Excerpt from The Domesday Inquest
Above all, I have tried to make Domesday Book its own interpreter, and to exhaust its evidence and that of its subsidiary documents, before having recourse to evidence of other periods. This book is therefore a study of existing institutions, rather than an inquiry into their history.
