1878 Under the title of "The Monarchy," Mr. Green deals with (Chapter I.) the House of York-(II.) The Revival of Learning-(III.) Wolsey(IV.) Thomas Cromwell. The seven chapters in which the Reformation is treated have for their respective subjects (I.) The Protestant Revolution(II.) The Catholic Reaction-(III.) The England of Elizabeth—(IV.) England and Mary Stuart-(V.) England and the Papacy-(VI.) England and Spain, and (VII.) The England of Shakspere.

The Examiner, in reviewing the first volume, says, "Mr. Green has done a work which probably no one but himself could have done. He has read and assimilated the results of all the labours of students during the last half century in the field of English history, and has given them a fresh meaning by his own independent study. He has fused together by the force of sympathetic imagination all that he has so collected, and has given us a vivid and forcible sketch of the march of English history. His book, both in its aims and its acccomplishment, rises far beyond any of a similar kind, and it will give the colouring to the popular view of English history for some time to come."

13950 KEMBLE (John M.) THE SAXONS IN ENGLAND: a History of the
English Commonwealth till the period of the Norman Conquest,
2 vols. 8vo. pp. ix, 435, and 562, facsimile reprint of the scarce
original edition published in 1819 (pub. at 24s), cloth, 20s 1876

This important work had become so rare that the copies which occasion-
ally turned up at sales were eagerly competed for, and brought three or four
times the original publication-price. It was the magnum opus of its author, a
scholar unrivalled in his knowledge of the earliest English history and anti-
quities. The works of Sir Francis Palgrave, Lappenberg, and Mr. Freeman,
all belong like this to the new school in which the notions of most writers
upon ancient England are replaced by new and sounder views, but "the
Saxons in England" must be studied by all who would effectively clear their
mental atmosphere of the old clouds of ignorance and error. In this trea-
sury of historical knowledge and criticism, the origines of the English race
have to be sought for, and the earliest forms of that Teutonic civilization
which has developed into the society and institutions of the United Kingdom
and the United States.
