DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Chronicon Adae De Usk: A. D. 1377 1421; Edited With a Translation and Notes When in the year 1876 I edited, for the Royal Society of Literature, the Chronicle of Adam of Usk, for the first time, from the unique text in the Additional MS. 10,104 in the British Museum, I was at a disadvantage. The end of the MS. was missing, and the chronicle broke off abruptly in the narrative of events of the year 1404. It would then have appeared rash to entertain a hope that the missing portion would ever be recovered. The MS. had already been in the possession of the British Museum for forty years; and who could say how many more had elapsed before that period since the mutilation of the volume? But in the world of letters, as in other departments of human affairs, the unexpected happens with a surprising persistency. In 1885, a quire of vellum leaves, carelessly folded up, was found among a number of neglected documents in a loft at Belvoir Castle, at the time when the Duke of Rutland's collection of papers was being examined and calendared for the Historical Manuscripts Commission, and this eventually proved to be the missing portion of the Additional Ms. and to contain the end of Adam of Usk's chronicle.
