Record.—“We must add a word to express our sense of the interest and value of the appendix to Volume I., which is a translation of the Consuetudinary of the monks of St. Augustine’s, Canterbury. It is a real help to understanding the ways and works, the helps and the temptations, of the monks.”
Bookman.—“Much idle legend has been dissipated by Mr. Taunton’s researches, many points left dark are now cleared up, and in the perplexed quarrellings which ruined the prospects of Catholicism at the close of the reign of Elizabeth, as under James I. and Charles I., the historian holds a balance which does not waver.”
