THE CLOSE OF THE MIDDLE AGES, 1273–1494

By R. LODGE, M.A., LL.D., Professor of History at the University of Edinburgh.

Forming Volume III. of Periods of European History.

‘The book is admirably written, it contains maps and genealogical tables, an exhaustive index, and a bibliography which students will value as an aid to the interpretation of the whole period as well as a clue to any part of it.’—Standard.

‘We are exceedingly thankful for the Series, and as we have already said, to Prof. Lodge. There is no longer any excuse for English-speaking teachers to be wholly ignorant of the history of Europe. The obligation lies on them to purchase these volumes, and then read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, so that they can supplement their teaching with intelligible comment.’—School World.

‘The book must be regarded as quite indispensable to all English students of the late Middle Ages.’—University Correspondent.
