Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Description of Britain, Translated From Richard of Cirencester: With the Original Treatise De Situ Britanniæ, and a Commentary on the Itinerary, Illustrated With Maps
Richard or cirencester has rendered Such essential service to the 'cultivators of our national antiquities, and his merits have been so Warmly acknowleged, that it may perhaps appear almost s?perfiuous to detain the reader with a few observations in de fence of his work. But unfortunately even the science of antiquities is not without its sects and parties; and if some have extolled 'richard' more than he deserves, others, in ferior indeed in authority, have as strenu ously laboured to degrade him below his true standard.
