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 difficult for ordinary readers, not to mention the many discoveries which have been made since he wrote it, now 150 years ago.
The "Monumenta Historica Britannica," published by the Record Commission in 1848, contains most valuable matter, but is not confined to Roman history, nor does it contain a perfect summary of all that is known, as much has been found both in the way of inscriptions and coins since its first appearance.
