Excerpt from Palaeography: And the Practical Study of Court Hand His pamphlet is, with very little revision, a Paper read to Section IX of the International Congress of Historical Studies in April, 1913. I have not thought proper to alter it in any essential and that fact has, to some extent, conditioned its form; leading me, for instance, to confine my remarks upon Diplomatique to a paragraph and a footnote. It represents the ideas which have made me depart considerably from the usually adopted form of teaching preliminary to research upon medieval manuscript sources, during the three series of lectures and classes which I have given for the F. W. Maitland Memorial Trustees at Cambridge. But apart from this the importance of the series of documents which illustrate it made me anxious to print it.
