The Times.
“No greater service can be rendered to literature than the republication, in a handsome and attractive form, of works which time and the continued approbation of the world have made classical.... This new library edition of Dr. Lingard’s ‘History of England,’ which has just been published in ten volumes, is an excellent reproduction of a work which had latterly been becoming somewhat scarce, and of which a new edition seems to be really wanted.... The accuracy of Lingard’s statements on many points of controversy, as well as the genial sobriety of his view, is now recognised.”
