Note 50 — Chapter II
George Godfrey Berry translation
On this point note the opinions of T. von Sickel and J. Havet, quoted in the Bibliothèque l'École des chartes, 1896, p. 87. In 1854 the Austrian Institute "für österreichische Geschichtsforschung" was organised on the model of the French École des chartes. Another institution of the same type has lately been created in the "Istituto di studi superiori" at Florence. "We are accustomed," we read in England, "to hear the complaint that there is not in this country any institution resembling the École des chartes" (Quarterly Review, July 1896, p. 122).
