Cambridgeshire to the original returns of the Domesday jurors. In the English Historical Review, 1900, xv. 293-302, he criticises Maitland's definition of the Domesday manor (No. 1889). Round's most recent discussions of Domesday are to be found in his introductions to the Domesday portions of the Victoria county histories. Cf. The Breviates of Domesday, in Athenæum, Sept. 15, 1900, pp. 346-7; James Tait, Large Hides and Small Hides, in English Historical Review, 1902, xvii. 280-82.

In addition to the works mentioned below, the Victoria history of each county should also be consulted (cf. above, P. 409).

Evelyn White, with transcript of an unpublished translation made by William Bawdwen in 1867.] East Anglian, 3rd series, vols. xi.-xii. passim. Norwich, etc., 1905-08; separately printed, 1910.

1893. *Inquisitio comitatus Cantabrigiensis; subjicitur Inquisitio Eliensis: ed. N E. S. A. Hamilton. Royal Soc. of Literature. London, 1876.

The Inquest of Cambridgeshire seems to be a copy of the original returns from which Domesday was compiled. This copy was made in the latter part of the 12th century, and it deals with the holders of lands in Cambridgeshire. Hamilton prints the texts of the Inquest and Domesday in parallel columns.

The Inquest of Ely (Hamilton, pp. 97–195) relates to the lands of Ely abbey in Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Huntingdonshire. Round believes that it is copied in part from the original returns of the Domesday jurors and in part from the second volume of the Exchequer Domesday. Hamilton's edition is better than Ellis's (No. 1884).

This survey enumerates various services and rents due to the bishop; it is called Boldon Book because the services of the village of Boldon are often referred to as a standard. There is another edition, by Ellis (No. 1884). Lapsley's text is based on a collation of the MSS. used by Ellis and Greenwell with the older Stowe MS., which they had not seen. Greenwell, in his appendix, prints extracts from the pipe rolls of Henry I., Richard I., and John, with Bishop Bek's great roll of receipts, A.D. 1309, and several charters.

The Liber Winton, which is preserved in the library of the Society of Antiquaries of London, comprises two distinct records. The first is a survey of royal lands in Winchester, with the landgavel and geld paid in the time of Edward the Confessor and Henry I.; it was made between 1103 and 1115, by order of the king, from the verdicts of eighty-six burgesses. The second is an inquest of all lands in Winchester, made in 1148 by command of the bishop of Winchester. See Round's account of the Winchester survey, in Victoria History of Hampshire (No. 839), i. 527–37.

In his Feudal England Round prints only about a fifth of the survey, which is somewhat similar to that of Leicestershire (No. 1903). He believes that it was originally made under Henry I., and was subsequently corrected here and there, to bring the entries up to date, down to the days of Henry II.' See also his essay on the Hidation of Northamptonshire, in English Historical Review, 1900, xv. 78–86; and F.
