Polydore Vergil's English History Volume 1

Sir Henry Ellis

Polydore Vergil's English History Volume 1
A facsimile reprint of the Camden Society edition of 1844, this volume extends from the earliest traditions of our history to the dose of the Anglo-Saxon period. The spelling and language of this edition are not in the English of our days, but the preface describes it as "preserving a beautiful translation, made at a period when our language was beginning to assume the character of modern elegance"; it is sufficiently easy to read once one becomes accustomed to its style
