The Domesday survey was arranged by counties, or shires, and so is the present edition.  These are the ancient counties that survived with little change until 1974.  "The Domesday Book is a statistical survey of England in 1086 A.D.  It is a census of the population and the productive resources of the country, of their value and who held them.  It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of local historians and archaeologists of the availability... of this fundamental source, for the first time in 900 years.  The text has only been set and printed, in 1783, in an edition of 1,250 copies... The present edition corrects the few errors detected in the 18th- century setting of the Latin text and provides a parallel, uniform, modern English translation; with a map, indices and explanation of the technical terms for each county.  This edition will be of service to those interested in local history and topography, and to scholars who wish either to re-examine the evidence on which modern discussion rests, or to explore the very many questions of social and administrative structure which have received less attention." - Inside front cover.
