Excerpt from Essay on the Life and Institutions of Offa: King of Mercia A. D. 755-794

The following Essay, hastily prepared, and - though some time has elapsed since its composition - now hastily corrected for the press, was successful during the year 1836 in gaining an honorary premium, established by William Taylor Copeland, Esq., M. P., during the year of his Mayoralty.

The writer desires further to express his obligations to George William Johnson, Esq., of Gray's Inn, Barrister at Law, without whose kind assistance he would have been unable to consult several of the Historical works which have added materially to the information which he has collected upon this subject.
