Stranica xxiii - For ir.y part, the oftener I consult this chronicle, the more I wonder at the things in it, and I cannot but esteem the book as extremely pleasant, useful, and curious, by reason of these very odd cuts.
Stranica l - ... valuable as the chronicle of Robert of Gloucester. Declining also, as he does, to compare him with Chaucer, in respect to poetical merit, he claims for him the honour of being the first of English writers.
