BY THE SAME AUTHOR

Geoffrey de Mandeville

A STUDY OF THE ANARCHY

pp. xii., 461

“For many reasons this is the most remarkable historical work which has recently appeared ... at once received fitting recognition as the most accurate and penetrating work that had till then appeared on the subject.”—Spectator.

“It is not easy, within the limits of a review, to do justice to the learning and ability which characterize Mr. Round’s study.... Indeed few books so learned and suggestive have recently been published.”—Literary World.

“The work is most skilfully and ably done, and a whole series of important discoveries is derived from Mr. Round’s efforts.... The result is a very large addition to our knowledge.... Mr. Round has carried through an undertaking which raises him to a foremost position among historical scholars.”—Athenæum.

“All the vivacity, keenness, freshness, and accuracy that have marked Mr. Round’s previous writings.”—Manchester Guardian.

“Fresh life from dry records is what Mr. Round aims at.... He has permanently associated his name with the scientific study of Anglo-Norman history.”—Prof. Liebermann in English Historical Review.

“M. J. H. Round vient de nous donner une étude des plus pénétrantes et fécondes ... c’est un véritable modèle, et l’on doit souhaiter pour nos voisins qu’il fasse école.”—Revue Historique.

“Almost, if not quite, the most original effort in history during the last twenty years was a twelfth century biographical study in which the value, picturesque and human, of charter evidence was illustrated with unmatched force.”—Athenæum.

Feudal England

HISTORICAL STUDIES ON THE XIth AND XIIth CENTURIES

pp. xiv., 587

“Every one who has any care for the true, the intimate history of mediæval England will at once get this book.... It contains some of the most important contributions that have been made of late years to the earlier chapters of English history.... The day for the charters has come, and with the day the man.... His right to speak is established, and we are listening.”—Athenæum.

“The whole book leaves the stamp of deep research and of a singularly unbiassed mind.... Mr. Round has set all intending researchers an admirable example ... if we ever get a work which is to do for the early institutions of England what the great Coulanges did for those of France, we expect it will be from the pen of Mr. Round.”—Spectator.

“Not the least of Mr. Round’s merits is that the next generation will never want to know how much rubbish he has swept or helped to sweep away. He has done more than any one scholar to put us in the way of reading Domesday Book aright. He has illustrated by abundant examples the wisdom and the necessity of ... patient study of our documents, ... his acute and ever watchful criticism.”—Sir F. Pollock in English Historical Review.

“In Feudal England as in Geoffrey de Mandeville he displays consummate skill in the critical study of records, and uses the evidence thus obtained to check and supplement the chroniclers.”—Dr. Gross in American Historical Review.

“Plein de faits, d’observations pénétrantes, de conclusions neuves et de grande portée, ... il a réussi à rétablir la logique où, avant lui, on ne trouvait que confusion.”—Revue Historique.
