Excerpt from Record Series for the Year 1898, Vol. 1: The Chartulary of St. John of Pontefract, From the Original Document in the Possession of Godfrey Wentworth, Esq., Of Woolley Park By far the most unwearied, by far the most intelligent of all his compeers in this vein of investigation, he is sometimes said to have left no complete work behind him. But it is now evident that those who make this assertion make it in entire ignorance that to Roger Dodsworth himself the world is indebted for that great monument of learning, the credit for which has been almost thoroughly diverted from him, the Monasticon Anglicanum. Even Mr. Joseph Hunter, the foremost student of cartography of his age, and the best able to appreciate the merit of his great predecessor, at one time fell into that error, but when his investigations enabled, - and in a man of his candid mind that is only another way of saying compelled him to correct himself, - he made noble reparation. Unfortunately, however, his attempted rehabilitation of the truth has never fully overtaken and obliterated his original mistake, which is occasionally quoted even now, nearly two generations afterwards, as a semi-reproach upon the name, and a derogation from the fame of the great antiquary. The reproach, however, had been cast by Mr. Hunter in complete ignorance that the credit of the Monasticon, the merit of its inception, and the satisfaction of its almost entire completion (as far at least as the first volume is concerned) were throughout due to the painstaking of Roger Dodsworth, who, while leaving behind him materials for subsequent volumes, did not see the whole of his first completely through the press. By what strange course of events the credit has been almost universally given to a later name, so that at one time to speak of Dugdale in connection with ecclesiastical literature was equivalent to naming the Monasticon and so that "Dugdale's Monasticon" came to be a substitute at the back of the book itself for "Monasticon Anglicanunty" is easily ascertained; in fact the claim was made almost before Roger Dodsworth was cold in his grave.
