Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from England Before the Norman Conquest: Being a History of the Celtic, Roman and Anglo-Saxon Periods Down to the Year A. D. 1066
HE main purpose of this short preface is to express my deep Obligation to many friends who have given me their assistance in revising and correcting Various parts of this volume. Three must be specially named. Mr. T. Rice Holmes, the author of Caesar's Conquest of Gaul, and of Ancient Britain and Caesar's Invasions, was good enough to look through the first four chapters, forming the prehistoric and early Celtic section, to make most valuable criticisms thereon, and to give me many fruitful suggestions. This part of my volume, indeed, may be said to be founded in a large measure on his researches, for his two books above mentioned were invaluable to me.
