Excerpt from The Anglo-Saxon Sagas: An Examination of Their Value as Aids to History; A Sequel to the "History of the Conquest of Britain by the Saxons"
My dear Sir,
Strange as the theory which is advocated in the following pages may appear, it is advanced with an entire conviction of its truth. In part, - as far as it relates to the Scyldings and their settlements in Northumbria, - it has been already submitted to the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and an abstract from my papers, accompanied by illustrative notes from the pen of their able secretary, Mr. Longstaffe, has appeared in their Transactions. These notes are incorporated in the present work, together with other valuable information kindly furnished by him to me.
