innumerable " facts will become known, some illustrating the chronology and " causation of events, the origin and vicissitudes of families, which " are now erroneously narrated ; others again geography ; and in " fact every kind of literature at present utterly unknown. But " we will here present the published title of Rymer's work, in the " later and fuller form (and no intelligent person will find fault " with its fulness), which by the kindness of the author has reached " our hands.'' It is unfortunate that the letter conveying this title-page cannot be found, as it would probably have contained other in- formation relating to the Foedera not generally known. A thorough search has been made at the British Museum and elsewhere for a copy of the title-page, but without success. I am, therefore, compelled to give an English translation of the Latin version of Leibnitz.1 It shows Rymer's intention respecting the plan of the FcEdera, and how far he had departed from it, when he began to print his work. It runs thus :— "Pandects of leagues, conventions, alliances, letters, appoint- " ments, obligations, grants, renunciations, and treaties whatsoever, ' Leibnitz -imtes : " Pandectaj Foedcrum, Conventionum, Alligantiarum, literarum, appunctuamentorum, obligationum, con- cessionum, renuuciationmn, et traotatuum quorumcunque, inter Keges Anglia;, ex una parte, et Imperatores, Eeges, Poutifices, communitates, aliosve quosvis principes sive potestates, ex altera, ab ineunte sseculo duodecmo, vidz. ab Anno Domini 1 loi, ad nostra usque tempora, secundum temporum seriem digestse; instrumenta omnimoda, chirographata indentata, per alphabetum PEEFACE.

" lastly, most efficacious to soften rancours between nations, to con- " ciliate peace everywhere, and to renew, establish, and strengthen " ancient leagues of amity, good understanding, and commerce." The reputation of Leibnitz was thus made available in spreading throughout Europe a knowledge of the contents of the forthcoming work, and in keeping alive the interest which had already been excited respecting it in England and on the continent. Still, how- ever, the work itself did not appear. Symer was busy in his collections, and continued to amass materials.^ That fact was universally known; why then was the work so long delayed? However necessary it may have been at that time to hidie the cause of the procrastination, the reason for concealment no longer exists, and the truth may now be told without disguised Want of funds to carry it on was the undoubted cause of the delay. In the Appendix XXVI. will be found an extraordinaiy document, which shows the state of insolvency of the Royal Treasury at that time. There was scarcely a public functionary whose salary was not in arrear, some for nearly three years; but when work was to be paid for out of funds arising from contingencies, the difficulty was greatly increased. The payment for the publication of the "Eoedera" was in this predicament. When the work was undertaken, no funds were specially appro- priated to its cost ; hence arose, not only delay in printing the work, but also injury and wrong to the unfortunate editor, who frequently had not only to find money for the payment of his assistants, but was himself allowed to remain unpaid for more than a year ; in addition to which, during the whole time before he commenced printing, nearly eleven years, he never received one farthing for himself by way of remuneration. ™l^t*f,^'° During the .period that Rymer was coUecting his materials forged charter, and before he commenced printing, his course was disturbed by an incident which threw some doubt upon his qualification for con- ducting so great a work as that which had been placed in his hands. He stumbled, in fact, at the very threshold of his record career. It is well known to those ^ho are conversant either with Scottish history or with the muniments in the Public Record Office that there is a document formerly belonging to the Chapter House collection, which purports to be Letters Patent by which Malcolm Canmore, King of Scotland and of aU the cii'cum- ' See Appendix XV. PREFACE, xxxix jacent islands, and his eldest son, Edward Earl of Carrick and Eothesay, acknowledge tbat they hold the whole kingdom of Scot- land and the adjacrait islands of Edward the Confessor by Uege homage and fealty, as their predecessors had done, and as appeared by ancient records of the Scottish crown ; and therefore, says the document " we become your men, O liege Lord, most serene Edward, " son of Ethelred, King of England, our Lord of the kiagdom of " Scotland and of all the circumjacent islands, during our lives, with " you and against all men to live and die, as your liege and faithful " subjects, and liege fealty will we bear to you and your heirs. In 'f witness whereof we have caused our seal to be affixed to these ", presents for ourself and our son, at York, the fifth day of June " in the ninth year of our reign, in the Parliament of our said Lord " superior there held : by the consent and advice of Margaret our " consort, the daughter of 'Edward the son of Edmund Ironside ** and of Edgar Atheling, the brother of our said consort, and of " many other magnates of our said kingdom." A fragment of a seal is pendant ; it is in brown wax, and impressed on one side with the Hon within the double tressm'e, the modern arms of Scotland ; on the reverse there is no impression. No one now entertains the slightest doubts that this is an ancient forgery ; but Rymer happened to discover this document; he unwisely, perhaps unwittingly, gave it an importance to which it was by no means entitled, by causing it to be engraved in fac-simile. The Scottish antiquaries, alarmed at this attack upon their national independence, at the time when the question of the Union was under discussion, took instant advantage of Rymer's indiscretion. A Latin treatise by Sir Thomas Craig upon the independence of the Scottish crown, which had hitherto remained in manuscript, was translated by Mr. George Kidpath, and published under the title of " Scotland's Sovereignty Asserted." ^ In a preface to this work the claims of the pretended charter were entirely demolished, and Rymer was convicted of having ignorantly engraved as the precursor of his collections an undoubted and palpable forgery.^ • 8™ Lond. 1695. 2 Hickss, Rymer's old schoolfellow, thus speaks of this charter, and of Rymer's ao- auaintance with .Anglo-Saxon literature, " Deniqqe agmen clandat ingemo excellens " et humaniorum literarum, praesertim dra- " maticsB poeeios, scientia clarus Thomas " Rymer, qui literaturae Saxoniose prorsus " ignarus, commentitium instrumentum " ante ducentos circiter annos fictum, " sigiUoque Malcolmi R.

His three letters to Bishop Nicolson, The subject was further alluded to in the following manner by Bishop Nicolson, in his " Scottish Historical Library," published in 1702. After mentioning Sir Thoma,s Craig's disquisition, he adds, that "Mr. Eymer lately occasioned its being translated into " English." He then proceeds, « Our EngHsh historiographer had " unluckily piinted a pretended form of homage said to have been " done by King Malcolm the Third to our Edward the Conf^sor ; « and to take off all objections that might be started about the " intent of the publication, 'twas alleged that this was only a fore- " runner of some volumes of public treaties which would shortly be " sent abroad. 'Twas an unlucky stumble on the threshold to begin « the work with such a counterfeit monument as this ; which Mr. " Kidpath (the translator of Mr. Craig's book) has deservedly exposed, " and convicted of several notorious and undeniable marks of " forgery."^ Some other subjects, which had been commented upon in the "Scottish Historical Library," induced Rymer shortly after this time to address several letters to Bishop Nicolson. He took advantage of the opportunity thus afforded him of departing from the discreet silence he had hitherto maintained, and referring to the charter of King Malcolm, he notices his own indiscretion in the following words : " Give me leave to warn you of a misrepresentation " your Lordship has somewhere met withall, touching my pub- " lishing a charter of homage by King Malcolm. My Lord, the " fact is I never did publish it, nor ever saw it in print, save in a " book by Mr. Kidpath. True it is I found such a thing in the " archives, and had it engraved, but had no design to publish it, " unless it should be in company with that famoixs league betwixt " Charlemagne and King Archaicus, the seals of them both being " exactly the same."^ While on the subject of Eynier's letter to Bishop Nicolson, it may be as well to allude to others connected with this subject.

Des Maizeaux* details the subject of the letter more fully, but substantially in the same manner as Leibnitz, adding that the point of Rymer's argument was " que ce Seaton n'etoit " pas Gouverneur de la place, mais le Chevalier Guillaume Keith," and he proved this fact " par les Archives."^ ' There is no entry of it in the books of the Stationers Company, permission to search which was given to me by the court- eous master of the Company, Mr. Hodgson.

By T. E., Esq." Some very interesting matter, connected with the remuneration Rymer received for his labours, has lately been brought to Hght. It was anything but encouraging: but I leave Eymer to tell his own story, or rather, the public documents which are still extant to teU it for him. The first pay. It wUl be observed that in Queen Mary's warrant^ no reference Zt!""'^' is made to the payment Rymer was to receive for his labours. Having commenced his work without any agreement with the Go- vernment as to his remuneration, he was now constantly compelled to petition the Crown for money to carry it on. As early as the 23rd of April 1694. (eight months after his appointment) he was obliged to apply to the King for money. His letter on the subject is stUl extant. It is curious, as showing how straitened the Government then was, and to what shifts the Trea- sury was driven in order to satisfy his just demands. Here was a scholar, assiduously devoting nine months to a great national work, and obliged to point out to his Sovereign the mode by which he might be remunerated for his labour. His petition to the King is thus curtly expressed : " To the King's most Excellent Majesty, " the petition of Thomas Rymer humbly sheweth that about 3 or 4 " years ago, upon the conviction of Gervas Cartwright, a Romish '•' priest, at Leicester, there was seized in money 2001. for your " Majesty's use by Mr. Will. Bentley, then mayor of Leicester, in " whose hands it still remains. And whereas your Majesty has " been graciously pleased to order that your petitioner transcribe and " publish the ancient leagues and treaties betwixt the Crown of " England and other nations, which wiU be a work of great charge, " it is therefore humbly prayed that your Majesty towards the " defraying of that charge may be pleased to grant the above men- " tioned 2001. to your petitioner." Rymer's petition was solemnly read before the King in his Court at Whitehall, and " his Majesty being graciously disposed to gratify " the petitioner in his request, is pleased to refer this petition to " the Right Honorable the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, to " consider thereof and report their opinion what his Majesty may ' See Appendix "VTII. PREFACE. Xliii *' fitly do therein, whereupon his Majesty will declare his farther " pleasure." The facts, las stated in Rymer's petition, were duly reported to the Treasury on the 25th of May following, and the first payment to the editor of the " Fcedera," towards his expenses, amounting to lOOl. (for he only obtained half of what he applied for), was ordered to be made out of the estate of the ill-fated Gervas Cartwright of Belgrave in the county of Leicester, who was indicted, convicted, and attainted of the crime of being a Romish Priest.^ It wiU thus be seen that the first payment to carry on the Rymer's diffi- " Fcedera " was derived from the forfeiture of a Eomish priest. In taining money the same year the Lords of the Treasury added another hundred J^/p^g°° pounds, making in all 200?. ; no part of which, however, was appro- priated to Rymer himself, as appears by the accounts which he rendered to the Treasury,^ In the next year, having expended 2501. for the Government and received nothing, not even the balance of IBSl. due to him for money out of pocket, he was again compelled to petition, and to point out a mode by which he might be paid. His peti- tion runs thus : — " To their Excellencies the Lords Justices. The " humble petition of Thomas Rymer, sheweth. That it is now (this " present month of August) three years since your petitioner was " employed to see transcribed and published the ancient Leagues " and public acts between the Crown of England and Foreign ■ The following letter from Aaron Smith, Solicitor to the Treasury for Law Affairs, relatirve to the forfeiture of Gervas Cart- wright in qonnexion with the payment to Rymer, wiU not be out of place.

The Lords Justices recommended the Treasury to pay the same, but Rymer was not benefitted by their recom- mendation. He, moreover, had now (1696) expended another 250?., making a total of 633?. This item in his account sent into the Treasury tells a lamentable tale. "For the year 1696, " Conceal'd money in the Teller's hand, sayed to be 300?., w"'' occa- " sioned a suit w^ Squib's Executors.

On the 30th of June 1697, the Lords of the Treasury directed that he should be paid 200?. by tally on malt to carry on his work ; but he seems to have been again disappointed, for we find him complaining to the Lords Justices in October 1697. This is evident from their letter of the 4th of October 1697 to the Lords of the Treasury, enclosing a petition from Eyraer,^ which the Lords Justices think very fit to be considered, and that he should be encouraged to proceed in so laborious and useful a work, as he is engaged on, by hisMajesty's special command, and since he hath been disappointed in what was formerly proposed, their Excel- lencies hope he may be gratified out of the forfeiture^ he now petitions for, and accordingly they refer and recommend it to their lordships' consideration. There is still extant a debtor and creditor account, showing the different sums expended and received by Rymer on account of the ' This petition is not extant. j 2 It probably refers to Sir John Freend's I estate. PREFACE. xlv "Foedera," by which it appears that he had spent the sum of 1,253?. during- the years 1694, neQS, 1696, 1697, and 1698, and had received only .500i!. The accounts of his receipts are curious, and reveal a sad story of the way in which literary men employed by the government were paid in those days. In 1697 he spent 2101. for the government, and received from the Lords of the Treasury " 2001. in lottery tickets, of which I made about 160?." In the year 1698 he expended for the government 210?., and received nothing. He again states that up to August 1698 he had expended 1,253?.'- and had received only 500?., so that there remained due to him 753?. He also states that " here are now two " volumes ready for the press, as now set forth in a memorial ^ •' to the Lords of the Treasury about two months since." The Lords of the Treasury thereupon order, on the 19th of August 1698, a sum of 200?. in part payment of his expenses. It does not appear whether Rymer received the 200?. which Parsimony of the ffovcni" the Lords of the Treasury had ordered in part payment of the ment. 753?. due to him, but in aU probability he was once more doomed to disappointment, for he was compelled to memorialize His Majesty on the 9th of January in the following terms : — " Something of a " Memorial being required of me, I crave leave to repeat that " I was employed by the King in Council to see transcribed the " old Leagues and Treaties, that no provision being made to defray " the charges, it lay upon me to provide the money, and I gave " account from time to time to the Lords of the Treasury in order " to be reimbursed, and from them had several sums, but in such " proportion, that by an account I stated this last Midsummer " there appeared to be laid out by me more than received 563?. ; " upon a representation then of my very great necessities, an order " for 150?. was granted me, which no way answering my neces- " sities and the charge still growing upon me, I humbly beg a " further consideration may be had of me, the rather in that " I ask no reward for my time, and seven years continual appli- •' cation and attendance in this service." Notwithstanding that he was labouring gratuitously, Rymer could not obtain money from the Treasury to replace the sums he had disbursed out of his own resources, and he was again compelled to ' His friend Charles Montague bad, however, procured warrants for him to the amount of 1,130/., but these, like many other warrants for the payment of money at that period, were disregarded, on account of the impecuniosity of the Treasury. ^ Not now forthcoming. xlvi PEEPACE. petition for money. The Lords of the Treasury, on the 15th of No- vember 1700, summoned him to appear before them, and after hear- ing his grievances, " order him a warrant for 250?. towards his charges, " but do determine this expense shall end at Midsummer next." BCe does not, however, appear to have received the money assigned him, for on the 10th of January following "a warrant for 2501. " was to be issued to Mr. Rymer on his order;" and on the 18th of June 1701 a further sum of 2001. was awarded to him, " in part of 3831. due to him to discharge his clerks," and he is again reminded that this charge for clerks, &c. is to cease from Midsummer 1701. On the 6th of March 1702, Rymer was again compelled to write to the Treasury a letter, which cannot be read without deep emotion by every literary man : — " No allowance " from the Treasury on account of the old Leagues and Treaties " hath been made me since Midsummer 1701, yet from that time " and still the same charge in Clerks and Lodgings continues upon " me ; because to part with them would be to put it out of my " power to print and publish as the Order of CouncU had directed. " By this means a debt is brought and grows upon me, which " of necessity I must sink under (unless relieved by the Treasury), " which I may the rather expect in regard that hitherto no " manner of consideration hath been had of my almost ten years' " constant attendance in that service. Let me also remind you " that old age comes so fast upon me, that I cannot expect to be " much longer in a condition to do anything. I beg your favour " in representing this to my Lord Treasurer." This letter was laid before Queen Anne, but it does not appear to have received any attention from Her Majesty. On the 17th of June 1702, Rymer addressed Queen Anne in the following words : — " To the Queen's most Excellent Majesty. The " petition of Thomas Rymer, humbly sheweth that your petitioner " in the fourth year of the reign of King William and Queen " Mary was constituted Historiographer Royal, and was then also " employed to see transcribed and published the ancient Leagues, " Treaties, and Public Acts of State from the Originals, then in a " great measure rotten and defaced, which service your petitioner " from that time constantly has attended ; but hitherto has not " published any part of the premisses. May it please your Majesty « to grant the Uke patent of Historiographer to your petitioner " during your Majesty's most gracious pleasure ; and in order to " the publishing of the above-mentioned Leagues, Treaties, and PEEFACE. xlyii " Public Acts of State, to direct your Majesty's Lord High Treasurer " of England to allow the like encouragement as heretofore has " been granted by your Majesty's most noble progenitors and " predecessors Kings of England, on the like occasion. And your " petitioner," &c. On the 18th of June ;1702, it appears by a Treasury Minute' Prays for a " that Mr. Rymer prays to renew his Patent of Historiographer paterL""'''' " Eoyal, and to have such encouragement for transcribing and Historiographer " publishing ancient Leagues, Treaties, and Public Acts of State as " heretofore hath been made." This encouragement was at the rate of 2001. per annum for copying clerks ; but no order seems to have been made. By an abstract of papers la,id before the Queen it was recommended that his salary as Historiographer should in future be only 160?. per annum ; by another minute it was further proposed to reduce it to lOOZ. per annum ; but neither recommen- dation was carried out, and his former salary of 200?. per annum was continued up to the day of his death. Such continual petitions and disappointments were sufficient to His continual have overwhelmed the strongest and most hopeful man, and it is a ments.™"*' matter of surprise that Rymer did not sink under them ; few could have borne up so manfuUy, and laboiired so indefatigably and zea- lously amidst a life of such trials and misfortunes. Probably no other man would have had the energy and perseverance to have carried the Fcedera to its conclusion, but he struggled bravely through all discouragements to the end of his most laborious and arduous task. Light was now beginning to dawn upon him. His patron, Montague, had been raised to the peerage at the recommendation of the House of Commons, with the title of Baron Halifax, and had acquired additional favour at Court. He induced the Queen to take an active interest in the Fcedera, and to promise to be at the charge of printing it.^ Her Maiesty kept her word, and on the 19th of May 1703 Tiie^ork , . -, ■, o ordered to be ordered under sign manual the sum of 500Z. to be paid to " Peter printed. ** Hume, Esq., without account, the same being intended to be by " him paid over unto our trusty and well-beloved Thomas Rymer, " our Historiographer, and Awnsham Churchill, bookseller, at such " times and in such proportions as are mentioned in certain articles " of agreement made the 16th of April last between the said Peter " Hume for and on our behalf of the first part, the said Thomas 'Treasury Minute Book, vol.

Thus the publication' of this great national work was ordered after Eymer had been engaged upon it upwards of ten years, and without having received any remuneration whatever. Before the printing of the first volume of the work was finished, Eymer was again compelled to apply for money; he thus addressed the Lord High Treasurer : — " The case of Tho. Eymer, humbly presented.

It was not, however, until the volume was finished at press, that the Treasury entertained Eymer's petition. On the 6th of June 1704 he was paid "^200 in full of all services of himselfe &; his " clerks till Lady-day 1703, from w<=Ii time [he] has allowance for " printing his books." He was thus mulcted of 400Z. of his just demand. The printing of the first volume was finished at the end of February 1704,^ and it was published on the 20th of November 1704.* It commences with a turgid and eulogistic dedication to Queen Anne, in Latin, which is so perfectly characteristic of its author that I give an English translation of it. « To the Queen. — To relieve the wretched and feed the poor " by bestowing gold and silver on those even who do not ask it, what " you are doing daily and continually.

Ixxx PREFACE. the first impression, and the defects and errors inseparable from a work of such magnitude. Up to a short time before his death he was actively engaged in collecting materials. The result of his diligence amounted, when bound, to fifty-nine^ volumes, embracing the period between 1115 and 1698. It is this collection which his friend Le Neve ofiered for sale to the Earl of Oxford, and for which the Treasury paid to his executrix 2151. The volumes were ordered to be placed among the manuscripts in the Cot- tonian collection, but somehow or other they fell into the hands of Awnsham Churchill, the publisher of the Foedera; and the interference of the House of Lords was required before they could be rescued from Churchill's hands. It appears that the Lords Committee on the Public Eecords received information that several unprinted transcripts of records had been left by the late Mr. Rymer, and were in the hands of Awnsham Churchill, a bookseller. Upon this information CliurchUl was sent for and examined. He acknow- ledged that the transcripts were in his custody, but he had been accustomed to consider them as of no value, being only papers which Rymer had thrown aside as not fit to print. He added "that " Rymer'a executors had procured them to be bound, and they " were paid for by the Treasury, and were to be applied for the " public inspection.'' He further informed the committee that the transcripts were ready to be delivered in accordance with their directions. They were, in consequence, placed for the present under the custody of Mr. Incledon, their Lordships' housekeeper. Several orders upon the subject will be found in the Jovirnals of the House of Lords. According to one of them, the transcripts, when delivered up by Churchill, were to be deposited in the Chapter House of Westminster, there to be digested and put in order.^ These brief and imperfect notices contain aU that I have been able to discover concerning the life of a man who has been cursorily passed over by writers of English biography. It seemed due to his ' Fifty-eight of these volumes now form the Additional MSS. in the British Museum, from No. 4573 to No. 4630 inclusive. The 59th vol. was not given up to the Museum with the other fifty-eight volumes, hut it is now No. 18,911 of the Additional Manu- scripts. Various opinions have been ex- pressed as to the value of these materials ; they have heen condemned as worthless hy some, and extolled for their gi"eat import- ance by others. There is no doubt that many of the transcripts are incorrectly copied, and abound with errors ; neverthe- less a very extensive use has been made of them; in one work alone no less than 171 documents have been printed. ^ See " Journals of the House of Lords," Vol. XXI. p. 143, and Vol. XXIII. p. 282.

Ixxxi memory to bring together as much as could be collected ; but after the lapse of more than a century of comparative forgetfulness, little can be gathered respecting the fate of a writer whose name has been rescued from oblivion solely from its connexion with a work which, though of great national importance, of necessity keeps the author's personal history altogether out of view. His name is imperishably bound up with the reputation of his country ; for " those fifteen " volumes of public acts are the best monument of the past glories " of a nation that ever yet appeared since the beginning of nations."^ The death of Rymer occasioned no interruption in the progress Sanderson's of the " Fcedera." ^ Robert Sanderson, who has been mentioned fOT^he talk" before as Rymer's assistant, at once stepped into the vacant place of editor. Rymer, it will be borne in mind, ha,d edited and pub- lished fifteen volumes. He had also very nearly completed the arrangements for the sixteenth. This fact has been misrepresented by Dr. Clarke in his Introduction to the new edition of the "Fcedera." At p. 1 he states, that "the first fourteen volumes were published in " Rymer's lifetime ; the fifteenth and sixteenth, which he had " prepared for the press, were published after his death by Robert " Sanderson." • The same mis-statement is repeated at p. 3 ; whereas the fifteenth volume not only bears Rymer's name on the title-page, but the dedication is signed by him. The sixteenth is the only volume stated to have bee^ compiled from the papers of Rymer. The sixteenth volume contains the acts of 30 years, viz., from 2nd of November 1 586 to the 4th of November 1616. It was pub- lished in 1715. In the title page the new editor thus acknowledges his obligation to his predecessor : " Ex schedis Thomse Rymer potissimum edidit Robertus Sanderson." A brief and meagre dedication to George I., contrasting strongly with the diffuse and ornate style of Rymer on such occasions, is all that the new editor deems necessary for ushering his new volume into the world. It is in the following words : " Serenissimo * Bishop Kennett's Second Letter to the Bishop of Carlisle, p. 33. ' Shortly aiter Kymer's death, the fol- lowing remark on his work -was •written in a letter hy Thomas Heame to his friend Anstis, dated at Oxford, 11 July 1714. (Letters hy Eminent Persons, London, 1813, i. 289.) " I should he glad to know " ■whether Bymer's Fcedera will be con- " tinued. He intended to have published " a separate volume of Critical Ohserva- •' tiona ; but how well he was qualified for " that I know not.

This volume is much more miscellaneous in its character than any of those that preceded it. Several of the papers in it were collected by Rymer. The incapacity of Sanderson ^ and his want of judgment are very perceptible in the volumes entrusted to his care ; they contain documents of a nature unfit for the " Fcedera " in the proportion of three to one. To the seventeenth volume Sanderson appended various indexes to the whole work, and also a catalogue or syllabus of the contents of Rymer's 59 volumes of Manuscript Collections.^ This syllabus was published at the time as a separate work, with the following title : " Syllabus, seu index actorum manuscriptorum quae " lix. voluminibus compacta (prseter xvii. tomas typis vulgatas) " collegit ac descripsit Thomas Rymer.

PREFACE. Ixxxiii published by A. and JT. Churcbill, and the seventeenth by W. Churchill. The additi5n of indexes would lead to the inference that the work was then thought to be complete, and it has con- sequently been supposed that the 18th, 19th, and 20th volumes were undertaken at private expense, by the permission and not at the cost of the government. I am not inclined to think that this surmise is correct, though I have not been able to trace in the public accounts any indications of money having been furnished by the government for the compiiation and printing of these three volumes. Their publication was conducted by Jacob Tonson, who was licensed to reprint and publish the first seventeen volumes. In his licence no mention is made of any intended continuation. The first edition of the " Foedera " (that is, ChurchiU's seventeen volumes,) was, as already stated, limited to two hundred and fifty copies (to which nine additional copies were added by Act of Parlia- ment for the universities and other privileged places) ; twenty-five were presented to Rymer as part payment for his labour ; one hundred and eighty-five were given away,^ and the forty-five copies which remained were not allowed to be sold, but were kept in store for the use of the government. No wonder, then, that the value of a single copy rose as high as one hundred guineas, whenever one was submitted to sale. The cost price of a single copy to the government, when one was required for a special purpose, was eighty pounds. The charge for printing the seventeen volumes (ex- clusive of the sums paid for editing and transcripts) amounted to 10,255?. 2s. 6d., to which must be added 115i!. for 17 sheets printed in the 15th, 16th, and 17th volumes beyond the number of sheets contracted for; 951. for composing the several tables in the 1 7th volume, consisting of 95 sheets; 50?. for making the Index Nominum to the several volumes, and arranging them in one Index, and 100?. for making and composing the Index Locorum et Eerum added to the 17 volumes^ making in all a total of 10,615?. 12s; 6d. In taking an unprejudiced view of the contents of the first General obser- fifteen volumes, it must not be supposed that no blame attaches Foedera.

Richard I. (about ninety-eight years) he has only printed eighty-six documents.! Of these, sixty-one are either conventions, letters of state, or other documents of intercourse between English princes and those of foreign countries. Sixteen relating to England refer to Papal privileges of a private or local character, and nine do not fall within the scope of the original design of the work. With the reign of John the enrolments of the Chancery commence, and as the Chancellor at that time was the Chief Secretary of State both for Home and Foreign Affairs, all documents, both domestic and public, were enrolled in his oflB.ce. Such a plethora of informa- tion would naturally puzzle a man in Rymer's position. There was scarcely a document which came before him from which he could not extract some fact useful either to the statesman or the lawyer, the churchman or topographer, the biographer or critic ; hence he was induced gradually to introduce documents referring to domestic aflfairs much more liberally than he had done in the first instance, and altogether inconsistently with a strict adherence to the purposes of a work devoted to " Acta Publica " or " Foedera," from the title of which the student will be lead to expect nothing but public acts. These additions were probably an afterthought, as Rymer makes no allusion to them in his title-page. While mentioning this departure of the editor from the real pur- pose of his work, it is right also that I should correct an assertion, which has sometimes been made with greater positiveness than accuracy, that Rymer has omitted nothing from his collections which would properly fall within the description of his title-page. I notice this subject because it is stated in the Introduction to the "Acta Regia" that there is not one important act omitted by Rymer in any of the reigns over which the " Foedera " extends : whereas, in reality, his omissions are numerous. These remarks, however, must be applied to the collection as it appeared at the death of Rymer, and not to the additions for supplying its defects made by the Record Commissioners, which will presently be brought under notice. There is no doubt that a considerable mass of materials exists to which Rymer had not access, but which, in all probability, ' Of these eighty-six documents the sources of only thirty have been alluded to by Rymer. The remaining 56 are without any reference as to the place of their deposit. Indeed the larger number of the thirty are merely designated as " Ex. orig." or " Ex Autogr." without mentioning where they are kept. PREFACE. Ixxxv he would Have used had he been aware of them ;^ there are others, again, of which he certainly was aware, and yet he did not use. This is clear from the contents of the " Collectanea Kymeri," but the reasons for his omissions cannot be conjectured. I must now allude to some of the anachronisms, merely as a warning to the reader. Rymer, for instance, has placed under the year 1174 a charter belonging to the year 1236, being 62 years out of date. Again, he has printed a Commission of James IV. of Scotland, dated 19th of July, in the 32nd year of his reign, under the year 1427 instead of 1509, a misplacement of no less than 82 years before its proper time. These wrong dates and several others have been cox'rected in the " Syllabus." While exposing the shortcomings of Rymer,^ I ought not to pass over the fact that he has, without acknowledgment, inserted docur ' It has lieen already stated (p. t. note ') that Leonard's Recneil, published in 1693, contains many documents relating to this country which are omitted in the Fadera ; for instance, between the years 1435 and 1644 Leonard has printed eighty-three in- istruments which concern Great Britain ; of these Rymer has only given eighteen, thus leaving sixty-Jive minoticed. It seems ssarcely credible that Rymer was un- acquainted with Leonard's Collection, the whole of which was published before the Foedera was contemplated, or at any rate before Rymer was appointed its editor. I am at a loss for a reasonable excuse for this great omission, but I fear others equally great could be indicated. In the Appendix will be found a, list of 6.5 omitted docu- ments. ^ The historian, Thomas Carte, has made a most unfounded charge against Rymer. In his letter to Swift, dated 11th August 1736, and printed in Nichol's Literary Anecdotes, vol. 2, p. 477, he states, " that " Rymer's collection contains only such " treaties as were enrolled in the Tower or " in the Rolls of Chancery. He knew " nothing of such as were enrolled in the " Exchequer, and of the public treaties " with foreign princes enrolled in the latter " office. I have now a list of above four " hundred by me. Rymer never made nse " of that vast collection of materials for an " English History which is preserved in " the Cotton Library, nor ever consulted '■ any journal of our Privy Council j when- " ever he refers to any, still quoting Bishop " Burnet for his author. He never read " the Rolls of Parliament, nor any journal " of either House, where the chief affairs " within the nation are tra;nsacted| and' " did not so much as know there was " such a place as the Paper Office, where " all the letters of the English ambas- " sadors abroad, and all the despatches of " our secretaries of state at home, from " the time of Edward the Fourth to the " Revolution (since which the secretaries " have generally carried away their papers), " are kept in a good method and with " great regularity^, so that he wanted like- " wise the best materials for an account of " our foreign affairs. These defects have " made several of our nobility and gentry " desire a new history to be wrote, in " which the above-mentioned, and other " materials as authentic as they, may be " made use o£" When Carte published his general account of the necessary materials for the History of England, he repeated this charge in the following words : " Rymer has printed " several volumes of records, enrolled in " Chancery, but not one out of the Exche- " quer, where are many of much greater " importance to the subject than most in " his collection, and where likewise are " abundance of treaties with foreign " princes ; that being the court in which " most kings of Europe used anciently to " enroll such treaties. Powel.inhis'Reper- " tory of Records,' gives us a list of the " contracting powers, dates, &c. of above " 400 treaties of our kings with foreign Ixxxvi PREFACE. ments in. the "Fcedera" obtained from printed sources^ instead of from manuscripts. This is the less excusable, as Leibnitz had pointed out the advantage that Rymer possessed over himself. He writes, "Sed hoc ilH prse nobis eximium contigit, quod ad ipsa " aufchentica originalia admissus de veris lectionibus tuto pronun- " tiare potest, dum nos plerumque apographis contenti esse cogimur, " ssepeque in incerto versamur." In some instances, and with less pardonable grounds, he has positively taken matter from Leibnitz, and printed it as " ex originali " and -' ex autograph." • I do not here bring into the account against Rymer those pieces which he derived from ancient chronicles and histories that had been already printed, because he does not in those reprints pro- fess to have derived them from manuscripts, but simply leaves his reader in ignorance as to their source or place of deposit.^ It will not be necessary to make more than a passing allusion to the numerous errors which are to be found in the " Fcedera," as " princes, ■which are not in Eymer. Ano- " ther very considerable body of materials, "very proper, if not necessary, ttrnst be " sought in foreign parts. There is always " a continual intercourse of friendly or " hostile transactions between adjoining " countries ; for which reasons the records " of aU nations furnish abundance of mate- " terials for the history of their neighoours. " This I have observed particularly in " France, where, in my searches for some "years together after records relating to " England, I took notes or made abstracts " of above a thousand instruments of " treaties and transactions between the " two kingdoms, scarce any of whjch " appear in Eymer." Nearly all of Carte's assertions^are false, as may be tested by any one who will take the trouble to examine Eymer's Col- lection. Eeferences to treaties, and other materials deposited in the Treasury of the Exchequer, are constantly made. More- over, there is still extant a book containing a list of all the documents belonging to the Exchequer which passed through Eymer's hands, each receipt signed by himself. That the Cottonian manuscripts were frequently used and quoted is beyond doubt, as may be seen by numberless marginal notations. Indeed the whole of Carte's accusation betrays both igno- rance and malice. He was getting up a case for himself, to fill a subscription list for his History of England. Eymer, who edited the Fcedera, and Eapin, who popu- , larized it, are both condemned as sciolists and ignoramuses, in order to exalt himself at their expense. ' From a passage in the preface of the General History of England by Tyrrell, who was contemporary with Eymer, it would seem that the fact of Eymer employ- ing printed materials was well known at the time. He says, " I am very well in- " formed that the learned and ingenious " Mr. Eymer, his Majesty's Historiographer, " designs to give the world a large collec- " tion of leagues, treaties, and articles of " peace between the Kings of England " and other foreign princes, collected not " only from printed authors but also from " that hidden treasure of originals and " records at this day deposited in the old " Chapter House of the Abbey ofWest- " minster." As this is a grave charge it ought to be fully proved. The convention in 1193 between Philip H. King of France and John Count of Mortain is taken by Eymer from the Codex Diplomaticus, with all the errors of that copy. The original, from whence Leibnitz printed, is in the public archives of France. Eymer derived four other documents from the same Codex Diplomaticus without acknowledgment. ^ See Appendix XXVII. ?REFACE. Ixxxvii Rymer seems to have been fully aware of them, and makes some apology for, or rather »allusion to, them. In his note on the "Errata," at the end of his preface, he says, " In ipsis autographis '5 aliquando deficiuat, 4liquando redundant nonnuUa vocabula, et '? etiam aliquando, vel ipsse Grammaticorum conculcantur leges, " sed hsec quovis modo tangere, prdphanum duximus. Si quando " leges preminere, rnimere, eonsumare, in pontificum Litteris ; vel " orribile, ortus, efba, ylomter, cmelare, ubi desit Htteraaut aspiratio; " vel quando legas hodiv/m, hirasci, cohoperante, ubi respiratio " additur ; hsee pro more fiunt, et minime tj^ographo imputanda." That Eymer's work created some disappointment on its first Contemporary CltlilClSlIl appearance must not be concealed. At least Ayloffe states^ that the public had formed high ideas of this proposed collection of records, long before its publication ; but their expectations were greatly disappointed. They could not, he says, without injustice to Bymer, neglect to applaud his labours, but at the same time they regretted his want of correctness, and that he had not more maturely con- sidered the merits as well of several of those instruments which he printed as of many others which he rejected. This opinion of Ayloflfe has been urged several times by Dr. Clarke in condemna- tion of Rymer; and yet he has felt himself compelled to admit that ''perhaps there are few (if any) men in his day who could have " executed a design with so much accuracy and success, at once as " difficult and complex as it was important and useftd." "For inysfelf, I am inclined to thiuk that Ayloflfe has magnified the number as well as the importance of the censures to which he refers. He has mistaken the voice of a few like himself, who may have read the " Fcedera " with attention and compared it on some occasions with the originals, for the voice of the public, who neither could nor would do the one or the other. Considering the extent of his task, the difficulties and the intricacies against which Eymer had to contend single-handed, his work is by no means amenable to the censures that were thus insinuated by Ayloffe. Many of his supposed errors are nothing more than typographical inaccuracies ; some are the obvious misreadings of his scribes — palpable enough, and pardonable in transcribing from faded parchments, often closely generally obscurely, written ; and from the enormous size of the documents themselves, and their involved and perplexed Latinity, wearisome in the extreme. 1 Intiodnction, p. xxxviii. Ixxxviii PEEFACE. Sanderson's But to return to the ]8th, 19th, and 20th volumes, which were wholly entrusted to the editorship of Sanderson.^ These volumes are quite different in their nature from those that preceded them. Sanderson either mistook his instructions, or wilfully perverted them. Instead of a "Fa3dera" he has rather produced a new work in the shape of materials for our domestic history, in which foreign affairs are slightly intermingled. The reader's attention to this fact is particularly desired, as Kymer has been frequently undeservedly blamed for the miscellaneous character of these volumes, in which he had no hand whatever. It is true that in the 15 volumes edited by himself he frequently enlarged his plan, but Sanderson entirely changed it. It was his object to spare himself labour. He seems to have contented himself with making selec- tions from those muniments which came easily to hand ; and he seldom prosecuted his researches beyond the precincts of the Rolls Chapel, of which he was one of the chief clerks. It was less trouble to print the Patent RoUs entire than to make researches at the Chapter House. The eighteenth volume of the " Foedera " made its first appearance in 1726, but it was recalled for the reason which will be presently given, and did not finally appear until 1731. It embraces the period from 28th March 1625 to 10th of October 1628. It bears upon it every appearance of a continuation issued under the same authority as the preceding seventeen volumes, and accom- panied by the same immediate sanction of the crown. The descriptive portion of the title-page agrees verbatim with the previous volumes; the royal warrant, dated the l7th February 1718, is prefixed as a frontispiece. The volume is dedicated to the king, and is stated to be " in lucem missa de mandate regio," an assertion which it is difficult to suppose any one would have hazarded who was merely acting with the royal per- mission and not by royal command. In all these particulars there appear to be positive indications that the " Foedera " still pre- served its original distinction as a publication issued by the govern- ment and not as private speculation. In his dedication to King George the First, Sanderson follows in the steps of Rymer ; but is less florid, and his compliments are less laboured. He says, "I must " esteem it as a very particular felicity in having had the honour ' I have already stated that the 1 6th | The seventeenth volume also contains a Tolume, though edited by Sanderson, was | portion of Rymer's collection, principally taken from Rymer's papers, i PREFACE. Ixxxix " of serving three crowned heads (I mean King William, Queen " Anne, and your royal Majesty) for more than thirty years, in a " work declared by the greatest potentates in the world as a " work highly conducing to their service and the honour of their " crowns. This is the eighteenth tome of that work ; wherein " your Majesty may please to observe a certain prophetic care " and regard, by your royal predecessor King Charles the First, " for that illustrious family from which hath been derived unto " us the choicest blessing that Heaven could bestow upon a loyal " people, the greatest king and best of men, who hath made us " greater by your excellent power and better by your royal " example. Your Majesty will please to indulge me here the '•' liberty of making the most dutiful profession of an unalter- " able zeal and affection to both your Majesty's person and your " government ; and these, I think, I can't declare in a better, I am " certain in a more agreeable manner, to your Majesty's eminent " piety, than by my constant wishes and ardent prayers for your " sacred Majesty's long, very long and prosperous reign over a " contented people ; and that there never may want a person " issuing from your sacred loins to sway the sceptres of these " your kingdoms, so long as the sun and moon endure. These " are the wishes and these are the continued prayers, may it " please your Majesty, &c." In this volume Sanderson was guilty of a great indiscretion and committed a grave breach of the privilege of Parliament, by printing the Journals of the first Parliament of Charles I., contrary to the standing orders of both houses. He was summoned before the House on the 7th of May 1729,^ and obliged to withdraw ' The Lord Dclawarr reported from the Lords Committees appointed to inspect Public Eecords, " That their Lordships, in " pursuing the Directions of the House for " inspecting Records, thought proper to " send for and examine Mr. Sanderson, " Clerk of the Bolls; who informed the " Committee, that he had prepared an " Eighteenth Volume of Eecords, of the " Nature of the late Mr. Kymer's Foedera, " and that the same -was printed by J. Ton- " son ; which the Committee, upon in- " specting, observed, that in the said " Eighteenth Volume, One of the Journals " of this House, of the Eirst year of King " Charles the First, is inserted: And the " Committee think proper further to " acquaint your Lordships, that the said " Tonson has deposited, with the Clerk " Assistant, in the House belonging to the " Parliament OfiSce, such Part of the Im- " pression of the said Eighteenth Volume " as remained undisposed of at the Time " the Committee took Notice of the print- " ing the said Journal."

The amended volume received its full complement of 1060 pages, but did not make its appearance until the year 1731. The nineteenth volume was published in 1732, and was dedi- cated to King George the Second. It embraces the period of 1628-1636. Speaking^^ of this volume in his dedication to the King, Sanderson says, "I take this first opportunity of laying " myself at your Majesty's royal feet, together with an oflfering " that best becomes me to make, and is the fittest for your Majesty " to receive, it is the nineteenth tome of the Fcedera, &c., a "collection containing so vast and rich a fund of useful and " instructive learning, in all transactions, whether foreign or " domestic, as I will adventure to say no other nation ever did " nor indeed is able to produce the like.

It does not appear that the sub- ject was ever noticed in Parliament, as Sanderson recalled his work immediately he became aware of his indiscretion. Seve- ral copies of it, however, must have been circulated. One I have myself consulted and another fell into the hands of Rapin, who made an abridgment of it in thexxxiv. number of the Acta Regia, and which may be seen in the folio edition of that work.

The twentieth volume made its appearance in 1735, and is also dedicated to George the Second. It extends from 28th of March 1636 to 29th of April 1654. The dedication to King George the Second, which is dated 21st August 1735, is conceived in the same spirit, and written in the same tone, as those that preceded it : " May it please " your Majesty, this is the twentieth volume of the Fcedera, " &c., which I humbly presume to lay now at your Majesty's " feet. It contains the last twelve years of the reign of King " Charles the First, and the first six years of King Charles the " Second, your royal progenitors ; a very small number of years " indeed, but filled with innumerable instances of rage, distraction, " madness, confusion, unreasonable dissensions, and unchristian " quarrels, under the pretence of supporting religion (which very " few practised), and of asserting regal power (which fewer valued). " This was the melancholy face of affairs in those unhappy days. " It would ill become my duty to interrupt your Majesty with " a tedious relation of the various turns and changes in both "church and state, but a serious reflection upon them naturally " leads me to express my joy for falling into times under your *' sacred Majesty's auspicious reign, wherein we are sufficiently " guarded from all fears and apprehensions of such dreadful vicis- " situdes. May your Majesty live long to preserve to us those " blessings which by you,r consummate wisdom and unwearied " pains and labour you have procured for us. May the true " sense of such inestimable blessings inspire , every honest heart "with an active becoming zeal for the sole service and interests "of the excellent author of them, for it is to you (great kiug) " we truly owe the full enjoyment of them. May just Heaven " (whose care you are) ever protect and guard your Majesty, your " royal consort, and all your royal family, for the glory and support " of all your subjects in particular, and for the general good and " benefit of mankind, &c." These three volumes edited by Sanderson were published by Jacob Tonson. This circumstance, added to the fact that Tonson was the rear and responsible publisher of the second edition, has probably given occasion to the supposition that the volumes were published at Tonson's risk. xcu PEEFACE. Holmes's labours. Sanderson does not appear to have satisfied either the gorem- ment or the public in his capacity of editor of the Fcedera, as he was not employed to continue it. He died on the 25th of Decem- ber 1741. The little that is known of his personal history appears in the note below.'^ It would be unjust to his memory not to state that the text of his three volumes, which he had taken from the records with which he was most conversant, is generally printed with care ; but certain letters which he had borrowed from the papers of Secretary Thurloe are disfigured with gross inaccuracies. This statement is made on the authority of Birch, the editor of the Thurloe Papers, who says, " the reader will be" convinced of the " necessity of reprinting them in this collection, when he is assured " that the whole are most incorrectly transcribed, the dates often " mistaken, and the names of persons and places generally dis- " guised in such a manner as to be quite unintelligible."

Robert Sanderson, a younger son of Christopher Sanderson, a justice of the peace for Durham, who suflFered for his attachment to the royal cause, was bom at Eccleston Hall in Durham, on the 27th of July 1660. He was entered as a student of St. John's College, Cambridge, under Dr. Baker, on the 7th of July 1683, and continued seyeral years at the University, being contemporary there with Matthew Prior. Prom the year 1696 to 1707 he was employed by Eymer. In 1704 he published a translation of original letters from William to Charles the Second. He wrote also a History of Henry the Fifth, part of which is lost and part remains in manuscript. On the 3d of May 1707 he was named in the Royal Warrant as Rymer's assistant. On the death of Rymer he applied for the place of Historiographer Royal, and was offered assistance by Prior, but was defeated by the change of ministry on the Queen's death in 1714. In 1715 he edited the 16th volume of the Fcedera ex schedis Th'omae Rymer. On the 15th Fe- bruary 1717 he was appointed by Royal Warrant editor in Rymer's place. On the 28th of November 1726 he was made usher of the Court of Chancery by Sir Joseph Jekyll, Master of the RoUs, and afterwards clerk or keeper of the Records in the RoUs Chapel. The dates of the publication of the later volumes of the Fcedera have already been given. In 1727 he succeeded to considerable property in Cumberland, the North Riding of Yorkshire, and Dur- ham, on the death of an elder brother, and he afterwards occasionally resided at his seat, Annathwaite Castle, on the banks of the Eden, 10 mUes from Carlisle, but his chief residence was in London. He died at his town residence in Chancery Lane, and was buried in Red Lion Fields. Sanderson was married four times ; the last time in his 70th year to Elizabeth Hickes of London. He was considered as a learned man, and was acquainted with many languages. He had a choice col- lection of books and manuscripts, and is said to have kept a journal, in which he noted down the minutest actions. On the death of his wife, in 1753, his estates descended to the family of his eldest sister, Margaret, the wife of Henry Milbume, of Newcastle. PREFACE, xcm son, M. Eapin, and M, le Clerc,^ and, above all, its scarcity, naturally attracted the attrition of English publishers, and the celebrated Jacob Tonson determined to produce a second edition, or rather a reprint of the seventeen volumes, by subscription.^ He obtained a royal licence for the exclusive publication of the work for a period of fourteen years from the 24th of May 1723. In the licence the •work is treated as complete in 17 volumes folio, and Tonson is authorized to publish those volumes, without any mention of an intended continuation. With so little care was it at first conducted that many of the errors rectified by Kymer at the end of his preface were repeated without correction. George Holmes,* then deputy keeper of the records in the Tower of London, and a man of considerable merit as an antiquary, was employed as editor. The work, however, had proceeded as far as p. 113 before Holmes's services were secured, at least from that ' Speaking of the " Foedera," the cele- brated Le Clero, in his " Bibliotheque Choisie," says, " On trouvera ici des mate- " mux tres considerables, pour I'embel- " lissement et pour I'eclaircissement de " I'Histoire d'Angleterre, des Etats voisins, " et en general de tons ceux avec qui elle " a eu quelque chose a traiter, depuis le " conunencement du douzieme Siecle.

' Kennet relates an anecdote which sufficiently proves the difficulty of obtain- ing a copy. " His Majesty (George I) " within his dominions in Germany had a " late occasion to enquire for them (the " seventeen volumes), and could not have " been supplied with them at any mart m " Europe, nor indeed at any place or rate " in Great Britain, had not the worthy " comptroller signified so much to a " noble peer in England, who by the next " return presented his Majesty with his " own set of them curiously bound." (Second Letter to the Bishop of Carlisle, 1716, p. 36.) ' George Holmes was born at Skipton in Craven in the year 16G2. He became, in 1685, the clerk of WiUiam Petyt, keeper of the Records in the Tower of London, and upon his death (9th Oct. 1707) was ap- pointed by Lord Halifax to methodize and digest the records in that repository, at a salary of 200?. per annum. He had been previously appointed (28 Sept. 1704) chief clerk, for the arranging and calendaring the undigested records in the Tower, at an annual salary of one hundred pounds. He was for nearly 60 years deputy to Petyt, Topham, and Polhill, successively keepers of the Tower Records, and was one of the ori- ginal members of the Society of Antiquaries of London, undertaking to describe the Saxon coins in the account projected by that Society. He re-edited, in 1727, the seventeen volumes of Tonson's edition of the Foedera, and died on the 1 6th of Fe- bruary 1748-9 in the 87th year of his age, and was buried in the Tower Chapel. The Society of Antiquaries engraved his por- trait with an inscription on it. By his wife (a daughter of Mr. Marshall, a sword cutler in Fleet Street,) he had an only son, George, who was educated at Eton, and was clerk under his father, but died aged 25, many years before him. Mrs. Holmes survived her husband, and received from Government 2001. for his manuscripts relative to the Tower Records. His books, prints, and coins, were sold by auction. XCIV PKEFACE. page Ms superintendence becomes apparent ; but the errors pointed out in the foot note ^ below seem to have escaped observation. Of Tonson's edition, volumes I. to VIII, and also volumes X., XI, XII., XIIL, XVI., and XVII., appear from their title- pages to have been published in 1T27. Volumes XIV. and XV. bear date 1728; and volume IX., which was strangely delayed, completed the series of reprints in 1729. These dates upon the title-pages are in some degree at variance with a paper preserved in Nichols' Literary Anecdotes, i. 386,^ which is evidently genuine, and details the particulars respecting the mode of Tonson's publication. Only the first twelve volumes, which contained the records derived from the Tower, were edited by Holmes ; the name of the editor of the others does not appear. His corrections exhibit the nature of the errors which had escaped Kymer. They are more numerous in the earlier volumes. Tonson pubHshed in 1730 the result of George Holmes' collation in a thin volume, with the title of "The emendations " in the new edition of Mr. Rymer's Fcedera are all printed in " these sheets, for the use of those gentlemen who are possessed of " the former edition, the pages of which are exactly referred to in " such a manner that the reader may easily mark those altera- " tions with his pen which are made in the new edition. The two editions of the "Fcedera" having becpme scarce and expensive, a third edition, embodying Holmes' collation and Sanderson's additional volumes, was commenced at the Hague in the year 1737, and completed in 1745. It is in smaller type than the other two editions, and is compressed into, ten volumes. The work appears to have been undertaken by the Dutch book- sellers as a private speculation ; we are not informed of the name the editor they selected, though there is some reason to suppose that it was John Neaulme, the publisher. ' Eymer's notes of three grave errors are reprinted in the same place, though one of them, if heeded, would have caused the transposition of a document ten years later in the subsequent editions, p. 374, col. 1, 1. 23, " Pro node quedam, leg. nodo " quondam IsabeUam.

Volume III. finishes at the 187th page of volume VIII., and bears date 174!0. Volume IV., also dated in 1740, brings the reprint down to the 565th page of volume X. Volume V. ends with the 247th page of volume XIII., and was published in 1741. Volume VI., dated in the same year, comes down to the end of volume XV. of the London editions. Volume VII. concludes volume XVII. of the London editions, and is dated 1742. Volume VIII. was published in 1743, and ends with the 658th page of volume XIX of Sanderson's edition. Volume IX, published in 1744, includes the remainder of San- derson's portion ; also 107 letters attributed to Queen Mary I. of England, a translation into French of an English treatise "de " I'Estat et Gouvemement du royaume d'Angleterre," said to have been written by Sir Thomas Smith, and the Syllabus to Rymer's manuscript collections. Volume X. contains an " Abrege Historique " of the documents contained in the " Foedera," and an Index rerum prsecipuarum to the nine preceding volumes. It was published in 1745. Prefixed to the tenth volume is sometimes found an advertise- ment fi-om John Neaulme, the publisher, in which he states the account between himself and the subscribers according to the terms contained in his proposals. The whole cost to the sub- scribers was 134 florins and 3 sols for each copy. Neaulme also submits to his subscribers an account of various unanticipated expenses which he had necessarily incurred with a view of ren- dering the edition more complete, the result of which is that in his opinion each subscriber ought to pay him 13 florins and 3 sols XCVl PREFACE. Comparison of the Taiious editions of the Foedera. beyond the stipulated price. He makes no demand for the amount, but states the circumstances, and adds " ceux que voudront me les " payer me feront plaisir, et me rendront justice." It may be inferred from the statements in this advertisement that John Neaulme was himself the editor as well as the publisher of the Hag^e edition. A few words on the comparative advantages of the three editions of the " Fcedera " will not be out of place here. There is very little difference in the appearance of the editions printed by Churchill and by Tonson ; perhaps the latter has a riight advantage ; but if either be compared with the Dutch edition it will at once be seen how superior is either of the former to the foreign reprint in clearness of type, in the texture of the paper, and the disposition of the printed matter. In the English editions, consisting of twenty handsome volumes, the printer has done everything in his power to assist the reader. In the Dutch edi- tion, on the other hand, the documents are crowded together, with an evident view to abridge space ; the type is less clear, and the paper less firm ; indeed the work throughout has something of a niggardly and stinted look. So far, therefore, as regards appear- ance, the English editions are certainly to be preferred. ■ Putting aside appearance, and limiting the comparison to accu- racy, Tonson's edition is undoubtedly superior to Churchill's, inasmuch as it contains George Holmes' corrections, the exact nature of which will be presently explained. To equalize the editions as far as possible in respect to accuracy, Tonson issued, as already stated, a thin volume, entitled " The Emendations in the " new edition of Mr. Rymer's Fcedera, .... published for the use " of those gentlemen who are possessed of the former edition, &c. " London, 1730." These emendations are sometimes bound up with copies of the first edition, but cannot be thought to supply adequately the place of the corrections themselves. In other respects Tonson's edition is a mere reprint page by page of Churchill's. Even the documents which Rymer inserted at the end of the first and second volumes under the title of " Omissa " are retained in the same places in Tonson's edition, althouorh they ought to have been inserted in their proper places according to the order of their dates. The Dutch edition has many peculiarities and some improve- ments. Among the former, certainly no advantage, is the awkward division of the volumes into four parts ; each separately paged ; PREFACE. xcvu which not only needlessly burthens the memory in using the Index, but produces great inconvenience, as there are four pages with the same number in each volume. Among the improvements may be reckoned, the diminished size of the work and its general index,^ but which, however, is very defective, and can never be depended upon. The marginal references to the paging of the English editions, beginning at p. 26 of the first volume, and carried on from thence to the end of the work, are also of considerable use. In typographical accuracy the Dutch edition is far superior to either of the preceding.^ The Dutch edition also contains additional matter of three kinds : (I.) Original documents ; (II.) A translation from the English ; and (III.) a French abridgment, or synopsis of the work. The original documents consist of one hundred and seven letters of Queen Mary I., " desumptse ex manuscript© originali in Biblio- " theca Ducis Kantise." Some of these are merely complimentary letters, containing few allusions to public affairs ; but others, as, for instance, those to the King of Denmark in reply to his applications on behalf of Miles Coverdale, are interesting and valuable. All of them were worthy of publication. Dr. Clarke, in his General Intro- duction to the "Fcedera," p. vi., has remarked that these letters were probably written by Roger Ascham ; and this is not unlikely, as Ascham was Latin Secretary during the period in which these letters were written (Feed. xv. 388). The Duke of Kent, from whose library the original manuscript was derived, was Henry Grey de Ruthyn, who enjoyed that title from the 28th of April 1710 until his death in 1740. The translation from the English is of a little treatise of great merit in its day, and even yet worthy of notice, ascribed to Sir Thomas Smith, and entitled " De republica Anglorum." In this work, after a general view of the several kinds of government, the author explains the peculiarities of the institutions of England, and ' In Churchill's edition, at the end of the seventeenth volume, is an Index nominum, referring to the whole of the seventeen volumes; also seventeen different "Indices locorum Omnium et rerum prsecipnarum," corresponding with each volume, Nothing can well be more inconvenient. The three volumes under Sanderson's editorship, viz. the 18th, 19th, and 20th, have no indexes whatever. Tonson's edition gives precisely the same array of indexes as ChurchUl's. 2 In the Avertisement prefixed to the first volume the editor says : — " Je ne m'eten- " drai point sur ce qui la rend preferable " aux deux premieres, par rapport k I'ex- " actitude: j'avoue meme qu'on auroit pu " pousser les corrections beaucoup plus " loin encore qu'on n'a fait, s'il avoit ^te " permis de donner quelque chose h, la con- " jecture, dans des pieces ou tout est " sacr^." xcviii PREFACE. briefly describes the different classes of the people and the various natures of the Courts of Justice. It was first published in London in 1583, and has been many times reprinted both in Latin and in English in various sizes. The author is well known, not only as a statesman of some celebrity, but as the learned coadjutor of Sir John Cheke in the revival of classical learning in the sixteenth century. The nature of the work, and the hands through which it came to the editor of the Dutch edition of the « Foedera," are explained by him in the following title prefixed to the treatise, " De I'estat et " Gouvernment du Koyaume d'Angleterre, avec une nouvelle " addition des principales Oours du dit Koyaume et des officiers « d'iceUes Cours.

KB. — Le " Manuscrit a 6t4 donne par feu Monseigneur le Prince de Cond^ h, " M. la Comte de Bethune." The Ahr^gS Historique, perhaps the most remarkable feature in this edition, occupies nearly six hundred pages of the tenth volume. Tlas Abr^^ is so intimately connected with the "Foedera," and indeed has so nearly become a component part of it, that its history deserves some attention. At the time when Le Clerc received the volumes of the "Foedera" through the medium of Lord Halifax, he was the editor of a literary review, entitled " Bibliotheque Choisie," published at Amsterdam in 12mo. Desirous of doing honour to Lord Halifax for his valuable gift, and, at the same time of giving his review all the superiority over its competitors which could be derived fi-om the possession of these important volumes, he proposed to insert in the "Bibliotheque Choisie" a series of articles which should illustrate and explain the contents of the " Foedera.^' The first of these articles appeared in the 16th volume of the " Bibliotheque Choisie," and, besides a brief account of the history of the work, contained an abstract of the contents of the first volume. Le Clerc's numerous occupations prevented him from fulfilling his intention of continuing these articles, and for several years after the publication of the first of them the design was dropped. In the meantime the subject was taken up in another quarter. Le Clerc, as before mentioned, lent the volumes of the " Foedera " to Rapin, who was then employed upon his English History. Upon returning the second volume, Rapin acknowledged his obligation PREFACE. xcix for the loan, accompanying it with an abstract or abridgment of its contents, written in Fremch, and arranged under the heads of the principal historical transactions to which the documents con- tained in the volume related. This was exactly what Le Clerc wanted, and it was probably written with more knowledge of the subject than was possessed by Le Clerc himself. Rapin's ab- stract of the second volume was immediately published in the " Bibliotheque Choisie," and he was invited by Le Clerc to write a series of similar articles upon the remaining volumes. He did so, and the papers which he thus contributed were from time to time inserted in the "Bibliotheque Choisie," and, after its relinquish- ment, in the " Bibliotheque Aucienne et Moderne," another review of the same kind established by Le Clerc as a successor to the Bibliotheque Choisie. This long series of articles comprised ab- stracts made by Eapin of the whole seventeen volumes of the " Foedera," and were highly and justly esteemed as a useful abridg- ment of an extremely scarce and exclusive work. Rapin's papers were considered to be of such value that, by the direction of Pen- sionary Fagel, the States printer at the Hague was employed to reprint them in one volume, with the addition of an article upon the first volume written by Rapin, in conformity with the plan upon which he had composed the rest. Only thirty copies of this work were printed, one of which found its way into the library of Martin Folkes, Esquire, President of the Royal Society. Abridgments of the remaining volumes edited by Sanderson were shortly afterwards made by some other person, but whether they were included in the Pensionary Fagel's reprint I have not been able to discover ; they are, however, to be found in the last volume of the Hague edition. A work relating principally to English history, and which had attracted so much attention upon the continent, was soon thought worthy of publication in England. Mr. Stephen Whatley, a person employed by the London bookseEers in making translations from the French, was encouraged to undertake a translation of it by William Benson, to whom the nation is indebted for the monument to Milton in Westminster Abbey, and Martin Folkes lent Whatley hia copy of Pensionary Fagel's reprint. The translation was first published in the years 1726 and 1727 in twenty-five numbers, which form four volumes 8vo, and besides the article by Le Clerc upon the first volume, and Rapin's articles upon the volumes from II. to XVII., it also contains Rapin's supplementary article upon g2 c PREFACE. volume I. Tlie full title of Whatley's book will be seen in the foot note.^ An edition of Whatley's translation was published in 42 numbers, in folio in 1732, and in 1733 the translator prefixed a dedication to William Prince of Orange, although his old patron, Benson, to whom the octavo edition was dedicated, was still alive. The folio edition does not comprise Le Clerc's article upon vol. I., but, on the other hand, it contains a translation of the abridgments of volumes XVIII.^ and SIX., which were not included in the octavo edition. In neither of them is there any abridgment of volume XX.* The publication of the " Acta Kegia " seems to have been an infringement of Tonson's licence of the 24th of May 1723, but probably evaded its literal meaning. In the Dutch edition of the " Fcedera " we find the abstract of vol. I. by Le Clerc, all Rapin's papers, and also a continuation,* which embraces the documents in volumes XVIII., XIX., and XX. ^ " Acta Uegia; or an Account of the " Treaties, Letters, and Instruments be- " tween the Monarchs of England and " IToreign Powers, published in Rymer's " Fcedera, which are the basis of the Eng- " lish History, and contain those authorities " which rectify the mistakes that most of " our writers have committed for want of " such a collection of Records.

In mentioning it the editor says : — " II y a " sept ans que ce nouveau Tome a paru, " sans que I'Abr^viateur Anglois alt " rempli sa promesse. Pour supplier J, ce " dffaut, le Llbraire J. Neaulme en donne " ici en Francois un Extrait Historique, " qui, quoique travaille moins & loisir que " ceux des dix-neuf autres Tomes, ne " laissera pas de mettre le Lecf enr au fait, " tant des 6venemens les plus remarqua- '• bles de demieres annees du Regne de « Ctarles L, &c." ■' This continuation is epitqmized in an alphabetical order, and has been condemned by Dr. Clarke as " destitute of lucid ar- " Tangement and distinguishing leading " principles." (See Dr. Clarke's Second Report in the General Reports of the Com- missioners of Public Records, 1819, i., p. 1 2 7 ; also the General Introduction to the Fcedera, p. vii.) Rapin, however, differed essentially from Dr. Clarke on this subject. He states: — "Puisque nous voici parvenus " ^ la fin de cette annee, qui doit faire " aussi la conclusion du XVHI.

PREFACE. ci All these papers are classed together under the general title " Abrege " Historique des Actes Publics d'Angleterre recueilles par Thomas " Rymer." On the score of greater convenience, more portable size, a better index and increased comprehensiveness, the third or Hague edition of the " Fcedera " is preferable to the others. The Hague edition, like its two predecessors, soon became diffi- Latest edition ° _ ' _ ^ ' _ under the cult to obtain, and was much in demand. - These facts and other cir- superintend- cumstances determined the late Commissioners on Public Records to Record undertake a new edition, and on a more extensive and magnificent Commission. scale. Their resolution arose out of the following circumstance. A Select Committee of the House of Commons was appointed in the year 1800 to inquire into the state of the public records of the realm, and, among other things, it reported to the house that the state papers published together in " Rymer's Fcsdera" formed a most valuable collection. As the work did not come down lower in date than the first six years of Charles the Second during the usur- pation, they recommended a supplementary selection of such other important papers as had been omitted by the original compiler, and they deemed it advisable to have it continued to the Revolution, or even to the accession of the House of Hanover. The Record Commissioners, who were appointed by George the steps taken by Third to carry out the measures recommended by the House of Commissioners. Commons, gave their early attention to the " Fcedera ; " but, unfor- tunately, they possessed little acquaintance with the literature of records and ancient diplomacy. They had not sufficiently weighed the difiiculties they would have to encounter in following out the suggestion of the Committee of the House of Commons. However, they directed their secretary, Mr. Topham, to write to the several keepers of the records in the Tower of London, the Rolls Chapel, the Chapter House, Westminster, the State Paper Office, the Privy Council Office, and to the Clerks of the Signet, to consider and submit to the Board a proper selection of records, instruments, and state papers in their custody, for the purpose of forming a supplement to Rymer's Fcedera during the period of time comprehended in that work, and also with a view to its continua- tion to the accession of George the Second. No time was lost in replying to the Commissioners by the several gentlemen having the custody of the public records. Mr. Astle re- ported to the Board on the 24th of March 1802, that he had caused selections to be made from the records in his charge at the Tower from the reign of John to that of Edward the Fourth, both included. cii PREFACE. Mr. Kipling stated that he had prepared selections from the muni- ments at the Rolls Chapel down to the time of George the Second, and Mr. Planta was requested to examine the collection of Rymer's manuscripts in the British Museum, to compare them with the printed work, and to report how far the same had been already included in it. The next step taken by the Record Commissioners was that which they ought to have taken in the first instance, namely, to secure the services of a person duly qualified to undertake the examination and arrangement of the returns made from the State Paper Office, the Tower, Chapter House, and British Museum. Mr. Kipling was ordered to revise his selections from the Rolls Chapel, and the Master of the Rolls was requested to inspect the catalogue proposed by Mr. Kipling, and to note such as he judged unfit to be included in the supplement to and continuation of Rymer's work. Mr. Kipling was fiirther ordered to prepare his work for press, and submit his manuscript to the Record Commissioners. Mr. Samuel Lysons (who had succeeded Mr. Astle as keeper of the Tower records) was requested to report on the documents which had been selected at the Tower under the superintendence of his predecessor ; that conscientious and erudite scholar, however, find- ing such a work incompatible with his official duties, respectfully declined the task. After he had commenced an examination of the extracts from the calendars to the patent and close rolls, with a view to a report on a proper selection of the Tower records for the continuation and supplement of the Fcedera, Mr. Lysons remarks, "As a general report on a proper selection from the " records in my office, which appears to be desired by his Majesty's " Commissioners, it would have given me much pleasure to have " been able to comply with this request, but what I consider as " the positive duties of my office occupying so much of my time " at present, that I could not undertake a work of such magni- " tude and nicety, even if I were confident in the sufficiency of my " judgment for it."

The secretary was also directed to obtain admission for him to the several public ofiices and libraries which it might be necessary for him to consult. He was further ordered to prepare a scheme for the first volume of a supplement, and the first volume of a continuation, specifying, in the same manner as sketched out in his synopsis, all the articles or instruments he proposed to insert, and to lay the same before the Board with all convenient despatch.

It is not necessary here to do more than remark, that it "^ ^^^' is evidently the production of a person unskilled in records, and who wrote from the information of othets rather than from his own experience. About fourteen months after Dr. Clarke had issued this essay, he appears to have entirely changed the opinions he then expressed, and recommended the Record Board to alter the supplement and continuation which had been suggested by the House of Commons into a new edition of the whole work, with a ' " A Synopsis of the Contents and Defi- " ciencies of the first 100 years of Eymer's " Foedela."

All the rest are left blank. civ PREFACE. more scientific and methodical arrangement. Some of the reasons pressed by Dr. Clarke for this total change of purpose, if not convincing were at least specious, and were calculated to mislead a body of gentlemen little acquainted with matters of this nature. He pointed out the importance of the Foedera as a great national work^ the scarcity and value of copies of it, the fact that many of the originals had been either lost or rendered useless by an injurious application of a solution of galls. He pressed upon the Commis- sioners che necessity of having the whole body of its contents cor- rected, methodized, and arranged, in conjunction with the new materials which had been discovered since Rymer first formed his collection. In direct opposition to the House of Commons, he condemned " supplements," as being of comparatively little use, and in support of his censure he brought forward the fact that when Geoi'ge Holmes was employed to examine and collate the articles in Rymer with the originals in the Tower, the fruit of his labour was a volume of corrections and emendations, which were printed separately, and yet this was not judged sufficient ; consequently, a new edition of the work had been recommended and executed, in which the corrections and emendations were inserted in their proper places. Either for the purpose of undervaluing the services of Holmes, or for some other object not apparent on the face of his censure, Dr. Clarke asserted that he had sufficient proof that Holmes did not collate the papers at the Tower with any tolerable degree of care, and that many omissions had been discovered on recollation, not of single words only, but of whole sentences. Dr. Clarke's For the purpose of ascertaining the correctness of Dr. Clarke's censure ordered . , to be examined, accusation, I Was employed in the year 1834 by the Commissioners on Public Records to make a careful examination into this subject From my report to the Commissioners, as it has never been printed, I have no hesitation in selecting the following extracts Extracts from here. I observed that " it is only necessarv to consider the emen- a Eeport on subject. " dations really efitected by Holmes in his edition, and to oppose " them to the variations from the original records to be found as " well in the new as in the old edition of Rymer, to make it " evident that so severe a censure upon Holmes had better have " been spared ; for, notwithstanding this charge of errors ascribed " to the neglect of the latter, I have not been fortunate enough to " discover any instance of the correction of such errors in the new " edition. In justice to the memory of Holmes, it is but fair to " state that he certainly did collate most of the articles in the 1st PREFACE. CV " edition with their corresponding documents in the Tower, dis- " covering and correcting Aany errors, and that those he allowed " to remain in the 2nd edition are but few in number, of very " trifling importance, and scarcely, if at all, affecting the sense of . " the passages to which they belong. It is likewise clear that of '' the instruments in which such errors are to be found he had not " compared a single one with its original, probably owing to his " being unable to lay his hand upon such original at the time. " What were his reasons for not collating any of the documents " prior to the reign of King John, it would perhaps be difficult " at this time to say ; but that he began no earlier is fairly to be " concluded from his emendations commencing with the first " i/nstrument in that reign." To return to the new edition. " I felt it my duty to state, that Clarke's in. " m;^ researches had not enabled me to find therein any emendation Holmes. " of importance beyond those actually made by Holmes. This con- " elusion, founded upon the examination of only a very limited " number of the instruments, is, however, by no means intended to " convey an impression that no corrections have been made in the " new edition. Possibly there may be many, and very valuable " emendations may have been effected with regard to those instru- «' ments, which it has not occurred to me to compare with the " originals ; but in those which I have collated, the alterations " appear to be merely such as would readily suggest themselves to " any person possessing a competent knowledge of the Latin " language when collating the original record. The only example " of gross inaccuracy amended in the new edition seems to me to " be merely the particular one selected for notice in the preface to " the same ; and even in this instance it is observable, that the " correction occurs in a portion of the work relative to a period " long preceding that at which Holmes appears to have commenced " his labours, that is, before the first year of the reign of John, " which was probably owing to the fact that the regular series of " the Chancery rolls in the Tower does not begin at an earlier period. " It is somewhat remarkable that Holmes should have been " accused, in such unqualified terms, of a general want of care, " since it is admitted in the General Introduction to the new " edition (page 10) that ' as the work had been printed from the " ' 2nd edition, collated by Holmes with the originals in the " • Tower, it was not thought necessary to recoUate all the papers " ' in that repository.' That the new editor should thus follow in " the steps of a man whom he charged with having so unsteadily CVi PREFACE. " trod the path of duty was assuredly not to' have been expeeted' " in a work where accuracy was a desideratum of great if not of " the very first importance ; more especially as it had been pre- • " viously stated that ' the papers from the Tower were'in a more " ' incorrect state than those taken from any other office ;' and that " ' many had been copied with a most reprehensible neglect.' It " is also difficult to conceive for what reason the recollation of " documents in the new edition began no sooner than the reign " of Edward I.; a,nd still more incomprehensible that, after the " beneficial results of such recollation had become strikingly ap- " parent, this most important part of the editor's duty was " totally abandoned.

" the Foedera may be considered as an improvement upon its 'pre- " decessors, or to enumerate the many points in regard to which " the just expectation of those who have had occasion to consult " it have been disappointed. Many have complained of negligence " and inconsistency in its orthography and punctuation ; others, of " great inaccuracy as to dates, and in the arrangement of its instru- ^' ments ; and, on the other side, some few have been found to " speak of it in terms of unqualified approbation. Opposite " opinions of its faults and its advantages may doubtless continue " to be entertained. For myself, I am wholly unconscious of any " disposition to view the new edition of the Fcedera through a " medium of hypercriticism ; but, called upon for a statement of " facts, it has imperatively become my duty to make you no other " than a faithful return to your inquiries regarding its accuracy ; " and though some of the errors noticed in Appendix A.^ may be " considered but of a trifiing nature, and others may be found to " have in no way acted as impediments to a complete or sufficient " understanding of the instruments to which they respectively " belong, yet it cannot be denied that, insignificant or not, they " could scarcely have been overlooked in the course of a careful " collation with the original records, had such been the practice " adopted and strictly adhered to." The Kecord Board did not at first accede to the advice given by Dr. Clarke ; but he Was not to be defeated. At the end of twelve months he again brought forward his project, and endeavoured to show that a new edition was the only course likely to meet the wishes or demands (d the public. In an evil hour the counsels of ' Appendix to the Report. PREFACE. CVii Dr. Clarke prevailed, and the Commissioners gave way, in hope that the work would thus bfe made more complete and more useful. We must lament the step thus taken by the Commissioners. The determination to reprint 20 folio volumes, in an extravagant and unwieldy form, whilst whole classes of important records remained unpublished, was, to say the least of it, a proceeding of lavish impro- priety, and of which no persons who had to employ their own means and substance would have been guilty. The determination was opposed to the recommendation of the House of Commons ; but what was to be expected from an irresponsible Board, the several members of which had probably never consulted the Foedera, and only knew its nature from the reports of Dr. Clarke ? Be this,' however, as it may. Dr. Clarke was on the 24th of March 1810 authorized to undertake a new edition of the Foedera. That the Foedera is a most important national publication is conceded by everyone whose opinion is worth regarding, but its scarceness was very much ex- aggerated by Dr. Clarke, and his allegation that many of the original documents had been lost, and many destroyed by galls, was most illogical and absurd. Had such been the case, how could they have been of any use in a new edition ? Documents lost or destroyed were no longer available for examination or collation, whereas the press had already perpetuated them, and given them all the publicity and permanency within its power. The only valid, argument, brought forward by Dr. Clarke in favour of the new edition, was the con- venience of having the supplementary documents inserted in chronological order with those previously printed, an advantage that no one will deny, but which it was possible to purchase too dearly. I propose in my preface to the next volume of this Syllabus to examine critically the materials added to the work by Dr. Clarke, and which he has condemned Rymer for omitting. It now only remains for me to explain the object and plan of the ^^^, Syllabus present work. Its object is to give, in English, a condensed notice its object. of each instrument, printed in the several editions of the " Foedera," arranged in chronological order, its a sort of precursor of the Calendars of State Papers now in progress, under the direc- tion of the Master of the Eolls, and thus supply the student, who may not have the means of procuring the ponderous and expensive volumes of the " Foedera," with a synopsis of state papers anterior to the time of the Tudors when the Calendars commence. It is not intended to supersede the "Fcedera," but to bring it more under the notice of the statesman and historical scholar than it has cviii PEEFACE. lately occupied. It is true that the " Fcedera " does not exhaust the subject to which it is devoted, as I shall presently show ; but it is, nevertheless, a vast magazine of state papers, protocols, and memorials, which ought to be gravely studied, not only for the history of England, but for that of Europe generally. Its plan. It jjag already been stated that Le Clerc and Rapin both published abstracts or abridgments of the Foedera ; the former confining his task to the first volume, the latter extending his to the seventeen volumes which had appeared during his time ; a third (unknown person) abridged the 18th, 19th, and 20th volumes. The present Syllabus does not resemble either of its three predecessors. Lc Clerc's Lg Clerc's object was to give a comprehensive idea of the use that might be made of the " Foedera ;" first, by general remarks on the importance of its materials, and secondly, by making selec- tions from it in illustration of his comment. This plan was certainly justified in explaining to foreigners the speciality of a work, so unlike anything that had hitherto been published on the continent. His selections, however, were few in comparison with the instruments with which he had to deal. Eapin's. Rapin's intention was to show the relation which the acts in the Fcedera stand to the events which occurred, and to illustrate t.he one by the other. To use his own words, he considered the "Foedera" as a body without a soul, which required the thread of history to illustrate and support it. He therefore undertook to show the relation of the acts in the Foedera to the History of England, and their importance in illustrating the public and private transactions of each reign; but as he proceeded, his materials became too diversified for his project, and he found it impossible to reduce his plan to general heads, and consequently was under the necessity of varying the course of his design, and was com- pelled, as it were, to cut up the History of England into strips and classify his subjects under difiFerent heads ; for instance he divides the events of the reign of Edward the First into eight sections,' bringing imder each the various instruments especially pertaining to each topic from the beginning to the end of the reign ; thus, all the acts relative to Scotland are brought together; as are all ecclesiastical affairs relating as well to England alone as to the King's controversies with Rome ; the disputes between Eng- land and France; the war in Wales; the affairs concernino- England in particular ; the differences between the two families of Aragon and Anjou, of which. Edward I. was the mediator; PREFACE. cix special acts relating to the King and his family ; and, lastly, distinct acts which could act be arranged under either of the other sections. It should also be . stated that Eapin did not include in his abridgment all the documents printed in the Fcedera ; he omitted those which were not important for the object he had in view. This mode of proceeding might have been well enough for Rapin's purpose, but it is surely not the way to study history as a science. The Syllabus aims at none of these distinctions ; its object, as I '^^ Syllabus, have already stated, is simply to give a synopsis of the whole of the Fcedera in the fewest words possible and in strictly chronological sequence, pointing out the pages where each act occurs in the several editions ; and with this view it has been found necessary to depart from the order in which several of the acts have been placed by Rymer and the editors who followed him, either through care- lessness or ignorance ; for instance, under the year 1101 Rymer has printed three documents — one of which belongs to the year 1249, another to 1177, and a third to 1174. Under the year 1162 he has given a papal bull belonging to the year 1 257 ; under the year 1200 another bull is found appertaining to 1245. Under 1174 he has placed a charter of the year 1236, and under 1427 a document belonging to 1509. But it is needless to continue this subject, inasmuch as a list of all the transpositions will appear in the Appendix to the next volume. That the Syllabus might have been given in greater detail there can be no doubt, but a fuller abstract would have greatly increased the size of the work without effecting any positive advantage, and in fact would have deprived it of its chief recommendation, as affording a compact and lucid outline of the leading wants of our national history. If it had been an analysis of unpublished materials, which could not be readily consulted, then a more ample abridg- ment would have been required ; but in a synopsis of a printed work, usually found in every public library and in many private collections, it would seem to be a superfluous task to do more than call attention to each piece in as brief a manner as is compatible with clearness. Each article has been condensed into the fewest words, and it is hoped that the arrangement will satisfy the requirements of those for whose service it has been compiled. The Syllabus may also be used as a general index to the several editions, chronologioallyv arranged, and if read continuously it will afford the student a skeleton of English History, and give liim a much more faithful picture of the events of any particular period ex PREFACE. than can be gathered from tlie pages of the writers of the age to which those events relate. For instance, secrets of state quite unknown to contemporary annalists are brought to light ; chasms ia history are filled up from undoubted sources; the causes and consequences of things are made clear by tracing their beginning, their progress, and their end ; for it must be remembered that every event in history arose from some preceding transaction, and became in its turn the parent of others. A contemptible squabble between the masters of two trading vessels has more than once brought two friendly nations into a collision which has only been repaired after years of sanguinary conflict and ruinous expense. A general index of the names of persons and places which occur in the Syllabus will be found at the end "of the second volume. A third volume will be wholly devoted to a general index of the names of persons and places, including also matters which appear in all the editions of the Fcedera, and so arranged as to suit each edition. It is, however, necessary to state that, except under special circumstances, the orthography of the proper names, as they occur in the Fcedera, though not always correct, has been adopted both in the Syllabus and the indexes. To have altered the spelling from what it appears in the printed volumes would have been productive of much inconvenience to those consulting the work. I have already intimated that, although the Fcedera supplies a vast amount of historical information in the character of State Papers and diplomatic instruments anterior to the reign of Henry VIII., when the Calendars to those documents commence, yet it does not, by any means, exhaust those subjects : much more remain unpublished than have already appeared. Any work, there- fore, which should indicate these inedited materials would be of the highest importance to the student ; and no one can doubt that the nation ought to possess some uniform work of the kind, in which all articles of real importance should be noticed, necessary for the illus- tration of English history from the earliest period down to the Kevolution of 1688. I do not now allude to topographical or local history, but to a public or political history in the widest sense of the term. In such a work should be found (those printed in the Fcedera, of course, always excepted) aU conventions and treaties between foreign princes and the sovereigns of England ; letters and other documents illustrative of such treaties; conventions and treaties between foreign princes and powers having reference to English interests, or illustrative of English history; conventions PREPAOE. cxi between foreign princes and potentates and the subjects of Kings of England ; public and private acts of foreign princes illustrative of English history ; papal bulls, briefs, and other ecclesiastical docu- ments manifesting the exercise of papal authority over the subjects or institutions of this kingdom ; correspondence of the Kings of England with their own subjects, illustrative of general history ; correspondence of Kings of England with foreign communities, noblemen, merchants, and others ; correspondence between foreign potentates and British subjects; acknowledgments of allegiance and service of rights belonging to the Kings of England from foreign princes and their subjects ; letters of safe conduct, credence, and protection, and letters, though neither royal, nor proceeding from any constituted a.uthorities, yet illustrative of English his- tory. Specimens of the whole of these here enumerated may be seen in the Fcedera. Such a work as I have suggested should be a Supplement to the Fcedera, and should contain a brief but complete Calendar of all authentic documents tq be found amongst English Records, necessary for the verification and illustration of the political, ecclesiastical, civil, and military history of Great Britain. In the Appendix to the Second Volume of the SyUabus will be fovind a specimen of the work to which I have called the reader's attention. I cannot close these pages without referring to the assistance I have received in collecting the materials which form the basis of this preface. I should indeed be ungrateful did I not acknowledge, with very many thanks, the valuable and ready aid I have received from several members of the Public Record Office who have helped me in every way in their power ; to mention their names would look like a parade of friendship ; there is one of them, however, to whom I would tender my especial thanks — I mean my valued friend, Mx. John Bruce, who, having travelled over the same ground as myself in a Memoir of Rymer, placed the whole of his mateffiala in my hand. Although I found much that I already possessed, yet Mr. Bruce's papers gave me information that had escaped my research. Unconnected with the Pubhc Record Office, I gladly record my oblig9(tions to the Rev. H. R Luard, of Cambridge, the President of Queens' College, Cambridge, the Master of Sydney College, Cam- bridge, the Rev. James Raine, of York, Mr. N. E. S. A. Hamilton, of the British Museum, Mr. W.

Sir, — ^By my last you knew that the French had received our ratifica- tion under the signett, and putt it coUationed into the mediatour's hands : so that I thought the difficulty over : but on Saturday, when they under- stood that the Instrument under the great seal was come from England, they informed my Lords A.mbassad™ by the mediaf that they excepted ag' the stile of rex Francice, and after some arguing upon that point they came to this, that they would be satisfied provided we would declare thait we would change it if it were found otherwise in the ratification of the treaty of Breda, and of other treaties made since. It would be long to tell you the expedients w"'' have been proposed and the messages w"'' have been sent and returned upon this subject. Their ExceU"*' stick to the treaty of Breda for their precedent, but do not think it proper to stick to such loose terms as, and the treaties made since, or and all other treaties, for they do not know but that the style of rex Franciee may have been omitted in those negligent times, when France had but too much influence upon our negociations : their Excell°^= will have a conference with the French Ambass™ too-morrow on this subject, of which in my next I shall send you the result. I do not question but that the thing will go as we desire it, the ratification having already been efiectually exchanged. It is not proper that our Jacobites have the least air of it, for they turn everything to an ill use, tho' I think the French themselves mean no more in it then to be assured that this is the usual stile, and to have made a little shuffle in yielding : this is my present thought of this matter. I have yours of the 28"» past and 1=' of this month, with the old records of Mr. Rymer. There will be no difiiculty about the language then to know if the part of the Instrument which the French took away with them were in Latin or (as they pretend) in French : and as to this point of rex Franeia, tho' surely that Style was never omitted in any act of ratification that passed the great seal, yett their Excell"™ would not be ensnared (at the latter end of a negociation) by either their tout les traites faits depuis celuy de Breda or tous les traites en general, if Mr. Rymer would give us an ace* of the ratifications that have been made these 30 years (with reference to this point) he would oblige us — I am.

The original of the American treaty wh«^ you have in yo'' keeping does not determine the question as to the language, for that is our part of the treaty, in which you will find (I suppose) that we signed first, but the other part in which vice versa they signed first, and which Barillon took to France, would clear the doubt ; the Latin instrument would tell us if rex Franeim be expressed : of which a word . .

Sheweth, That Ealph Eymer, gentleman, at the beginning of the late troubles was tenant unto Sir Edward Osborne, your petitioner's late father, deceased, of certain lands in Yafford and Wickmore, in the county of York, under the yearly rent of 200Z. And your petitioner's father being enaged in the serving of your Majesty's late royal father during the war, and sequestered for his pretended delinquencies, the said Ealph Eymer received the profits of the said lands, and also seized upon several of his goods, all which he converted to his own use, without giving any account for the same till your petitioner commenced suit against him. That, now being questioned for the said rent and goods, the said Eymer, being a treasurer under the late usurped authority, hath charged himself in his account given in before an auditor with the sum of 346/. received out of the said lands and for the said goods not accounted for, which, according to the late Act [12 Car. II. (1660) c. 11. § 10. (Stat, of Eealm, vol. 5. p. 228-9] is due unto your Majesty. He therefore humbly prays that your Majesty would be graciously pleased to grant unto him the said sum appearing to be due for the profits of his said father's lands and for his goods, which were sequestered and seized only for his loyalty. And your petitioner shall ever pray, &c. At the Court at Whitehall, April the 21st 1663. His Majesty being sensible of the petitioner's good afiection and loyalty, is graciously inclined to grant to the-petitioner's suit, and refers it to the Eight Honourable the Lord High Treasurer of England to examine the truth of what is alleged in the petition, and that appearing, to certify his opinion thereupon to his Majesty; who will then declare his further pleasure.

Sir, March 14, 1756. "A continual hurry of business & a good deal of illness, for these five weeks past, prevented my visiting the Chapter-house at West- minster till lately, agreeable to my promise, when I had the pleasure of seeing you in Burlington Street, else you had sooner heard from me. I got a sight of the Cromwell Collection of Letters, but found it impossible, without spending more time than I could afford, to make myself sufficiently acquainted with their contents so far to foim a proper judgement how far they might be usefuU to you or Dr. Neve in your intended answer to Phillips. Mr. Farley, who is the chief clerk under Mr. Morley, Keeper of the Records here, told me he did not- doubt of your having free access to these papers on a proper application to Mr. Morley, and you might transcribe whatever you chose out of them, as the office is open certain hours every day. I doubt indeed a daily attendance here would not well suit either with you or Dr. Neve's situa- tion. I would, therefore, advise you to engage Dr. Birch, who grudges no trouble where he can serve the public in a literary way, to spend some mornings in looking over the collection, and if he finds much to your purpose, it may be worth while to apply to the Crown, or perhaps to Mr. GrenviUe only, for permission to borrow them out of the office, as CXX PEEFACE.

Some days since, he desir'd me to ask the favour of Dr. Hudson, to lend him the Manuscript to London, for the completing of his 3'^ Volume, w°^ he is now upon ; imagining that I cxxiv PKEFACE. had more interest in the Doctor, than any man who belongs to Lambeth, is to reckon upon, after the War declar'd in his Preface to Dionysius. However being very desirous to serve Mr. Eymer, and to see his Collection as complete ks it can be made ; I would beg the favour of you, to ask D' Hudson whether he have such a manuscript, and whether he will be pleas'd to favour the publick by communicating it to Mr. Kymer, for the Design I have mention'd. I doubt not Dr. Hudson's readiness to help forward soe good a work, but am afraid that he may have made it a part of the Bodleian Library, so far as to bring it under the Statute. If he have not, Mr. Eymer will think it a great obligation to have the favour of perusing it in London, and having serv'd the design he has in hand, will faithfully return it. " We are told that D'' Hudson is upon a new Catalogue of the printed books in the publick Library.

XXI. The impropriety of inserting instruments only found in printed books in such a work as the Foedera, professing to contain only original instru- ments preserved in the royal archives, cannot be wholly defended. Though Eymer has printed no less than 118 of such instruments, and very seldom mentions the source from which he had derived them, some plea may be advanced in his vindication, so far as monastic chronicles are concerned. It must be remembered that in ancient times, when the king travelled, he was always accompanyed by his chancellor, and generally held his court at those monasteries which were of royal foundation. At these places pubKc instruments of every description were executed with the same solemnity as in the royal palace, and the archives of such religious houses were used for the temporary repository of these royal evidences. This is evident from the fact that on the 23rd of March, in the 1 9th year of his reign, Edward I, issued his writs under the Privy Seal to various religious PREFACE. cxxxi houses, commanding them " to cause their chronicles and other secrets to *' be diligently searched undea.- the direction of the king's messenger, and " to transcribe and certify in open letters, sealed with their common seal, " whatever they should find relating to the kingdom, kings or presidents of " Scotland." Various certificates were consequently sent to the king, from which an abstract was drawn up, and inserted in the public instrument known as the Great Boll of Scotland, by John Erturi of Caen, and entitled, " Haec suat quae iq antiquis cronicis, de quibus supra in principio fit mentio, " in diversis Angliee et Scoti® monasteriis, inter alia fuerunt inventa ; per " quEB evidenter apparet, quod Beges Anglise, ab antique, habuerunt " subjectionem, homagium, et fidelitatem, ac superius et directum dominium " regni Scoti«, sicut plenius iwfra patet," The historians named in this iastrument are Marianus Scotus (i.e. Florence of Worcester), Roger of Hoveden, William of Malmegbury, Henry of Huntingdon, Ralph de Diceto, the " Cronica Sancti Albani," and a book of the Life and Miracles of St. John of Beverley. As bearing strongly on the question under considera- tion, it is necessary to cite a passage extracted from Hoveden's Annals, under the year 1175, containing a complete copy of the convention between William King of Scotland and Henry 11., executed at St. Peter's Church at York, when the Scottish monarch and his subjects swore allegi- ance to the King of England. It is introduced thus : " Anno Domini " mUIesimo centesimo septuagesimo quinto, decimo quinto Kal. Martii, " WiUelmus Rex Scotorum liber abire permisisus est : postea vero, apud " Eboracum, eodem anno, tertiH die post Assumptionem beatae Marias, " scilicet decimo septimo !^!alendas Septembris, facta fuit conventio et finis " inter praedictum Henricum Begem Angliae, et preefatum Willehnum " regem Scotise. Cujus tenor talis est." * flS '9f itt ^ " Hiis itaque recitatis, in ecclesia Sancti Petri Eboracensis, coram praa- " dictis regibus Angliae et coram Eege Scotise et David fratre suo, et " universe populo, episcopi, comites, barones, et milites de terra Eegis " Scotiae, juraverunt domino regi Anglise et Henrico filio suo, et haeredibus " eorum, fidelitatem contra omnem homiaem, sicut ligiis dominis suis." It is a curious fact that Hoveden's recital of this important public instru- ment, — ^the proof of England's sovereignty in deciding the claims of the competitors for the Scottish crown, — ^was used as evidence in a matter of the most critical moment, in preference to the public record of the homage recorded in the black book of the Exchequer, and which is fuller and apparently more trustworthy than Hoveden's text. In addition to these facts, it may be mentioned that Edward I. issued his writs, dated 26th September 1300, to forty-six abbeys, priories, and cathedrals, requiring them diligently to search all the chronicles, archives, and secrets of their houses, and to transmit whatsoever they could find touching the right and dominion of the Kings of England (the sovereignty of which had been claimed by the Pope) by the most trusty and skilful of their societies respectively, to the King at his Parliament, appointed to meet at I^incoln. The reader's attention must also be directed to the fact that in 1207 the letters testimonial of Adelheid, Countess of Holland, certifying to the King the marriage of her daughter with Louis Count of Los, and the letters of Thomas Bishop of Utrecht, and Count Odo, were placed in the custody of i 2 cxxxii PEEFACE. the Abbot of Eeading, " Qu» omnes litterse patentes missae sunt abbati de " Rading ad custodiendum." There is further proof that instruments of great national importance, such as Magna Charta, the Charta de Forestis, &c., ■were sent to the principal monastic houses, to be recoi-ded in their archives. The foregoing instances are sufficient to exculpate Kymer from the charge which has been brought against him of printing instruments from monastic chronicles in preference to the originals in the public archives; In those cases where the instrument is clearly within the scope of the Foedera, and about the authenticity of which there can be no doubt, and which cannot be found among the public muniments, it seems permissible to supply them from contemporary chronicles ; but where there is any doubt of the verity of the documents, such, for instance, as the letter of the Old Man of the Mountam, this licence must be withheld. Great blame, however, rests upon Eymer for concealing the sources whence he obtained his documents. His omission naturally awakens doubts as to his candour, and has the appearance of a desire to conceal a proceeding which he could not justify. XXII. Jacob Tonson's proposals appeared on the 28th January 1728-9 ; they were " for completing the subscription to a new edition of Eymer's Foedera " in 17 volumes folio, of which 15 volumes are already printed, and the " remaining 2 volumes will be finished before the 25th day of March next : " I. The number printed are only 200 copies, of which 150 are already " subscribed for. II. This work is printed with the utmost care ; and to " make it as exact as the nature of it requires and the importance of it " deserves, it hath been collated anew with the records in the Tower by " Mr. Holmes ; by which means many paragraphs and lines omitted in the " former edition are with due care supplied and corrected in this, which is " printed page for page with the first. III. The price to the subscribers of " the remaining 50 sets is 50 guineas for each set in sheets, 10 guineas of " which is to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the remaining 40 " guineas upon delivery of the 17 volumes in sheets. The subscrip- " tions are taken in by J. Tonson in the Strand ; and will be closed the '•' 10th day of March next at farthest, or sooner if completed before." Tonson thus announced his new edition in the "Daily Post Boyj" October 6, 1730 : " Now published, the new edition of seventeen volumes in " folio, of ' Fcedera,' Conventiones, Liter*, et cujuscunque generis Acta Pub- " lica, inter Eeges Angli», et alios quosvis Imperatores, Eeges, Pontifices, " Principes, vel Communitates, ab inuente Saeulo Duodecimo, viz. ab anno " 1101, ad nostra usque Tempora, habita aut tractata; ex Autographis " infra secretiores archivorum Regiorum Thesaurarais, per multa secula " reconditis, fideliter exscripta.

It also contains the three volumes which were added by Robert Sanderson, 1726-1735, bringing the collection down to the year 16 . PREFACE. cxxxiii XXIII. The undertaking was thus announced in the literary news of the day : " De la Haye. — On voit ici un projet du souscription pour reimprimer " seulement en dix volumes, les Acts Publics d'Angleterre, recueillis et " publics par Rymer, dont les deux Editions precedentes sont si rares et si " cheres.

In this collection there is before you, and for the most part from authentic sources, much information, which you would expect to learn, but will search for in vain in the pages of our historians. You will here find abundantly unfolded to your view those ancient memorials which were concealed from the knowledge of the writers of contemporary history. Eadmer, writing of the arrival of the Earl of Flanders at Dover, says in express words, that as regards the negotiation of the matter of his visit, it is known that nothing was done "nihil fuisse agnitum est." Here, however, you will see the very conventions themselves, made and written at Dover, transcribed from the autographs ; from them we learn, and posterity will also know, what was the object of his coming over, p. 6, 7. Now we ought not to be surprised at the ignorance of the monk Eadmer, who cannot be supposed to have taken much interest in secular matters, but what must we think of our own Matthew Paris, in whom you would not expect such an imperfect knowledge of events ; for he is regarded as a man of most careful observation, and is believed to have known everything that could be ascertained. Yet Matthew Paris himself frequently declares that he knew nothing of the mission on which messengers (afterwards called ambassadors) either came or were despatched. Thus he writes under the year 1255: "The elect of Toledo came into England, but for what cause it was not known." Now hei'e we have CXXXiv PREFACE. (pp. 325, 328, 331, 340) not only notices of his coming, but the cause of his coming. Under the year 1256 he writes : f'The Lord Abbot of Westminster and " Master Eustan, and the elect of Sarum, at the desire of the King, went « abroad on the King's afiairs, but nobody knows what was the secret " business they went on ; and we must trust that it may be good !" Here (pp. 350, 351, 355) you may fully learn from autograph bulls, what was the King's business, and the secret causes which made our monk so anxious and doubtful. Thus the mystery will no longer be concealed from the eyes of the curious. The Archbishop of Messina was sent from the Lord the Pope, but nobody knows why, says Matthew Paris, under the year 1257. Now the matters the Archbishop came to treat upon, and the letters of credence from Pope Alexander, together with the King's letter to Alexander, are fully set out at p. 350, 351, 355. But let us return to our old friends and the Flemish conventions, and while we ourselves are in darkness, let us see whether the historians of that country possessed greater light. A.D. 1066. It is certain that a sum of money for some ages was annually paid to the Counts of Flanders by the Kings of England. It is thus the historians of Flanders relate the matter. The Count of Flanders promised his co-operation and his aid to his son-in-law, William the First, on the condition that he and all the Kings of England after him should pay annually to the Counts of Flanders 300 marks of silver for ever. A.D. 1093. Eobert [Friso] died : he had resolved to wage war on England, to enforce the payment of 300 marks of silver, as we have men- tioned above, but being prevented by death he was unable to accomplish this. A.D. 1111. It is alleged by the Flemings) the annalist is speaking of Henry and Robert, between whom the present convention was made), that upon the tribute being demanded, Henry made answer, " It is not " consistent with the dignity of England that the realm should pay a subsidy " to Flanders." It happened not long afterwards, during a war with Eng- land, that Eobert being in the retinue of the King of France, fell from his wounded horse, was crushed, and the third day afterwards died. A.D. 1119. Baldwin, Count of Flanders, was incited against the Eng- lish, by the memory of his father slain in the English war, and the denial to himself of the above-mentioned tribute. The like statements Mezery, and I know not how many other minor historians, inculcate and repeat again and again. They were probably led .into this error by our William of Malmesbury, who thus mentions the subject from the beginning : Baldwin had powerfully assisted William when going to England, by the wisdom of his counsels and by a supply of soldiers. William had frequently made splendid returns for this, giving every year, as they report, three hundred marks of silver to his father-in-law on account of his fidelity and affinity. This munificence was not diminished towards his son Baldwin, but it was suspended in the case of Eobert Friso. This Eobert, the son of Friso, easily obtained the omitted largess from William the Second. But Henry, examining the business more deeply, as a man xREFA.CE. CXXXV who never desii'ed to obtain money improperly, nor ever wantonly exhausted it when acquired, gave the following reply to Robert on his return from Jerusalem, when imperiously making a demand, as it were, of three hundred marks of silver. He said that the Kings of England were not accustomed to pay tribute to the men of Flanders. In this way little stories are made up from vulgar rumours and conjec- tures, which are supported by no authentic memorials. But how different do the facts appear ! If any one will consult the chirographs of those acts he wiU find that no tribute or subsidy was ever paid to Flanders at all, but that an annual fee was granted to the Count of Flanders by his friend and superior lord the King of England, for homage done, fealty sworn, and service to be rendered. These facts we learn from the first convention, and from those which foUow for some ages afterwards : {Of the first chirograph.') 1. We gather from the words, "salva fidelitate Lodovici regis Francorum," that the Counts of Flanders from ancient times were vassals and men of the Kings of France. Pierre Dupuy, treating of this matter in his book, Des Droits du Roy, cites the first instance from Pierre d' Oudegreest under the year 1192, when Baldwin VII. did homage to Philip Augustus, but the authority given by us here is undoubtedly a noble and unimpeachable testimony almost a century earlier, and is derived from Robert of Jerusalem.^ (2.) Ecclesiastical writers may see what these five words, " salva fide- litate Lodovici regis Francorum," make for the authority of the church and the power of the Pope ; for it must be known that when these things were being done, Philip, the father of Louis, was still alive, but being excommunicated by the Papal authority, was put aside, and all fealty, with the title of King, was transferred to his son Louis. David Blondel, in his large work, De Formula, Regnante Christo, denies that Philip was in reality injured by this anathema, or in any way affected by the Papal thunderbolt. He says : " The royal title was never conferred upon Louis, during the lifetime of his father Philip ; — in the charters, which conclude with these words, 'facta an. ab incarnatione Domini 1100, Lodovico rege Francorum regnante ;" and he asserts that the year 1100 is falsely written for 1108, and he wrongly condemns ourHoveden for writing that "Louis King of the French was present, in 1101, at the court of " King Henry, in London, on Christmas Day." But why more on the subject ? In our chirograph the name of King Louis occurs so often that it speaks volumes against the contrary hypothesis, and serves to show how Vain is Blondel, and futile his labours. The date of this convention I gather thus : A.D. 1099, July 14, Jerusa- lem is taken. A.D. 1100, Robert, the brother of the King of England, Robert count of Flanders, and Eustace Count of Boulogne, return home. On his way, Robert, the King's brother, stops at Apulia to celebrate his nuptials with Sibylla, daughter of the Count of Conversana. Aug. 2 (in the same year), William IL, King of England, died. Aug. 5, on Sunday, Henry I. was crowned. And in the year following (May 7, 1 101), which was the first year of the reign of Henry I., this convention was made. In the ' He was called Robert of Jerusalem I that city from the Saracens by Godfrey of from his being present at the capture of I Bouillon. CXXXvi PKEFACE, month of August following, Eobert, the King's brother, with Sibylla his wife, returned to Normandy, prepared arms, and having got together his forces invaded England, to vindicate his right to that kingdom as the eldest son of WiUiam I. Eobert de Belesme deserted Henry and. gave in his adhesion to Eobert. This is the same Eobert de Belesme who was at Dover in the month of May to execute, on the part of King Henry, the chirograph between the King and the Count of Flanders. It appears, from the incision and a sort of label at the foot of the parch- ment, that the count's seal, which has been destroyed by age, was attached to it, in the Norman fashion, although that custom had not at the period obtained in Flanders. This first specimen shows the style of writing employed at the time, and also what was anciently understood by the term chirograph, and what by the expression " Charter divided after the manner of a chirograph." MabiUon (lib. v., De Re Diplomatiea) gives the date 1167 to a chiro- graph of this sort engraven on copper from an autograph of Louis VII., King of the French, and could discover no earlier document of the kind amongst the royal muniments. But the chirograph given by us is more than half a century earlier, and may be seen also engraven on copper. We have another chirograph of the same character in the reign of Henry II., A.D. 1163 ; and a chirograph indented under Eichard I., A.D. 1197. From such instruments without the majuscule letters, simple and letterless indentures, similar to those now in use, took their origin. The last-named specimen exhibits the very elegant and beautiful diploma of Alfonso, corroborated with a golden seal, to which Matthew Paris refers,' when he says : " The ambassadors aforesaid brought back " both favour and friendship, together with a certain noble charter, the " golden bull of which weighed one mark of silver." From which we infer that our Matthew Paris had both seen and handled it. This instrument is one of those called Privilleios Radados, from the " Eueda del Signo," the wheel or cipher of the royal signature, called by us the " sign manual " or " royal signature ; " the form of which is described in the laws of Alfonso, written in a wheel : In the centre are a cross and the royal arms ; in the next circle the name of the Kin» from whom the privilege emanates ; and in the larger circle the confirmation of the Alferiz and majordomo. In this one of ours the " Alferizia " is not given. Many persons who happen to have seen only bullaria and short apo- graphs have no means of knowing what is the signature of the Pope, and what is a monogram ; and some persons can scarcely distinguish between the Pope's monogram, his signature, and his seal. Papebroch is of opinion that the custom of dating bulls and pontifical rescripts from the incarnation of our Lord was introduced by Eugenius IV. ; and that the bulls anterior to that period bearing the year of the incarnation are either false or corrupt. This Mabillon fuUy refutes ; that no one in our days may fall unawares into similar errors, we have given three specimens of the more remarkable of such Papal bulls. {Of the second chirograph.) The capital letters at the top of this parchment, cut in two, shew that this instrument of convention is also a Under the year 12S3, p. 873. PEEFACE. cxxxvii chirograph ; the lower part of the membrane has suffered from decay, so that no remains of the sealing are to be seen. Eadmer seems to point out the date when this treaty was made in the following passage : '— " In the year of our Lord's incarnation, 1102, in the " fourth year of the Popedom of Paschal, the Supreme Pontiff, the third " of the reign of Henry, the glorious king of the English, he himself " consenting, a council is celebrated at the Church of St. Peter, in the " west part, near London The king about Mid-lent went to " Canterbury to treat with the Count of Flanders, at Dover, on certain '* matters (so people said) respecting the kingdom." This same council (says Florence of "Worcester) was celebrated on the Feast of St. Michael, in the year 1102, Indiction x., & 3 of Pope Paschal. Now Mid-lent in the year 1103 fell on the 8th of March, and this con- vention was made on the 10th of March, i.e. on the second day after Mid- lent. And the William who, at the beginning of this diploma on the 10th of March, is called " William Giffard, the chancellor," went the very next month, that is, April 27, to Rome under the name of " William elect of -Winchester " in the train of Abp. Anselm, to oppose King Henry on the subject of investitures. This convention is nearly of the same tenour as the previous one, having been amended only in some few points. In the first we read " salva fidelitate Lodovici regis ;" in the second " salva fidelitate Philippi regis." The fealties and the name of the King, which the Papal thunderbolt had shattered in the year 1100, were now in the year 1 103 restored to Philip, peace having been made with the Pope. Baronius and his epitomisers — Spondanus, Zovius, &c. — ^make out that Philip was liberated from the bonds of his anathema in the year 1104 ; but this charter of convention, more favourable to Philip King of the French, indicates that he was absolved at least a year sooner. But it is not necessary to dwell any longer on these matters. I had prepared many other prefatory remarks and some matters to be added in appendices (which, though not "public acts," yet conduce materially to our knowledge of the genius and customs of the times), which must be deferred to some other opportunity. In the meantime you may compare the documents here with coeval historians, or (which comes to the same thing) you may examine Matthew Paris, and see what documents in this collection add to, illustrate, or correct that author. For example, you may see what writers upon Sicilian and Italian affairs, or, indeed, other historians, say concerning the transactions in Sicily between 1250 and 1265, and you will find what very little information you can gather from them which they have rot borrowed from our Matthew Paris. You may read here' about the grants made to Bertold Marquis of Hoemburg or Hohemburg, probably the same person who, in the bull of Alexander IV., recited by Matthew Paris, is called " Bertold Marchio de Cambrigia." 1 Eadmer Hist. Nov., lib. iii. i>. 67-67. I ' Matt. Paris, under 1256, p. 933 or 628. ed. 1623. I Ed. Franf. cxxxviii PREFACE. Here, too, you may read of a Marquis of Herfebrok (as the name is spelt in our instruments'), of whom King Henry says to the cardinals : — " A terrible rumour has spread abroad of the hurt and losses incurred by " the Eoman church from the treason of the Marquises of Herebrok, falsely " calling themselves the faithful and devoted sons of the Church, in con- " sequence of which the Sicilian business is damnably marred." Would you know the nature of this treason ? Our Paris thus relates the affair : — " About the same time Pope Alexander, by following the footsteps of " Iimocent, his predecessor, in the Sicilian and Apulian business, appointed " Cardinal Octavian, with an army of 60,000 men, to destroy the city of " Nocera, with all its inhabitants, and Manfred, who lay concealed there. " The Emperor Frederick had mustered in the city more than 60,000 " Saracens, and to these infidels, exposed as they were to all the hazards of " war, had given permission to take up their abode there, and the city then " opened its bosom of refuge to Manfred and the other partisans of the " emperor. " When Octavian had arrayed his troops for battle, with the aid and " counsel of Marchio, a skilful and puissant warrior (on whose advice and " help the Papal army fuUy relied), he felt sure of success, and that the " army of the Pope was invincible ; but when he had advanced to within a " few miles of the city a panic seized both the invaders and the invaded, " insomuch that the former durst by no means advance farther to attack the " city, and the citizens were equally afraid to make a sortie against the " army ; so both parties remained inactive for several days, and the time " was lost in useless delay. " The Papal army was, however, very numerous and formidable, receivine " large daily stipends from the coffers of the King of England, and being " under expectation of more from the Papal promises ; for Pope Innocent, " lately deceased, had promised them. It was with him that the present " war originated, but the continuation thereof was by the cardinals. " When both sides had continued in this inert state for some considerable " time, Marchio, the traitor, who had in the army a large number of par- " tisans, came to Octavian and said, ' My lord, why stand we here so long " in idleness ? We are consuming large sums of money ; let a third of the " army return home. As for Manfred and his men, they dare not issue " from the town in which they are shut up and beleaguered ; a very small " number of men will suffice to terrify and repress them.' " The citizens, still declining to come forth, Marchio again reduced the " Papal army, so that scarcely ten or twelve thousand remained with them. " Having accomplished this part of his project, the traitor, one night, " rode post-haste on one of his swiftest horses to the city of Nocera, and " said to Manfred, ' O ! my dearest friend, you have been induced to believe « that I have injured you, and am prepared to do so again. I wonder that " you listen to or put faith in such reports. You know how faithfully " I served your father, the Emperor Frederick, in his wavering fortunes ; " and how could I persecute the son of so beloved a lord and so revered a " father ? Now may you make trial of my devotion and fidelity towards " you. The Papal army has, by my advice, been so much reduced that " scarcely 10,000 men, of whom the greater part are my partisans, remain " with Octavian. Away, then, with delay ! Let all your vassals in the PREFACE. CXXXIX " city arm and follow where I will lead, and you shall take Octavian and " all his men captive/ * " So Manfred sallied forth, and all the citizens with him, and all his " vassals and retainers, armed to the very teeth, and rushed like a whirl- " wind upon the Papal army ; but when, as they thought, they had entrapped " them all like birds in a net, Octavian, warned by some friend, made his " escape. The rest, however, except indeed the retainers of Marchio, were " either slain, routed, or made prisoners." ^ Thus was the Italian cardinal circumvented, deceived, and cajoled by a German. A charter, granted by Frederick II. to the Dukes of Styria, is cited by Wolfgang Lazius (A.D. 1248), to which the witnesses are Henry King of Sicily (that is, the son of Isabel of England), Manfred the marquis, and Berthold, a count from Hohemberg, and many others of the family of Hohemberg. But in Sicilian or Italian authors I do not recollect to have found a word about these marquises. They say, indeed, that Octavian was re- called because he had mismanaged the expedition ; but they never even touch upon the particulars of the failure. Even Sigonius, who occasion- ally is very glad to borrow from Matthew Paris, and who, on his authority, has made famous a certain Duke Stollius,^ has nevertheless chosen to compress very briefly this very important narrative. But what I think worse is that neither Sigonius, nor any of the host of historians, mention one word about the nuptials of the emperor with Isabel, or of Isabel's son, whom Matthew thus eulogises : " Henry the " hope and glory of the English, the deUght of men, a youth of marvellous " beauty " {Matt. Par., 1254). And that Matthew Paris may not stand alone, I quote the words of three others who bear testimony to our Henry : — " He left the kingdom of Sicily to Henry, who was a child, but of " supreme attraction and beauty " ( Tarehagnota). " He was a most excellent and prepossessing young man, and of greater " promise than any other of the children of Frederick " (CoUenutio). "This was the handsomest and most talented of all the children of " Frederick" {Summonte). These testimonies, reader, I produce because you may feel surprised that the kingdom of Sicily, the patrimony of this Henry, was in his life- time offered by the Supreme Pontiff to Richard Earl of Cornwall, or Henry King of England. Earl Richard refused it " because it would seem dis- " honourable in him to supplant his own nephew." And King Henry did not accept it because, in the words of Pope Innocent, " there was still " sm'viving in the same kingdom your only nephew ; and lest you might " seem to thirst for your own blood, and covet the spoils of your own " nearest relatives, you have hitherto deferred to accept this great honour > Matt. Paris under 1255, p. 906. ' Matt. Paris had read in one of Prede- rick's letters these -spords : victoriosum Gale- arum stollium, and being unacquainted with the Italian language, thought stollium was the captain or leader of the galleys. His words are, " In prima fronte, quibus pri- " micerius prseerat etoUius, pyratarum " peritissimus." 'Whereas "Stollius" is simply a Latin form of the Italian word stuoh, meaning a, fleet of ships. ' Matt. Paris under 1252. Cxl PEEFACE. " and advantage." These were the words of Pope Innocent IV. to Henry III., King of England, in the bull notifying the death of this often-mentioned Henry, and continuing, and he being dead, the Pope goes on immediately to propose a successor for the kingdom of Sicily (p. 302). In the month of May (according to Matthew Paris) this Henry died ; the bull is dated " The Ides of May ;" from which and numberless other documents the reader may see how just and strictly true is the judgment of Cardinal Baronius on the historical credit of our Matthew Paris : " You " might term it a golden commentary, as whatever can be found in public " muniments is there admirably woven and joined together in just so " many words."' But before we finally leave the kingdom of Sicily you must be reminded, reader, that this renunciation of the kingdom of Sicily is not to be ascribed to King Henry, nor yet to his son Edmund, but to Simon de Mont- fort, who had usurped the name and seal of the King, at that time his prisoner. Simon de Montfort did it to gratify the Count of Anjou, and please the Pope ; but we have been careful to distinguish, both in the text of the Foedera and also in the chronological tables, all the acts of Simon, because by not observing this precaution the greatest confusion and disputes amongst scholars have arisen. A.D. 1265, 29 Hen. III. In reference to what is called " The summons to parliament," what disputes have arisen, and even yet to this day continue among the most learned men, under a dreamy impression that some new sort of parliament was devised by King Henry to curb his turbulent barons, and suppress their daily increasing and encroaching power ; whereas, you see only the abbots with certain accomplices and partisans who were con- voked by Simon de Montfort for his own aggrandisement and the deposi'? tion of the king. Through how many volumes is not this mooted by William Prynne; and is it not still a vexed question ? But here I hope to have given sufficient to prevent the republic of letters from being hereafter torn to pieces on this subject. If some matters are here inserted which appear of minor importance and unworthy of print, before you rashly reject them remember the cock of Esop. Take, for example, the safeconduct of Henry Duke of Limburg. I consider that worthy of mention, because he was the last of the Dukes of Limburg, and although Limburg at present be of no great moment, yet Pontus Heuter informs us that " before the names of Brabant, " Holland, Zeeland, Flanders, and Namur were known Limburg was " illustrious and noted." Elsewhere we read that Limburg was impreg- nable to Charlemagne. Perhaps, again, the oft-named Louis Count of Loss, liegeman of John King of England, may not impress you more ; but stay awhile, reader; you must have heard, if you have heard of anything, of Holger the Dane' the paladin so famous in song, who they say was the first invested by Charlemagne with the county of Loss. Well, this Louis Count of Loss was his successor by hereditary right. This we learn from the testimony of Louis Guicciardiiji, Pontanus, Desselius, Baitholinus, Scriverius and a host of other historians, topographers, and genealogists. Annal. under 996. PREFACE. cxli You may consider as trifles those documents which we have brought together respecting the mail-iage of Isabel and Margaret, sisters of Alexander King of the Scots (p. 178) ; but read what Buchanan says in his Rerum Scoticarum, libra vii. : '' Before the same Pandulph, the King " [Henry III.] solemnly swore that he would provide for the two sisters " of Alexander in dignity according to their rank, as Henry's father had " previously promised. He purveyed only for one, and sent the other home " unmarried." Buchanan casts the stigma of perjury on two Kings of England, but here they are exonerated and cleared of every stain. So again, by similar small documents, it is demonstrated that Robert III. King of Scotland was not the son of a concubine, but was bom in lawful wedlock ; but you must wait for this in our second volume. It is not my intention to point out what valuable information genealo- gists may gather from this book. Albert Duke of Brunswick, who merited for his deeds the name of " Great," the great-grandson of Henry II. of England, married Alexia (some say Alexina), daughter of Aldrovandin Marquis d'Este. So say Bertius, Ritterhusius, Reusner, Buzelinus, Baptista Pigna, Albizius, and Morerus ; but Meibomius and Winckelman (as I learn from Imhoff ) assert that the wife of Albert the Great was Adelheid, daughter of Otho Marquis of Monferrat. You stand, reader, in this cross road, undeter- mined whether to take your direction from the more or fewer authorities. Our own monarch King Henry shall serve you for a Mercury, from whom you may, with the few, learn the real truth. The words of King Henry are : " The illustrious man Albert Duke of " Brunswick, our beloved kinsman, married by our advice Alaisia de Mont- " ferrat, niece of our consort Queen Aleanor " (p. 470). From this alliance you see the most serene princes of Brunswick, Luneburg, and Hanover, who are now living, derive their origin. Here, too, you have the great Italian names of Baglioni, Visconte, Ubaldino, Valori, Brancaleone, which the stemmatologists may see, and prepare to trace out. Here, too, may you see deacons who have become cardinals,- and chap- lains who have risen to the papacy, fulminating their decrees from the Pontifical pinnacle. From what a little spark bursts forth suddenly a mighty blaze ! Here you may often note some Hercules' mewling in his cradle ; some root or first germ of most important events. How often in this work are repeated the names of Balliol, Bruce, Stuart and Tudor, destined to the sceptre, and to be immortalized in the Book of Kings ? Nor can I be silent concerning the Lords of Lebreton, always the most faithful of the vassals of the Kings of England, from whose' blood we have seen that the Kings of Navarre and subsequently of France were elevated. The observant reader may see, wherever he searches, many germs budding forth ; but very many more of the same sort, which ought to he brought under notice, we must defer to some other time. cxlii PEEFACE.

The written acts of the Sovereigns of Europe -generally bear the date of the Segnal year of the potentate to which they severally belong; but as such dates would have been very inconvenient for reference, and no useful purpose would have been effected by retaining them in the Syllabus, they have aU been reduced to the Dominical Era, as being the more useful and com- mon computation. To assist the Historical student, for whose especial benefit the Syllabus has been compiled, the following table is offered to show at once the correspondence between the Regnal year of each King of England and the Dominical year, whether it be historicaj or legal, civil or ecclesiastical. It has not been deemed necessary to construct tables of the Eegnal years of Foreign Sovereigns, as not more than one-sixth of the documents in the Foedera originated out of tfeis country, and such tables would have required five times the space now filled. A Table of Contemporary Sovereigns wiU, however, be useful, and is given immediately after the Regnal years of the Kings of England. Each date has been reckoned according to the historical or common era commencing on the 1st of January, and not according to the CivU, Ecclesiastical, and Legal Era commencing on the 25th of March. By this latter computation all dates between the 1st of January and 25th of March are one year earlier than the historical or common year ; for instance, the period between the 1st of January and the 24th of March 1371 in the Legal year is in the year 1372 of the historical era. Again, King Edward the Third came to the throne on the 25th of January 1326 of the Legal, Civil, and Ecclesiastical Era, while according to the historical or common era it was the 25th of January 1327. Queen Elizabeth died on the 24th of March 1602 of the Legal, CivU, and Ecclesiastical year, but according to the historical or common era on the 24th of March 1603. CHUONOLOGICAL TABLE. WILLIAM I.
