Note 1094 — APPENDIX. DOCUMENTS RELATIVE TO, OR ILLUSTRATIVE OF JOHN’S MAGNA CARTA.

The text is founded on that of the Statutes of the Realm, I. 1; but has been also collated with the admirable text prepared by M. Bémont, Chartes, 1–6, whose emendations have been freely used not only for this Charter, but for all those which follow in this Appendix. M. Bémont gives an exhaustive account of the copies of the lost original of Henry’s charter.
