Excerpt from England: From Earliest Times, to the Great Charter
The volume, indeed, is concerned with the birth of the English State. That splendid creation was not produced without much labour. Civilizations arose and fell away; conquest succeeded conquest; Briton and Roman, Saxon, Dane, and Norman followed one another in possession of the reins of power but at length, after battles without number, after countless struggles in Church and State, the English found themselves firmly planted in this island, and standing at the threshold of the Empire which in later years was to open its doors to them.
