In this third edition of his valuable study of the variety of civil
and ecclesiastical documents in parish archives, Mr Tate corrected
and revised the text and replaced Appendix II with information in
County and other major local record offices in England. The purpose
of the book is to illustrate and encourage research into local
history by means of surviving documents and fragments; it opens a
way of actual study for many would-be local historians. Much
thought has been given to classification, and comparison; the book
is cross referenced, indexed and illustrated. It prints many
examples of typical records of all kinds, related them where
necessary to the laws and conditions which gave rise to them, and
to the society whose relics they are. Mr Tate's knowledge of
documents and of the scattered literature dealing with them enabled
him to describe and illustrate the evolution of local government.
