, edited by James Gairdner, Roll Series, 1861, there will be found in the two volumes some 250 letters and documents showing the datings used at that period. About one hundred of these will be found to have been dated by the year expressed in various ways, i. E. , in Roman numerals, 23 ; in Arabic numerals, 8 ; in Latin, French, Spanish or Italian words, not figures, 42 ; in words and Roman numerals combined, 17 ; Anno Domini, with Roman numerals, 2 ; Anno Domini with words, not figures, 11 ; A...nno Domini with Arabic 69 numerals, 1 ; year of our Lord God, with Roman numerals, 2; the same, with words and figures, 1. The other datings consist only of the date of the day and month, with or without place, often the year of the reign of the King, and many without any date at all. It will be noted that the term A. D. Does not yet appear during these reigns, that the term Anno Domini is seldom used, and that Roman numerals are used throughout where figures are expressed, except in the nine cases where the year is notified by Arabic numerals, and all of these appear to be used in foreign letters or documents.
