preface

Anglo-Saxon scholar, Mr. Richard Price, and is, as far as it extends, in every respect greatly superior to any of the preceding ones. In the present work a few of Mr. Price's notes are retained, and are distinguished by the initials R.P.

I have now to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Reinhold Pauli, Professor of History in the University of Tubingen, the able continuator (in German) of Dr. Lappenberg's History of England, and author of the Life of King Ælfred, for his kindness, when leaving England, in spontaneously presenting me with his transcripts of the Cottonian Manuscripts of the Saxon Chronicle, Tiberius B. i., Tiberius B. iv., and Domitian A. viii., and his collation of Tiberius A. vi. with Tiberius B. i. ; a favour for which I acknowledge myself deeply indebted.

B. Thorpe.
