Note 321 — PART V.
Reading edition
It is unnecessary to do more than mention A Historical Treatise on Magna Charta by Mr. Boyd C. Barrington, of the Philadelphia Bar (1899), of which the author says (p. ii.): “No claim is made for originality, but solely for research, which has been exhaustive in every line I can pursue.” It is dismissed by his distinguished fellow-countryman, Dr. Gross (Sources and Literature of English History, p. 348), as “of little value.”
