Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 1 of 12: From the Earliest Period to the Death of Elizabeth
ON reading our Alfred's anglo-saxon transla tion of Boetius, the author observed passages which were not in the original. Struck with this curious fact, he compared the king's work carefully with the Latin of Boetius, and found that Alfred had frequently taken occasion to insert his own thoughts and reasonings in various parts, forming so many little essays, dialogues, and imitated tales, of' our venerable sovereign's own composition. Some of the most important of these have been selected and translated, and inserted in the second volume of the present edition.
