"While...not profound, it is thoroughly healthy in tone; and, with the
exception of Green, for the purposes of the general reader, is probably
the best history of England yet completed [1888]... Four of the
volumes are devoted to the period subsequent to the Revolution of
1688. On the history of more recent events, therefore, it is much
fuller than any of the other histories of similar scope and purpose."

"In the first place, they form distinctively a political history, and there-

author is strongly impressed with the continuity of British history...
The first volume ends with the reign of Richard I, and concludes with
a good description of the literary and social condition of England at
that time. The second volume continues the work to the time of the
full establishment of the English constitution under the Lancastrian
kings." C. K. Adams.

He is concerned only with politics and though (as we think wrongly)
he divides his book up into reigns, he is silent concerning the pageants

is to show the development of political Britain-Great and Greater-

the Confessor has been simply the period of development." C. K.

History-for the average man is likely to shrink from a whole volume

lieve that students will rate it as high as, if not indeed higher than, any
of Mr. Green's former works." Saturday review, 1882.

Its arrangement is not good, and it is in parts diffuse. Some of Kemble's opinions...have been rejected by later and better informed writers... But by far the larger number of his opinions, many of them expounded by him for the first time in England, have been confirmed by later investigation, and his book is remarkable both on account of the use made in it of the documents in the 'Codex' and as being the first work in which the institutions of other branches of the Teutonic race set forth by German scholars were treated to any large extent as a guide in the examination of those in force among the Anglo-Saxons."

readers will probably be found somewhat juiceless." C. K. Adams.

Not a popular book but written by one whose knowledge in Celtic
language and etymology leads the reader through the mazes of history,
which he brings down to the Norman conquest of South Wales and the
feudalization of the Scottish kingdom. The conclusions which the
author draws from the fragments of evidence before him furnish the
most interesting part of the book. Adapted from the Saturday review,
