Book Description

Excerpt from Law Tracts, Vol. 2 of 2: In Two Volumes There is no translation in the antient part of our english history more interesting and important, than the rise and progress, the gradual mutation, and final establishment of the charters of liberties, emphatically stiled The Great Charter and Charter of the Forest; and yet there is none that has been transmitted down to us with less accuracy and historical precision. There is not hitherto extant any full and correct copy of the charter granted by king John, M. Pines's engraving excepted, which, on account of the antiquity of it's character, is not fitted for general perusal: and the charters of king Henry the third have always been printed, even in our statute-books, not form the originals themselves, but from an Inspeximus of king Edward the first.
