Author Description

Excerpt from History of the Ancient Britons, From the Earliest Period to the Invasion of the Saxons, Vol. 1 Neither do the geography and topography of Britain enter more than incidentally into the plan of the present work. These are subjects which require a separate consideration; and, as our knowledge of them is remarkably little, they cannot fail to cause the student no small labour and distraction of mind. In the vo lume of Historical Documents, are given those portions of the ancient geographers, Ptolemy and others, together with the extracts from the Notitia Imperii, and Itinerarium Antonini, which concern the history of Britain.
