The three histories last named constitute a continuous work of eighteen volumes. Gardiner is not the easiest historian to read, but his work is indispensable to anyone who would get a true view of a period which more than any other in English history has been discolored by brilliant biased historians, from Clarendon to Carlyle and Macaulay. JOHN RICHARD GREEN (1837-83). _A Short History of the English People._ _The Making of England._ _The Conquest of England._ _A History of the English People._ The “History” is a longer, though, perhaps, not a “greater,” book than the “Short History.” RICHARD HAKLUYT (1553-1616). _The Principal Navigations, Voyages and Discoveries of the English Nation._ In eight volumes of _Everyman’s Library_.
