Excerpt from Of Ninian and S. Kentigern: Compiled in the Twelfth Century Again, in the Lives there is the same reference to previous Celtic documents, and it cannot be denied that, while their chief importance consists in the faith ful record which they exhibit of the tone of thought of the twelfth century, there is also much ancient history preserved in them - preserved perhaps not in a very critical way, but still such as we could ill afford to lose. Of the obscure history of the kingdom of Cambria or Strathclyde they supply the most copious notices. It has been the attempt of the Editor to illustrate this as far as he was able, and to gather together whatever could bear upon the subject. This he has embodied both in the Introduction and in the Notes, and it only remains for him to express his acknow ledgment for the generous aid which he has received from various literary friends.
