Author of " The Antiquities of the Anglo.ttatton Church.*

This Work rontsiiis the History of the Southern Uiei-
riuo this Islam!. Gout its best Invasion by the Hominy to
the Accession of Illenry VIII. To reinter it worthy the
patronize of the Public, the Author his soared no pints in
ronsulting the most "'orient Ilistorlini. and rumouring

their Narratives with such authentic Documen,s as are
kimono to (I'm. Ile has not cunt-ism! himself to a barren
recital of facia. but has endeavoured to trace the progress of
the Nation from barbarism to reflriement, aus to mark its

gradual improvement in the arts of Ixicislatiou and Goya's-
'nerd. With this view he ham considered it a deity to th !l-
ocate with aeryiracy the matinees, laws, and polity of our
Atiglo-Saxon asicestors • to notice the foreign customs en-
grafted upon them by the Norman conquerors; to develope
the causes which rendered the Sovereign &pendant on the
homily of his vassals, and led to the iutroduction of the
Representatives of the People into the great Council of the
Nation; anal to describe the must valuable improvements,
which in the course of each reigu were made in the laws, the
administration of justice, and the internal government of
the kingdom.
It may perhaps be thought a recommendation to this
Kuck, that it was, in the first instance, composed will t
any reference to Slimier-1i Historians. The Author reli-
giously confined his researches to the Orizinal, and wh
it was possible to Contemporary Writers. This resolution
reurlereil his task niore laborious; hut it rendered it also
more satisfactory. It preserved him from imb‘binz the pre-
judices, or copying the mistakes of others ; et left him to
the unbiassed exercise of his own jodemem ; sad it has en.
ablest him to place in a new, and lie trusts a more Wilt-teat-
int, light, some of the must important occurrences iu our
History.
