Excerpt from A Key to Domesday, Showing the Method and Exactitude of Its Mensuration, and the Precise Meaning of Its More Usual Formulæ: The Subject Being Specially Exemplified by an Analysis and Digest of the Dorset Survey
When, in the days of K. Ethelred (979 the country was surveyed and sub-divided for the purposes of equal taxation, the hide was accepted as the basis of assessment. Then, too, we may be sure, the hidage of most counties, and of Dorset among the rest, was scrutinized and readjusted; then the lands were not measured indeed, still less remeasured, but were so divided and parcelled as to bring one hide into fair comparison with another. And here again the hide, virtually though not designedly, assumed still more the seeming of an areal measure.
