Excerpt from Calendar of the Patent Rolls Preserved in the Public Record Office: Prepared Under the Superintendence of the Deputy Keeper of the Records; Edward III., A. D. 1327-1330 Without attempting in this place to discuss the relative merits of these different systems, I may be allowed to express an opinion that while M. Francisque Michel's appears to be the best with regard to an early period, when entries on the Rolls are very brief, Sir Francis Palgrave's appears to be the best with regard to a later period, when the entries admit of considerable condensation in a Calendar.
