ROGER OF WENDOVER
Flowers of history. The history of England from the descent of the saxons to A.D. 1235. vol.1
page 5



The original work of Eoger de Wendover has been latelyedited by the Rev. II. 0. Coxe, of the Bodleian library, for the English Historical Society, and from the text of that edition the present translation has been made. I have done my best to give the English reader, for the first time, a faithful idea of the Latin original ; and I leave it to his judgment to determine both the value of the Chronicle itself, and with what success I have discharged my task of translating it. The notes at the foot of the pages are mostly abridged iVom Mr: Coxe's edition of the original text. J. A. GILES. Bamplon, Dec. 1, 1848.
