The first and most distinguished portion of Turner's History of England from the Earliest Times to the Death of Elizabeth, originally published in four volumes 1799-1805. Turner was the first to write a history of England using original source material from Anglo-Saxon manuscripts, and the first to make use of dictionaries, catalogues and grammars that had been compiled earlier in the 18th century. "His work first occupied a great field. He not only felt an enthusiasm for the subject, but he had a genuine power of presentation ... and, in addition to the respect of such scholars as Hallam and Southey, he won the abiding interest of Scott, and later of Tennyson" (DNB).
