The economical history of England is illustrated with
singular clearness towards the end of the eleventh century,
by that great survey of the whole kingdom, with the exception
of the four northern counties and part of Lancashire, which is
known as Domesday Book. This unique and invaluable
record, which has never yet been adequately analysed, is a
register of landowners and tenants, describes the changes
which had been effected by the Conquest, and exhibits the
economical condition of the English under the government of
William. But the social history of England is almost a blank
for nearly two centuries afterwards, except for the little which
may be gathered from the chroniclers. The new light which
is thrown on the economic and social condition of the country
at the time when continuous archives inform us of the facts,
reveals a very different state of things from that which is
exhibited in Domesday.
