Excerpt from Roman Britain
The history of Roman Britain has never yet been treated popularly apart from other history, nor has the information derived from earlier writers been gathered into one volume in a simple form.
Horsley's famous work, the Britannia Romana, though accurate, learned, and well arranged, is too cumbrous and diffit for ordinary readers, not to mention the many discoveries which have been made since he wrote it, now 150 years ago.
