Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stories From the State Papers This complaint received the attention it deserved, and orders were issued for the framing and publication of ´proper calendars.´ Naturally, from their experience and past training, the officials of the Record Office were at once pointed out as the most fitting persons to perform this task; but as the Department possessed a limited staff, it became necessary, unless its current work was to be suspended, to employ certain qualified outsiders to assist the Record Office in the object it had in view. Happily the introduction of transcribers has so far relieved the officials from the mechanical work of their department, as now to dispense with this foreign help. The work of calendaring has proceeded with as much rapidity as the nature of the subject will permit. Indeed, the guardians of our archives may direct, with no little pride, the attention of the public to their labours during the past quarter of a century. The State Papers and correspondence of Henry VIII. have been calendared from 1509 to 1532. The Foreign State Papers of Edward VI., Mary, and of Elizabeth, down to the year 1577, have reached the light. The Domestic State Papers from 1547 to 1640 have been given to the world in seven-and-twenty volumes. The Papers of the Commonwealth are now before the historical inquirer in six volumes; whilst the papers of Charles II. have been indexed to the year 1667. The documents connected with the affairs of the Treasury from 1557 to 1714 have been published in four volumes; and the papers of the Home Office of the reign of George III. are now being edited in a similar fashion. The Irish State Papers and the State Papers relating to Scotland have been carefully catalogued, and comprise several volumes. The calendars of the Colonial Papers relating to America and the West Indies, and to the East Indies and China, are in progress, and now consist of four volumes.
