'Madox was the author of four works of historical scholarship, the first two of which stand among the major achievements of English antiquarianism up to that time.

(2)pp. advertisement, [232]pp. index to The History of the Exchequer which Madox had regretted not providing in his work which is presented here. Madox pioneered the accurate diplomatic editing of medieval sources. For recognition of his scholarship, he was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1708.
