Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This work by Augustin Thierry (1795 1856) on the Norman conquest of
England was first published in French in 1825, the two-volume
translation into English following in 1847. Thierry employed a
relatively new technique in historiography, as he consulted only
original texts and documents, and insisted upon interpreting the
sources in as much detail as possible. He was adamant that the
events, ideas and political positions he chronicled should be
interpreted in their own terms and not subjected to a limited
nineteenth-century perspective. Volume 1 is divided into seven
parts and traces the aboriginal populations of Britain from the
period 55 BCE, closing with the death of William the Conqueror and
an account of the last efforts of the English to overthrow the
Norman yoke in 1137. The author also shares some of his reflections
on the challenges of writing history with his readers.
