Excerpt from History of England, From the Earliest to the Present Time, Vol. 1 of 5: In Five Volumes This book was planned, much of it was written, and some of it was printed, many years ago. But since I left England, in 1860, I have had duties to perform which leave little leisure for literary occupations. And several parts of what I had composed while at home have been re-written by me here, in consequence of the new light that has been thrown on our history by numerous publications which have appeared during the last eight years. But the second volume is now almost ready for the press, and I trust that the remaining three will follow at no long intervals. I mention emphatically that this History of England from the Earliest Times to the Present is to be completed in Five Volumes of moderate size. I wish to warn my readers what they are not entitled to expect here. I do not profess to set out every English historical event of any importance, and every biographical occurrence of any interest, that is known of every period, and of every eminent English personage.
