A store of documents will be found in the Charter Rolls published by the Record Commission, in Brady's work on "English Boroughs," and in the "Ordinances of English Gilds," published with a remarkable preface from the pen of Dr.Brentano by the Early English Text Society.

For our religious and intellectual history materials now become abundant.

Grosseteste's Letters throw light on the state of the Church and its relations with Rome; those of Adam Marsh give us interesting details of Earl Simon's relation to the religious movement of his day; and Eceleston's tract on the arrival of the Friars is embodied in the "Monumenta Franciscana." For the Universities we have the collection of materials edited by Mr.Anstey under the name of "Munimenta Academica." With the close of Henry's reign our directly historic materials become scantier and scantier.

The monastic annals we have before mentioned are supplemented by the jejune entries of Trivet and Murimuth, by the "Annales Anglic et Scotias," by Rishanger's Chronicle, his "Gesta Edwardi Primi," and three fragments of his annals (all published in the Rolls Series).

The portion of the so-called "Walsingham's History" which relates to this period is now attributed by Mr.Riley to Rishanger's hand.
