Extract

From the imperfect and often contradictory accounts given by Chroniclers of events which occurred in early periods of English History, our knowledge of even the most important of them is confined and unsatisfactory. Nor do the invaluable records preserved in the Fædera always reconcile discrepancies, or present a connected narrative of transactions, however much they corroborate or establish particular facts.
