Review
1533 and all that
Those of us who rely for our history on Sellar and Yeatman, and have yet to find the jokes in Gibbon, will welcome Peter Lawson's book" The English Notary's Place in History".
This light hearted compilation of facts and references traces the first appearance of the English notary in Chapter 8, his rise to importance through to Chapter 11 and his graceful decline into the respectable obscurity of the present day.
At 100 pages, at once shorter and more amusing than Brooke it contains much information and would make an ideal Christmas gift. I loved it.
