Stubbs, Rt. Rev. William, bishop of Oxford. Lectures on early English history; ed. by Arthur Hassall. *$4. Longmans.
“The first half of the volume is, in some measure, a commentary upon the author’s ‘Select charters.’ ... The second half of the book is a series of lectures on an entirely different topic—a study of medieval constitutions in the light of nationality and religion. In these pages Bishop Stubbs is less restrained than in his treatment of the details of the English constitution, and they reveal, not, indeed, the humour of the companion volume, but some of the speaker’s fundamental positions and convictions.”—Lond. Times.
