Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Landing of Caesar to the Reign of Victoria<br><br>The division into separate reigns appears to me more distinct, for those at least not well acquainted with the course of events, than the sections adopted by Mr. Green, in his learned and valuable compendium. In the spelling of proper names I have followed the examples of Lingard and Hallam.<br><br>A short Appendix to the First Volume contains a sketch of the life of St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland, and some information concerning the first promulgation of Christianity in the British islands, which may, I hope, be interesting to my readers.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
