"With its careful and convincing descriptions of persons and places, of costume and manners, with its ingenuous narrative and its simple reflections, this is a document of great interest."--_The Bookman_. No. VI. HISTORICAL ESSAYS. Edited by T. F. TOUT, M.A., Professor of Mediæval and Modern History, and JAMES TAIT, M.A., Professor of Ancient and Mediæval History. Demy 8vo, pp. xv. 557. 6s. net. Reissue of the Edition of 1902 with Index and New Preface. (Publication No. 27, 1907.) "Diese zwanzig chronologisch geordneten Aufsätze heissen in der Vorrede der Herausgeber _Festchrift_, behandeln zur Hälfte ausser-englische Themata, benutzen reichlich festländische Literatur und verraten überall neben weiten Ausblicken eine methodische Schulung die der dortigen Facultät hohe Ehre macht."--Professor Liebermann in _Deutsche Literaturzeitung_. "Imperial history, local history, ecclesiastical history, economic history and the methods of historical teaching--all these are in one way or another touched upon by scholars who have collaborated in this volume. Men and women alike have devoted their time and pains to working out problems of importance and often of no slight difficulty. The result is one of which the university and city may be justly proud."--The late Professor York Powell in the _Manchester Guardian_. "Esso contiene venti lavori storici dettati, quattro da professori e sedici da licenziati del Collegio, e sono tutto scritti appositamente e condotti secondo le più rigorose norme della critica e su documenti."--R. Predelli in _Nuovo Archivio Veneto_. "La variété des sujets et l'érudition avec laquelle ils sont traités font grand honneur à la manière dont l'histoire est enseigné à Owens College."--_Revue Historique_. "No one who reads these essays will do so without acknowledging their ability, both in originality and research. They deal with historic subjects from the beginnings of Cæsar-worship to the detention of Napoleon at St. Helena, and they deal with them in a thoroughgoing fashion."--_Guardian_. "Par nature, c'est un recueil savant, qui témoigne du respect et de l'émulation que sait exercer pour les études historiques la jeune et déjà célèbre université."--_Revue d'histoire ecclésiastique_ (Louvain). "All these essays reach a high level; they avoid the besetting sin of most of our present historical writing, which consists of serving up a hash of what other historians have written flavoured with an original spice of error.... They are all based on original research and written by specialists."--Professor A. F. Pollard in the _English Historical Review_. "Sie bilden einen schönen Beweis fur die rationelle Art, mit der dort dieses Studium betrieben wird."--Professor O. Weber in _Historische Zeitschrift_. The Index can be purchased separately, price 6d.
