This unique and invaluablerecord, which has never yet been adequately analysed, is aregister of landowners and tenants, describes the changeswhich had been effected by the Conquest, and exhibits theeconomical condition of the English under the government ofWilliam. But the social history of England is almost a blankfor nearly two centuries afterwards, except for the little whichmay be gathered from the chroniclers. The new light whichis thrown on the economic and social condition of the countryat the time when continuous archives inform us of the facts,reveals a very different state of things from that which isexhibited in Domesday.
