"An immensely impressive work. The judiciousness of tone and thoroughness of coverage inspire such confidence that it is hard to imagine that this will not be the standard account for the next generation or so."--History

"Bound to become the standard general work on the subject. Recommended for all college and larger public libraries."--Choice

"The most reliable survey to which we can now turn for the history of events in Britain from the invasions of Caesar to the fifth century."--Virginia Quarterly Review
