The Text of this Charter, which is a Charter of Inspeximus, reciting and confirming Magna Carta 9 Hen. III. is printed from a Charter, with the Great Seal remaining annexed, preserved in the Archives of the City of London, at the Town Clerk’s Office of the Guildhall of that City. On the Fold of the Charter, through which the Label for the Seal passes, is written ℞ de Scard̵ examinavit. London̄. and in a Schedule annexed to the Charter is a Writ to the Sheriffs of London, for the Proclamation and Observation thereof; a Copy of which is printed at the End of the Charter. On the Back of the Charter is the following Indorsement, written in the Time of Edward II. Magna Carta ℞ H. de lib̴tatibꝫ Angl̵, confirmata ꝑ dñm ℞ E. pr̃is Reg̃ nunc.
An Engraved Specimen is subjoined.
The Various Readings are from Magna Carta 9 Hen. III. as printed in Pages 22—25 of this Series of Charters: They shew in what Instances all the Copies of that Charter there noticed differ from the Recital in this Charter of Inspeximus.
A Charter of Inspeximus of the Carta de Foresta was also granted in this 25th Year of Edward I. It is not known that any Autograph of this Charter has been preserved.
The Entries of both these Charters of Inspeximus upon The Statute Roll 25 Edward I. are printed in this Volume among The Statutes of that Year. | ||||

The Text of this Charter, which is a Charter of Inspeximus, reciting and confirming Magna Carta, 9 Hen. III. is printed from an Entry on the Charter Roll of 28 Edw. I. in the Tower of London, No. 26, on that Roll. The Roll is entitled Carte de anno regni Regis Edwardi, filii Regis Henrici, vicesimo octavo.
Like Charters of Inspeximus of this Date, under the Great Seal, are still preserved in the Archives of the City of London, of Durham Cathedral, Westminster Collegiate Church, and Oriel College, Oxford. All these agree very exactly with the Text as now printed from the Charter Roll, except that the Charters begin with the Name and Title of the King at length, as follows: Edwardus dei gr̃a Rex Angl̵, dñs Hibn̄, & dux Aquit̃, Archiep̃is, Ep̃is, Abbatibus, Prioribus, Comitibus, Baronibus, Justic̃, Vicecomitibus, Prepositis, Ministris, & om̄ibus Bal̴l̴is & fidelibus suis Sal̵tm. Some Variations also occur in the several Charters in the spelling of the Names of the Witnesses.
The Various Readings noted at the Bottom of this Charter are from the Charter of Inspeximus 25 Edw. I. as printed in Pages 33—36 of this Series of The Charters; they shew in what Particulars that Charter of Inspeximus differs from this of 28 Edw. I. | ||||

The Various Readings noted at the Bottom of this Charter are from Carta de Foresta, 9 Hen. III. as printed in Pages 26, 27, of this Series of Charters: They shew in what Instances that Charter differs from the Recital in this Charter of Inspeximus.
