Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Calendar of the Register of the Queen´s Majesty´s Council in the Dominion and Principality of Wales and the Marches of the Same; (1535) 1569-1591: From the Bodley Ms. No; 904 The Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion have pleasure in including in their Record Series, and in publishing, this "Calendar of the Register of the Council in the Marches of Wales (1569 to 1591)," by a distinguished young English Scholar, Mr. Ralph Flenley, M.A., the author of Six Town Chronicles of England. The Society is indebted to Dr. C. H. Firth, Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford, for calling the Council´s attention to the work, and for recommending that it should be published. Very soon after arrangements had been made for printing the book, the Author joined His Majesty´s Army as a Lieutenant of a Battery of the 149th Brigade Royal Field Artillery, in the 30th Division of the British Expeditionary Force now fighting the German invaders in France. While occupied with his patriotic and loyal duty as an officer of His Majesty´s Forces he had time only for a hasty revision of this work. The following letter addressed to the Editor of the Cymmrodorion Publications, which we are allowed to publish, speaks for itself, and is a fitting Preface to this volume: Dear Sir Vincent: Perhaps you will allow me to put in a letter what is more usually put in a formal preface? Some time after Mr. H. A. L. Fisher found or re-found in the Bodleian the MS. on which this Calendar is based, and suggested that I should edit it, the widespread discussion of the relations of the various parts of the British Isles gave a special if still academic interest to the study of the relations of England and Wales in Tudor times. But for various reasons it was not until the War had begun to cast its shadow over everything that I was fortunate enough to find a publisher in your Society. For this I need hardly say that I am grateful both to you and, through you, to your Society. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
