Excerpt from Alfred the Great From boyhood Alfred was remarkable for his quick intelligence, and was more beautiful and grace ful than his elder brothers. His generous and manly nature made him the pride of his parents and of the people of Wessex. Thus it came about that when only five years old he was chosen by King Ethel wulf in preference to his elder brothers for special honour.

Excerpt from The Life of Alfred the Great A.d. 8q0. The commencement Of the ninth century Of the Christian era was an eventful period in the history of the Anglo Saxons. They had gradually in the course Of years driven the original inhabitants Of Britain from the country which they once occupied, and compelled them to take refuge in Wales, Cornwall, and other places. After many a contest with the Britons, who, for nearly a century and a half, fought bravely for their independence, they succeeded in reducing the island under their own power, and esta blished in it eight distinct anglo-saxon govern ments. These, however, did not remain dis tinct long; the smaller powers were gradually absorbed in the larger, so that at the beginning of the ninth century there were but two rival kingdoms, that Of Mercia, which comprised all the midland counties, (and was bounded on the north by the Humber, on the west by the Severn, and on the south by the Thames, ) and that Of Wessex, which embraced all the southern part Of the kingdom.* At this time.

Excerpt from Alfred the Great, and Other Poems His principal excuse - if any be wanted - for bringing this volume before the public is that the writer - some what partial to history - believes that many of the occurrences which have to do with this vital branch of study may be more kindlingly impressed through the vehicle of poetry than by any other means. Subjects in this class.' therefore - a number of them dealing with figures who dignifyfachievements which brighten our own chronicles, as yet, unhappily, all too impoverished - will be found to occupy a leading place in the collection. To his awarding the post of honour to Alfred - in Freeman's opinion, (to invoke no other authority) the most perfect.

Excerpt from Alfred the Great: Containing Chapters on His Life and Times It may seem strange to some readers that by chance no full account is given of Asser's anecdote of the scene between the king and the herdswoman in the Isle of Athelney, where he took refuge, but as the story is known to all, its omission may perhaps be-pardoned; it is certainly not due to any lack of interest in the story, which seems so strikingly to show that at times, maybe when the king was resting or sitting by the fire mending his bows and weapons, he would become absorbed in the one thought foremost in his mind - that of the welfare of his country and people, then sorely harassed and oppressed by the Danes, and so neglected the homely duty that was present.

Excerpt from Alfred the Great: His Life and Times The author begs to express his best thanks to mr. F. S. Marvin, who not only readily consented to write the Introduction, but also made some useful suggestions for the improvement of the book. It is largely owing to Mr. Marvin's efforts that so much interest was aroused in the Millenary Commemora tions; and his zeal has stimulated others in the same direction.

Excerpt from Alfred the Great: The Truth Teller, Maker of England, 848-899 HE justification for adding to the long list of biographies of King Alfred the Great lies in the abiding charm and permanent importance of the subject. NO statesman of the past has a better claim to be included in a list of Heroes Of the Nations. His life and work have been studied by scholars of many generations. But the subject is still unexhausted and recent years have made considerable additions to our knowledge of it. When, as in the case of the ninth century, contem porary sources are scanty, and Of doubtful inter pretation, it is specially needful to keep up with the advance of historical and literary research. Modern scholars, notably Professor Liebermann, Mr. Plummer, and Mr. Stevenson, have illumi mated many dark places, but it still remains to bring together the chief results of their labours, in a compact and coherent form. This is what I have attempted in the present work. At the same time it is based directly on such original authori ties as are available for the period, and, in particular, on Alfred's own writings. The principal authorities, contemporary and secondary, which I have most frequently used in writing this book, are indicated in the Bibliography.

Excerpt from Alfred in the Chroniclers In each case I have made a new translation from the original, and have endeavoured, as far as possible, in my selections from each writer, to confine myself to such events as are narrated by him alone, or with some special colouring of his own; for each, as a matter of course, made the freest use of the work of his predecessors, and almost invariably without one syllable of acknowledgment. But each adds his own touches to the story - touches which may well be founded on some floating tradition still surviving to his day. I have also prefixed to each a few words of critical notice, and, when needful, a table of contents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
