Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy (1804 78) was Deputy Keeper of the Public
Record Office and an experienced medieval manuscript scholar,
having edited the Monumenta Historica Britannica after his mentor
Henry Petrie's death. Hardy was closely involved with the Rolls
Series of publications of medieval manuscripts in public ownership,
a government-backed project, of which this catalogue (consists of
three volumes in four parts) forms part. His stated aim was to list
'all the known sources, printed or unprinted, of English history'
in a handbook for historical researchers. Each item is located and
described, and, where Hardy has examined the original, the first
and last lines are given. Where known, the author's life is briefly
outlined. Volume 2, published in 1865, provides historical sources
for the period between the Norman Conquest and the first year of
the reign of King John. It also includes an index for the first and
second volumes.
