(2)pp. advertisement, [232]pp. index to The History of the Exchequer which Madox had regretted not providing in his work which is presented here. Madox pioneered the accurate diplomatic editing of medieval sources. For recognition of his scholarship, he was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1708.
