Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Norman Conquest of England, Vol. 4: Its Causes and Its Results
The present volume has taken a longer time in its composition than any of those that have gone before it, partly because of the interruption caused by the revision of the. First two volumes for the second edition, partly because of the greater extent and difficulty of the work itself. The fifth and last volume will, like the first, consist partly of narrative and partly of dissertation. In it I trust to go thoroughly into the effects of the Norman Conquest on the later condition and history of England, and to carry on the narrative in the form of a sketch to the point which I designed from the beginning, the reign of Edward the First.
