Volume 1, Complete" is a historical account published in the early 19th century. It encompasses a comprehensive description of the histories and notable events in England, Scotland, and Ireland, chronicling their customs, geography, and governance, primarily focusing on the time of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The text serves as a significant reference for understanding the development of British history through the eyes of contemporary writers and historians. The opening of the chronicle sets the stage for a thorough historical exploration of Britain, introducing readers to the foundational concepts and geographical divisions of the island. It discusses the traditional belief that the Earth was divided among Noah's sons and delves into the early history of Britain, touching on ancient names, inhabitants, and the establishment of various kingdoms. The narrative dismisses notions of the island's earliest giants while grounding its arguments in a variety of historical sources, establishing a framework for the ensuing detailed accounts of England, Scotland, and Ireland that follow in this monumental work.
