Excerpt from The History of Britain, That Part Especially, Now Called England: From the First Traditional Beginning, Continued to the Norman Conquest; Collected Out of the Ancientest and Best Authors Thereof And in the'present edition of this History of England, I have divided the text of it into a greater number of Paragraphs than are found in the preceding editions, and I have added in the margins of many of them short abstracts of the matters contained in them; which, I believe, will be found very convenient to the readers, even in their first perusal of them, and still more so in their subsequent occasions to refer to them; in, order to pe ruse any particular parts of them over-again, to which their attention shall be more immediately directed.
