We learn from them more of the manners and private life of our illustrious ancestors, some new facts in their public history, and several new descents in their pedigrees. The prospect of death sets their lives in a new point of light." (From the Preface.) These wills of royals from William the Conqueror through Henry the Seventh are in their original language (some in law French), often preceded by a brief introduction, annotations, and postscripts in English. With a Glossary and "Additional Observations and Corrections." Sweet & Maxwell, A Legal Bibliography of the British Commonwealth of Nations I:495 (48).
