Synopsis
Excerpt from Fitz Randolph: Traditions, a Story of a Thousand Years
In my own modest narrative, and in the diagram and outline given at the end of this prefatory chapter, I ven ture to prefer Gale's lines to Dugdale's, and even to so important and accurate an authority as Hume, who, on page 163 of the first volume of his History of England, tells us in effect that the great Alan, who joined the in jvading William with a large force of fighting men, was the son of Hoe] and grandson of Conan, Duke of Brit tany; and several encyclopedic and historical writers have fashioned their records, as to the facts here in volved, on Hume's model.
In the course of preparing his book the writer has come into the rare good fortune of owning a well-pre served copy of Roger Gale's Honoris de Richmond. In fluenced by an old tradition that Gale had, two hundred years ago, outlined the family history, he had sought the book throughout England with the same zest evinced by John Burroughs in his pursuit of the nightingale through that delightful country, and it had evaded him. After much search he was by special permission permitted to have a few pages transcribed from a copy of the book possessed by an old library. When at last a singular op portunity was ofiered for acquiring ownership of the valued volume, he gladly availed of it, and has studied diligently this universally respected authority. It is in demi-folio form, well printed - partly in colors - and con tains some beautiful engravings. No small part of its clear Latin text has reference to the facts and lines of the Fitz Randolph family.
