HERODOTUS.
History; a new English version;
edited with notes, etc.,
by George Rawlinson and G. Wilkinson.
London: J. Murray. 1858. 4 volumes.
A work of great value, in which Canon Rawlinson and Mr.
Wilkinson were assisted by Sir Henry Rawlinson, the
Assyriologist. It in not every reader who has leisure two
master such a book as Rawlinson's English 'Herodotus.' But;
something of this fountain of history all may know; Even
such pleasant boy's as Mr. Church's 'Stories from the East'
and 'Stories from Herodotus' we get some flavour of the
fine old Greek traveller. There are three great sections of
Herodotus which are of special interest:
1. the history of the foundation of Cyrus' kingdom;
2. the books on the history, antiquities and customs of Egypt;
3. the immortal story of Marathon, Thermopylæ and Salamis."

"This volume is but the first of a series which is intended
to embrace the whole history of Egypt down to modern times.
It is expected that three volumes will treat of the period
of the Pharaohs, one volume of the Ptolemies, one volume of
the Roman age, and one volume of Arabic Egypt. So far as
practicable, the same system will be maintained throughout,
though by different writers; and the aim of all will be to
provide a general history, with such fulness and precision
as shall suffice for the use of students."

ARISTOTLE.
On the Constitution of Athens;
translated by E. Poste.
London: Macmillan & Co. 1891.
A translation of the lately-found treaties believed to be
by Aristotle. "While putting us in possession of more facts
concerning the constitutional history of Athens than have
been known hitherto, this treatise presents very great
difficulties, both critical and historical. … We must
receive the new information with caution, and far from
looking on it as superseding our older authorities, we must
remember that much of it may not be the work of Aristotle
or of Aristotle's time."

ARNOLD, THOMAS.
History of Rome; new edition.
London: T. Fellowes. 1871. 3 volumes.
Dr. Arnold's History is founded on Niebuhr's. The fact is
frankly stated in his preface: " When Niebuhr died, and
there was now no hope of seeing his great work completed in
a manner worthy of its beginning, I was more desirous than
ever of executing my original plan, of presenting in a more
popular form what he had lived to finish, and of continuing
it afterwards with such advantages as I have derived from a
long study and an intense admiration of his example and
model." It was Dr. Arnold's hope to cover the whole stretch
of Roman history, to Charlemagne; but he had only reached
the narrative of the second Punic War when death arrested
his work.

"This noble work, in some respects the grandest of the
author's conceptions, was never completed. … The war of
1866 between Prussia and Austria marked the beginning of
organic changes in Germany which Mr. Freeman was anxious to
watch for awhile before finishing his book. He therefore
turned aside and took up the third of his three great
works[the History od Sicily being the second]—the only one
that he lived to complete—the History of the Norman
Conquest of England."

GIBBON, EDWARD.
History of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire;
with notes by Milman, Guizot, and Dr. William Smith.
"We may correct and improve in detail from the stores which
have been opened since Gibbon's time; we may write again
large parts of his story from other, and often truer and
more wholesome, points of view. But the work of Gibbon, as
a whole, as the encyclopædic history of thirteen hundred
years, as the grandest of historical designs carried out
alike with wonderful power and with wonderful accuracy,
must ever keep its place. Whatever else is read, Gibbon
must be read too."
E. A. Freeman, Historical Essays, pages 307-308.
"It is no personal paradox but the judgment of all
competent men, that the 'Decline and Fall' of Gibbon is the
most perfect historical composition that exists in any
language: at once scrupulously faithful in its facts;
consummate in its literary art; and comprehensive in
analysis of the forces affecting society over a very long
and crowded epoch."

"A business man, foreign to university life and its
traditions, a skeptic in religion, a positivist in
philosophy and, above all, an advanced Radical in
politics," Grote. "was persuaded that the great social and
political results of Greek history were because of, and not
in spite of, the prevalence of democracy among its states.
He would not accept the verdict of all the old Greek
theorist who voted for the rule of the one or enlightened
few; and he wrote what may be called a great political
pamphlet in twelve volumes in vindication of democratic
principles. It was this idea which not only marshalled his
facts, but lent its fire to his argument; and when combined
with his Radicalism in religion and philosophy, produced a
book so remarkable, that, however much it may be corrected
and criticised, it will never be superseded. It is probably
the greatest history among the many great histories
produced in this century; and though very inferior in style
to Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall,' will rank next to it as a
monument of English historical genius."

Closes with the death of Sulla., where Dean Merivale begins
his "History of the Romans under the Empire." "As the book
maintains in all its parts a strictly judicial attitude, it
is far less entertaining than the brilliant advocacy of
Mommsen; but for this very reason it is to be held as a
safer authority."

"His [Merivale's] history is a great work in itself, and it
must be a very great work indeed which can outdo it within
its own range. In days of licensed blundering like ours, it
is delightful indeed to come across the sound and finished
scholarship; the unwearied and unfailing accuracy, of Mr.
Merivale. … On some points we hold that Mr. Merivale's
views are open to dispute; but it is, always his views,
never his statements."

POLYBIOS.
Histories;
translated from the text of Hultsch by E. S. Shuckburgh.
London: Macmillan & Co. 1889. 2 volumes.
Polybios, "the historian of the Decline and Fall of Ancient
Greece," "is like a writer of our own times; with far less
of inborn genius, he possessed a mass of acquired knowledge
of which Thucydides could never have dreamed. He had, like
a modern historian, read many books and seen many lands. …
He had, himself personally a wider political experience than
fell to the lot of any historian before or after him. … He
could remember Achaia a powerful federation, Macedonia a
powerful monarchy, Carthage still free, Syria still
threatening; he lived to see them all subject provinces or
trembling allies of the great municipality Rome."

revised edition, with notes.
London: Macmillan & Co. 1877-82. 3 volumes.
The annals of Tacitus extend over most of the period from
the death of Augustus to Nero, with important parts lost.
The fragments preserved of the history gives us only four
and a half out of fourteen books which made up the original
work. These books contain the history of the years 69 and
70, not quite complete, and tell the story of the Vitellian
conflict.
THIRLWALL, CONNOP.
History of Greece.
London: Longmans. 1835. 8 volumes.
Bishop Thirlwall's History covers the whole national life
of the Greeks, down to the Roman conquest. "The strength of
Thirlwall as clearly lies in the history of Alexander and
his successors as the strength of Grote lies in the
political history of Athenian and Syracusan democracy, as
the strength of Curtius lies in the geography, in the
artistic side of things, in the general picture of that age
which was the glory of Athens, but which, as the disciples
of Finlay know, was an age of decline for Hellas in the
wider sense."
E. A. Freeman,
The Methods of Historical Study,
page 287.
"The student of to-day who is really intimate with
Thirlwall's history may boast that he has a sound and
accurate view of all the main questions in the political
and social development of the Hellenic nation. But he will
never have been carried away with enthusiasm."

THUCYDIDES.
History;
translated into English, with introduction and notes,
by B. Jowett.
Oxford: Clarendon Press. 1881. 2 volumes.
"Thucydides is much more than a great historian; or,
rather, he was what every great historian ought to be—he
was a profound philosopher. His history of the
Peloponnesian War is like a portrait by Titian; the whole
mind and character, the inner spirit and ideals, the very
tricks and foibles, of the man or the age come before us in
living reality. No more memorable, truthful and profound
portrait exists than that wherein Thucydides has painted
the Athens of the age of Pericles."

external events of which his history is composed, nor do we
complain of the minute and laborious zeal with which he has
gathered every particular concerning them, ransacking

complain that he has allowed the tumult and dust of these
vast contests to stop his ears and blind his eyes to every

These well-named "Studies" in the political history of the

1848, in Spain, Russia Austria, Prussia, Holland, and

different boundaries which the same country has had, and

the different meanings in which the same name has been
used.

"The originality of M. Guizot's work consists in the truly
scientific spirit and character of his method. He was the
first to dissect a society, in the same comprehensive,
impartial, and thorough way in which an anatomist dissects
the body of an animal, and the first to study the functions
of the social organism in the same systematic and careful
manner in which the physiologist studies the functions of
the animal organism."

London: J. Murray. 3 volumes.
New York: W. J, Widdleton. 3 volumes.
"He [Hallam] never thoroughly took in either the Imperial
or the ecclesiastical element in history; if I say that he
did not thoroughly take in the Teutonic element either, it
might seem that I leave him no standing-ground at all. And
whither shall he seem to vanish, if I add that he never
shows that same kind of thorough knowledge of original
authorities, that mastery of them that delight in them,
which stands out in every line of Kemble and Palgrave?
Hallam had nothing of the spirit of the antiquary; he had
not, I should say very much of the spirit of the historian
proper. Yet Hallam was a memorable writer, whose name ought
to be deeply honoured, and a large part of whose writings
are as valuable now as when they were first written."

"While giving the essential facts of universal history, he
[Lavisse] aims above all, to describe the formation and
political development of the states of Europe, and to
indicate the historical causes of their present condition
and mutual relations. In other words, he shows how the
existing political divisions of Europe, with their peculiar
tendencies, were created. … The ability of Professor
Lavisse to compress the essence of a great event or
sequence of events into a few comprehensive and expressive
sentences, has enabled him to accomplish his difficult task
with signal success."

"His pages bring before us tales handed down by oral
tradition alone for perhaps two or three generations,
together with documents and letters as genuine as the

marvellous incidents ends, and where the region of fact
begins."

"For many years—as Professor of Modern History, first at
the State University of Michigan, afterward at Cornell
University—I had been seeking a work which should give to
thoughtful students a view, large but concise, of the
political history of Continental Europe in the nineteenth
century. … At last I came upon the 'Politische Geschichte
der Neuesten Zeit,' by Professor Wilhelm Miller, of
Tübingen. … Three readings of it satisfied me that it is
what is needed in America. … It is not an abridgment; it is
a living history."

A student's history of England, from the earliest
times to 1885.
London: Longmans. 1890—1. 3 volumes.
Professor Gardiner, being a specialist distinctly, in the
one period of English history to which he has devoted
himself—the period of the Stuarts—would not claim
authority, of course, as an original investigator of other
times; and some parts of this general text-book have been
found open to criticism. But, on the whole, it can claim
the first rank among text-books of its class.

politician in Germany, he surveys his subject from a
different standpoint."

GREEN, JOHN RICHARD.
Short history of the English people.
Illustrated edition, edited by Mrs. J. R. Green and

London: Macmillan & Co.
New York: Harper & Bros. 4 volumes.
"The success of the 'Short History' was rapid and
overwhelming. Everybody read it. It was philosophical
enough for scholars, and popular enough for school boys. No
historical book since Macaulay's has made its way so fast.
… The characteristic note of his [Green's] genius was also
that of Gibbon's, the combination of a perfect mastery of
multitudinous details with a large and luminous view of
those far-reaching forces and relations which govern the
fortunes of peoples and guide the course of empire."

MACAULAY, THOMAS BABINGTON, Baron.
History of England from the accession of James II.
London: Longmans.
A brief survey of previous events introduces the history
proper which begins with the accession of James II., in
1685. As the death of the author brought his work to an
abrupt end before he had finished his account of the reign
of William III. (1689-1702), the history covers a period of
less than eighteen years. Its extraordinary brilliancy, on
the one and, and its defects of partisan prejudice and
misjudgment on the other, are well known. "I can see
Macaulay's great and obvious faults as well as any man; I
know as well as any man the cautions with which his
brilliant pictures must be studied; but I cannot feel that
I have any right to speak lightly of one to whom I owe so
much in the matter of actual knowledge, and to whom I owe
more than to any man as the master of historical
narrative."

POWELL, F. YORK.
History of England, to the death of Henry VII.
London: F. Rivingtons.

Oxford: Clarendon Press. 1882. 2 volumes.
"Taken as a whole, the seven volumes ['Norman Conquest' and
'William Rufus'] give us such a masterly philosophic
analysis and such a picturesque and vivid narrative of the
history of England in the eleventh century that it must be
pronounced the monumental work upon which Mr. Freeman's
reputation will chiefly rest."
John Fiske,
Edward Augustus Freeman

GAIRDNER, JAMES.
History of the life and reign of Richard III.
London: Longmans. 1878.
"I have, in working out this subject, always adhered to the
plan of placing my chief reliance on contemporary

original authorities and contemporary records, or that can
be reasonably inferred from what they say."

In the first of these books, Mr. Green has told the story

which it still retains." In the second work he continues
the narrative to the Norman conquest.

London: B. Quaritch. 1876. 2 volumes.
"An account of the principles upon which the public and
political, life of our Anglosaxon forefathers was based;
and of the institutions in which those principles were most
clearly manifested."
Author's Preface.
"Kemble has no narrative work to compare with that of
Palgrave; but the 'Saxons in England' may fairly be
compared with the 'History of the English Commonwealth.'
They are two great works, works of two great scholars,
who assuredly are not yet superseded. They will give you
two sides of the same general story."

England under the Angevin kings.
London: Macmillan & Co. 1887. 2 volumes.
"In point of historical scholarship it is rarely indeed

strikes us before all things is her firm grasp of facts and
authorities. … It is a sterling book, one which places its
writer very high indeed in the ranks of real scholars."

a new edition, edited by James Gairdner.
London: [E. Arber.] 1872. 3 volumes.
"A collection of family letters written during the Wars of
the Roses, which are now commonly known as the 'Paston
Letters,' because most of them were written by or to
particular persons of the family of Paston in Norfolk. …
Mr. Gardner's Introduction of 130 closely printed pages to
the first volume, 50 to the second, and 60 to the third, is
a book in itself, giving a clear record of the public and
private life of England from 1422 to 1509, so far as they
are illustrated by, or illustrate, the 'Paston letters.'"

PEARSON, CHARLES H.
History of England during the Early and Middle Ages.
London: Bell & Daldy. 1867. 2 volumes.
A work of ability which presents views of early English
history considerably antagonistic to those of Stubbs,
Freeman and Green, especially concerning the
destructiveness of the Saxon conquest and the completeness
of the break in institutional history which that event
produced; also touching the results of the Norman conquest.

readable book."

Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, played a
dishonorable but important part in the strife for the

in the most thorough study that has been made of that
distressing time of anarchy.

"In along and careful study of the Bishop of Chester's
writings I will not say that I have always agreed with
every inference that he has drawn from his evidence; but I
can say that I have never found a flaw in the statement of
his evidence. … After five-and-thirty years' knowledge of
him and his works, I can say without fear that he is the
one man among living scholars to whom one may most freely
go as to an oracle, that we may feel more sure with him
than with any other that in his answer we carry away words
of truth which he must be rash indeed who calls in
question."

'Letters an Papers of the Reign of Henry VIII.,' edited by
Professor Brewer for the Master of the Rolls. … They do not
… contain a detailed systematic narrative of all that was
done in the times of which they treat; but they certainly
do contain a review of the reign of Henry VIII. down to the
death of Wolsey, as clear sighted as it is comprehensive,
drawn from the latest sources of information, carefully
collected and arranged by the author himself."

descriptions accompanied by much admirable and just
criticism. In its composition he was largely aided by his
researches among the archives at Simancas, collections
which at that time had been very imperfectly investigated.
Unfortunately, the conception he has formed of the
character and conduct of Henry VIII. is of so strange and
unreal a kind as to deprive this portion of his History of
much of its value. The reign of Edward VI. is described
with more impartiality, but the policy of Somerset is
somewhat harshly judged. … The volumes that relate to the
reign of Elizabeth are the most valuable part of the work."
