XXVII. Observations, tending to show, that the following Document, which was published by Selden, in his “Titles of Honour,” is Supposititious. By George Chalmers, Esq. F.R.S. and S.A. Communicated in a Letter to Henry Ellis, Esq. F.R.S. Secretary

Extract
I propose to show, that the following document, which was published by Selden, in his Titles of Honour, the second Edition, p. 846, from a MS. on parchment, in a hand of the time, is supposititious. Truth can only be established on the ruins of falsehood. This document has been introduced into Parliamentary Proceedings; it has been cited in our Peerages; it has been quoted by intelligent Antiquaries: and after it has deluded the legal, and antiquarian world, for so many years, the time is come, when its pretensions to genuineness may be examined, and its spuriousness exposed.
