Excerpt from Two of the Saxon Chronicles Parallel: With Supplementary Extracts From the Others N 0 general assertion can be made concerning the historical quality of this section: each clause must be estimated and valued for itself. Some parts are pure dream-work, while others have a historical and trustworthy appearance. These prevail more and more towards the close of the period, as if indicating the existence of better documents, which it is natural to suppose would have been kept with more or less care from the reception of Christianity. And therefore the date 634 has been fixed on as the close of this Section, although there is no appearance of a division, the traditional being intermingled with the earliest traces of documentary annals.
