Excerpt from Notes on Ancient Britain and the Britons This little Work has grown out of a collection for a Course of Lectures on "Ancient Britain and the Britons." If I have cast any new light on the subjects under hand, it has been by a careful use of my little knowledge of the British language, which I believe Antiquaries have too often neglected. "To study tribes without their speech, Is to grope for what our sight should teach." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"History of the Britons" (Latin: Historia Brittonum) is a historic manuscript of the indigenous British people that was originally written in Latin around 828 A.D. It is commonly attributed to the Welsh monk Nennius, as some early manuscripts have a preface written in his name. It describes the supposed settlement of Britain by Trojan expatriates and states that Britain took its name from Brutus, a descendant of Aeneas, a Trojan hero in Greco-Roman mythology.
