This Work contains the History of the Southern Divi-
pion of this lislaiiil, (toot its first In cAtiMl by the Romans to
the Accession of Henry VIII. To render it worthy the
patronage of the Public, the Anther has spared no pains in

grafted upon Item by the Norman COMIllf noes ; to develop

It may ',Mop.; he thought a recommendation to this
Work, thst it was, in the first instance, composed without
any lefeiestee to Modern Historian. The Author reli-
giously confined his res. arches to the Original, mid wh
it was possible to Contemporary IVritcrs. This resolution
rendered his task more labotions; lint it rendered it also
e satisfactory. It preserved him from imbibing the pre-
judices, or copying the mistakes of others; ti kit him to
the unbiassed exercio• of his own judgment; and it has en.
shied him to place in a new, and be trusts a more intriest-
Mg light, some of the most important occurrences in our
History.

Richard Colt Home, Bart.

which hr was ettgarctl in collecting materials at the period
of his premature decease. But what Mr. Eustace did not
live to accomplish, Sir Richard Colt Hoare has executed, and
in such a manner as, it is hoped, will be at once acceptable
to the public, and gratifying to the numerous friends of Mr.
Eostace. as • tribute of respect to his genius, and of affec-
tion to his memory.
