Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Normandy and of England, Vol. 1
The original edition ended with the accession of Henry I., but Vols. III. And IV. Were not published till after the Author's death. To the present edition will be added the later years of the reign of Henry I. And the reign of Stephen, hitherto unpublished. The history of the four N orman kings of England will thus be com pleted. In 'the advertisement to the second volume of the History, Sir F. Palgrave wrote: In the third volume I purpose to resume the essays elucidating the general relations of the mediaeval period, continuing the seyies prefixed to the first. The subjects next discussed will probably be - the Episcopate; the in?uences of Chris tianity upon the Fine Arts - also upon the cultivation of profane literature; all of which are in forwardness, having been draughted many years since. These essays were privately printed in Sir F. Palgrave's lifetime and will now be prefixed to the text of the third volume as originally intended.
