As this book makes clear, current use of data structures such as frames, scripts, and stereotypes in psychology, artificial intelligence, and all the other disciplines now grouped together as Cognitive Science develop ideas already explored by Husserl who believed that the analysis of mental representations was the proper subject of philosophy, psychology, and other disciplines that deal with the mind. This new anthology will serve as an ideal...

Excerpt from The Red Book of the Exchequer, Vol. 3Establishment, which had endured for nearly seven centuries, shorn of the excrescences with which it had been encumbered during the Stuart period. Whether this Establishment is as old as the Conquest itself, or whether it took its sh ape in even earlier times, is a question which can scarcely be decided, for want of sufficient evidence. Considerable light is, however, thrown on the subject by t...

Excerpt from Studies in English Official Historical DocumentsIn view of the frequent discussion of the subject in the past and the still closer attention which it has received in our own times, the author of this collection of desultory studies is fully conscious of their many and serious defects. The question to him was not, however, one of personal interest, but whether, in the absence of any other comprehensive treatise, such a work could b...

Excerpt from Court Life Under the Plantagenets This little work commemorates many happy leisure hours spent amongst the Exchequer Records and in the Hertfordshire fields where was the favourite residence, seven hundred years ago, as it is to-day, of an English minister sprung from a line of great statesmen. But although I had at first intended to follow the story of Richard Fitz Nigel in connection with his times, the want of historical mate...

Excerpt from History of the Custom-Revenue in England, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Times to the Year 1827 The causes of this apathy and neglect are not far to seek. Failing Madox, beyond the limits of whose work the subject lay, and excepting only Hale, there has been no original historian of the Customs, none, that is, who has attempted to describe their origin, place, and scope, from first to last, by recourse to original authorities. Madox, ...

Excerpt from Society in the Elizabethan Age In the following pages I have once more tendered my mite of industry towards the tardy restoration-fund of historical research, this time in the further hope of proving that original matter is not necessarily uninteresting, but that the Romance of Society, as read in the infallible records of the past, possesses attractions greater and more lasting than a many conceptions of impossible humanity. In...

Excerpt from The Antiquities and Curiosities of the Exchequer I do not know why I should have been selected, for, although I have no doubt taken a great interest in archaeology, it has rather been that of pre-historic times. Perhaps, however, it is partly because my friend, Mr. Gomme, knows that I should wish to do anything he asks me, and partly because I have been for many years a member, and was for some time chairman, of the Public Accoun...
