Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of British and Irish History: Illustrated With Maps, Engravings, and Statistical, Chronological, and Genealogical Tables
We already possess, it is true, several histories of England written by Catholics; and those of Miss Young, Mylins, and Mrs. St. George, have earned, as they deserve, the approbation and gratitude of the Catholic public. To keep pace, however, with the increase of historical research and accuracy, as well as to insure a due pre parution for the London University, something more, at least for collegiate purposes, was still a. Requisite. Sadler's abridgment of Lingard was therefore eagerly welcomed. Unfortunately its useful um was found to be impaired by the omission of the chapter on the manners and customs of the anglo-saxons, and by the partial omission of similar notices in other parts of the work.
