AIIIISTOItY OF ENGL NO, from the
Grit [evasion by the Romans to the Accession of
Henry VIII.
By the REV. JOHN LINGARD,
Author of " The Antiquities of the Asglu-Saxon Church."
This Work will metals the History of the Southern Divi-
sion of this Island, (ruin its first Invasion by the Romans to
the Accession of Hairy VIII. To render it worthy the
Patronage of the Public, the Author has spared no pains in
consulting the most ancient Historians, and comparing their
Narratives with such authentic Documents as are known to
exist. He has nut confined himself to a Darren recital of
facts, but has endeavoured to trace the progress of the
Nation from barbarism to refinement, and to mark its gra-
dual in the arts of Legislation and Govern-
ment. With this view be has considered it • duty to deli-
neate with accuracy the manners, laws, and polity of our
Anglo.Sexon ancestors; to iodise the foreign customs en-
grafted upon them by the Norman conquerors; to develupe
the causes which rendered the Sovereign dependant on the
bounty of his vassals, sad led to the iutroductios of the
Representatives of the People into the great Council of the
Nation ; and to describe the most valuable improvements,
which in the course of each reign were ensile is the laws, the
administration of justice, sold the internal goweransent of
the kingdom.
It may perhaps be thought a recommendation in Ibis
Work, that it was, is the first instauce, composed without
any reference to Modern Historians. The Author reli-
giously ensued its researches to the Original, and *a believer
it was possible le Coutemporary Writers. This resolution
rendered his task more labor' ; but it rendered it iilso
more satisfactory. It preserved him from imbibing the pre-
judices, or copying the mistakes of others : it left him to
the unbiassed exercise of his own judgment; and is has eel.
Meted him to place in • sew, sod he trusts a more interest-
ing light, some date most important occurrences in our
History.
Should the Work be honoured with the approbation of
the public, it will he costinscd from the Accession of
Henry VIII. to the Revolution iu 1688.
