Sir Francis Palgrave (1788–1861) was a distinguished English historian, solicitor and antiquarian, now considered to be the founder of the Public Record Office. After his death, Palgrave's son Sir Inglis Palgrave edited his Collected Historical Works, which focus mostly on the Anglo-Norman and Middle Ages. Originally published in 1922, this tenth and final volume of the Collected Historical Works contains the text of the second collection of Palgrave's reviews, focusing mostly on comparative mythology, art and the history of medieval France. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Palgrave's work or in medieval history.
