European History, 476–918

By C. W. C. OMAN, M.A., Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford.

Forming Volume I. of Periods of European History.

‘Notwithstanding its modest scale, this volume (Period I.) will be valued by all historical students as supplying a real want in our historical literature, and supplying it well. ... He paints on a small scale, it is true, but his touch is sure and his insight keen. For the accuracy of his facts his historical reputation is a sufficient guarantee.’—Times.

‘Though on a comparatively small scale, Mr. Oman’s sketch is complete and vivid. His insight and acumen in appreciating the bearing of events and in estimating the influence of personal character are particularly striking, whilst his pleasing and picturesque style makes the perusal of his work as enjoyable from the literary as it is instructive from the historical point of view.’—Glasgow Herald.

‘Mr. Oman seems to have, or to have acquired, the art of compression without sacrifice of interest, as we can testify from a somewhat careful reading of the volume. ... We have only been able to indicate the main features of a most useful and well-executed work: we look forward with pleasure to the forthcoming volumes of the series, which promise to be a monument of utility and of interest to all students of European history. The volume, which is well printed and neatly bound, concludes with a full and well-constructed index.’—Birmingham Daily Gazette.
