The Visitation of the County Palatine of Lancaster

In this Visitation the only visible progress or improve ment is to be found in the mode of registration, the nar rative form being abandoned, and the tabular form intro duced. The statements for the most part are still vague and meagre, and the results unsatisfactory, dates and docu ments being generally avoided, or when introduced they sometimes elude the attempt to prove their authenticity or to confute their genuineness. Norroy carried out the existing system and there was no divergence from it for at least half a century; and then came a change for the better, which has continued, with improvements, to the present time.
