Excerpt from Domesday Book, or the Great Survey of England of William the Conqueror A. D. 1086: Fac-Simile of the Part Relating to Norfolk The other four Books were published in 1816 in the third and fourth volumes, by order of the Royal Commissioners who were appointed for the purpose of carrying into execution the measures recommended by the House of Commons respecting the Public Records of the Kingdom, and under the immediate direction of Sir Henry Ellis, late Principal Librarian of the British Museum, to whom we are indebted for the valuable Introductions and Indexes. To these Introductions, and to the enlarged General Introduction published separately in two octavo volumes in 1833, by the same author, I must refer those who desire to have more detailed informa tion respecting Domesday Book than it is my object in these few preliminary remarks to enter upon.
