Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An English Garner, Vol. 3: Ingatherings From Our History and Literature
The reader must be prepared often to find most crude and imperfect theories or beliefs, which later experience has exploded, mixed up with most important facts or allusions as to the times, manners, or customs of the period then under illustration leaving to us the obligation to reject the one, and to receive the other.
Many of the following books and tracts are the original materials out of which modern historians have culled the most graphic touches of their most brilliant pages. In fact, the Series is, in regard to much of its prose, a Study on a large scale of detached areas of English history; and stands in the same relation to the general national Story, as a selected Collection of Parish Maps would do to the Ordnance Survey of English land.
