520 |a The assumption that Britannia is a history of Roman Britain lacks support in all of Camden's published writings and needs to be corrected. Camden's true aims, which were expressed in the preface (Ad Lectorem) that followed the dedication to Burghley in the first edition, were to tell the story of the most ancient Britons, to disclose the origin of the English people, and to identify the British cities mentioned in Ptolemy's Geography and other ancient geographical writings. The main structural features of Britannia, particularly its tripartite arrangement, seem to have been planned to accommodate these objectives. Thus, in the first of Britannia's three main divisions, a chronological survey of British history down to the Norman Conquest, Camden traces the origins of the peoples who formed the British nationalities; in the second and third, which are arranged topographically, he unfolds this same narrative in a series of itineraries linking all the regions of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
