THE HISTORY OF THE - of Agincourt; AND OF THE EXPEDITION OF HE FIFTH INTO FRANCE: TO WHICH IS ADDED, L OF THE MEN AT ARMS, N THE ENGLISH ARMY. AS HARRIS NICOLAS, ESQ. LAW, FELLOW OF THE SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES. A RENASCENTUR QUÆ JAM CECIDERE. HORACE. London: BY JOHNSON, BROOKE STREET, HOLBORN; , FLEET STREET; AND JENNINGS, POULTRY. MDCCCXXVII. SIRE, IT is with sentiments of the profoundest duty and veneration, that I presume to lay at your Majesty's feet, a HISTORY OF THE BATTLE OF AGINCOURT. There is, Sire, I persuade myself, singular propriety in submitting a description of an event which forms so brilliant an epoch in English history, to the protection of your Majesty, under whose auspices, the splendour, even of that victory has been rivalled, if not eclipsed. That your Majesty may long continue to hold the sceptre of this Empire, and thus ensure its glory in science, in literature, and in arms, is the fervent prayer of, Sire, Your Majesty's Most humble, and dutiful Subject and Servant, NICHOLAS HARRIS NICOLAS. |
