Recent bookplate of Josceline Grove to ffep verso, each volume. Three booksellers' catalogue descriptions tipped onto ffep verso, vol. I. The significance of Domesday Book was perceived at an early stage by scholars such as Selden, who printed extracts at the end of his edition of Eadmer in 1623. Domesday Book itself was held under lock and key and could only be consulted for a fee, with an additional charge of fourpence for each line transcribed. Without a complete printed edition scholar's regard for Domesday was combined with an ignorance of its general contents, until 1783 when this edition was printed at the behest of a Royal Comission. It was printed in record type, designed for the occasion by J. Nicholls and cut by J. Jackson (former apprentice of William Caslon the elder), and later destroyed in the Westminster fire of 1834. Douglas, in his work English Scholars 1660-1730, expresses the view that Farley's achievement has been 'shamefully neglected', and that 'he produced one of the most accurate and reliable transcripts in the history of English scholarship'. Title-pages to theses volumes were supplied by the Record Commission in 1816, and two subsequent volumes (comprising additions and index) were provided in 1811 and 1816. ESTC 097297; Upcott p.xiii.

The Domesday Book is the record of the great survey of England completed in 1086, executed for William I of England, otherwise known as 'William the Conqueror'. It was written in Latin, although there were some vernacular words inserted for native terms with no previous Latin equivalent, and the text was highly abbreviated. Abraham Farley, d.1791, was a lifelong civil servant, who was appointed deputy chamberlain of the Exchequer in 1736, and soon became involved with the public records at the Chapter House of Westminster Abbey. First amongst these was the Domesday Book, of which Farley became custodian, granting visiting antiquaries access to the Book and making transcripts for a fee. In later life Farley was to produce the first printed edition of Domesday Book. Following a Parliamentary order in 1767, Farley was appointed co-editor of the Domesday printing project in 1770, alongside Charles Morton of the British Museum. Sir Henry Ellis, 1777 1869, was an English librarian. He was educated at the Mercers' School and St John's College, Oxford, where he acted as an assistant at the Bodleian Library.
