The following are the territories which John lost by his cruelties and oppressions, which he did not resist from doing to everyone. First of all the duchy of Normandy, the County of Blois, the County of Maine, Anjou, Poitou, the Limosin, Auvergne and Angoulême. And all these districts at one time belonged to King John. Besides this he subjected England and Ireland to the payment of tribute, and never recovered any of his losses, to the day of his death.

"This compilation from original sources will be found an excellent supplement to the ordinary school class-book on History."—Athenæum.
"This new volume (Puritanism and Liberty) of Messrs. Winbolt and Bell's excellent series is fully up to the standard of its predecessors. The existence of such collections of original documents at so reasonable a price must make the study of history infinitely easier for both teacher and pupil, and infinitely more interesting."—Spectator.
"Extracts such as will add flesh and blood to the dry-bones of a textbook."—Journal of Education.
"We have often felt the need for such a book during our own preparation of the history lesson, and we welcome this series.... In view of the recent Regulations of the Department regarding history, the series will be indispensable to those reading history for the L.C. Certificate."—Educational News.
"A wonderful volume for the price asked and is full of good things well chosen."—Guardian.
"The books are excellent and should prove exceedingly useful to scholars, for they are no dry-as-dust compilations, which have done more to turn people against the study of history than anything else."—Field.
