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 is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
Then it was, that the magnanimous Arthur, with all the kings and
military force of Britain, fought against the Saxons. And though

chosen their commander, and was as often conqueror.

History of the Britons (Historia Brittonum) is brilliantly
translated by J. A. Giles. Nennius felt that teachers were not
giving their students a complete history of Briton, so he attempted
to write this brief account. His account is quite thorough
beginning with. "From Adam to the flood, are two thousand and
forty-two years. From the flood of Abraham, nine hundred and
forty-two. From Abraham to Moses, six hundred. * From Moses to
Solomon, and the first building of the temple, four hundred and
forty-eight. From Solomon to the rebuilding of the temple, which
was under Darius, king of the Persians, six hundred and twelve
years are computed. From Darius to the ministry of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and to the fifteenth year of the emperor Tiberius, are five
hundred and forty-eight years. So that from Adam to the ministry of
Christ and the fifteenth year of the emperor Tiberius, are five
thousand two hundred and twenty-eight years"
