![MODERN HISTORICAL EPOCHS. In course of puhlication, each volume infcp. ^vo. complete in itself, EPOCHS OF MODERN HISTORY: A SERIES OF BOOKS NARRATING THE HISTORY of ENGLAND and EUROPE At SUCCESSIVE EPOCHS SUBSEQUENT to the CHRISTIAN ERA. EDITED BY E. E. MOHRIS, M.A. Lincoln Coll. Oxford; J. S. PHILLPOTTS, B.C.L. New Coll. Oxford; and C. COLBECK, M.A. Fellow of Trin. Coll. Cambridge. * This striking collection of little volumes is a valuable contribution to the litera- ture of the day, whether for youthful or more mature readers. As an abridgment of several important phases of modern history it has great merit, and some of its parts display powers and qualities of a high order. Such writers, indeed, as Professor Stubbs, Messrs. Warburton, Gairdner, Creighton, and others, could not fail to give us excellent work. . . . The style of the series is, as a general rule, correct and pure; in the case of Mr. Stubbs it more than once rises into genuine, simple, and manly eloquence; and the composi- tion of some of the volumes displays no ordinary historical skill. . . . The Series is and deserves to be popular.' The Times. The BEGINNING of the MIDDLE AGES; Charles the Great and Alfred; the History of England in connexion with that of Europe in the Ninth Centurv.

By Fellow and Tutor of Merton College, Oxford ' Notwithstanding the severe compression re- quired, Mr. Creighton has succeeded in present- ing a far from unreadable book, which will be of great assistance to the student. Although pro- minence is given to the history of England, the contemporaneous history of Europe has not been neglected, and the Author has shewn, wherever it was possible, the connexion of events passing in different countries. An impartial view is taken of the causes which led to the rise and progress of the Reformation in Europe, due the Rev. M. Creighton, M.A. late , With 6 Maps and 4 Genealogical Tables. 2s. Gd. weight being given to the political and social, as well as to the religious element, shewing how by the course of events that great inevitable change was led to adopt the character which it even- tually assumed.... After all that has been written about the reign of Elizabeth, Mr. Creighton may be congratulated in having produced an epitome which is valuable, not only to the stu- dent, biit to all who are in any degree interested in the history of that period.' Academy. The HOUSES of LANCASTER and LOSS of FRANCE. By James Gairdner, of Letters' &c. With 5 Coloured Maps. Price ' This series of Epochs of History is one of the most useful contributions to school literature vrithin our knowledge. The division of our na- tional history into portions is an assistance to its acquisition as a whole; and each portion forms a definite amount of work adapted to a definite portion of the school year. The chief merit of these little volumes, however, is to be found in their authorship. It is—to borrow ttieir title—an epoch in the history of school histories, when, as in this series, we find amongst their Authors a few eminent historians. The writer of the volume on the Wars of the Roses is distinguished by his researches into the close of the period of which it treats, and by his publica- tion of Papers illustrative of the reigns of Richard III. and Henry VII. The treatment which the whole of this period receives in this short volume YORK; with the CONQUEST and the Public Record Office ; Editor of' The Paston 2s. Gd. is very admirable. What is chiefly required in compiling such a book is the art of leaving out. Selections must be made of the persons to be de- scribed and of the events to be narrated, and this involves a large knowledge besides a dis- criminating judgment. Mr. Gairdner says the age of the Wars of the Roses is towards its close one of the most obscure in English history. But it is one that a schoolboy thinks he knows best. The invasion of France by Henry V. and the struggles of two Kings with Warwick, have such a dramatic interest, and stand out so promi- nently, that the social condition of the people is lost sight of. This Epoch is published op]X)r- tunely, as the subject is, in part at least, pre- scribed for the next middle-class examination. It wiU be found well adapted to class work, and useful for its preparation. Nonconformist. London, LONGMANS & CO.
