“It is obvious at a glance that the present work possesses a number of admirable qualities. In the first place the proportions are excellent. It is totally free from theological bias: it is eminently fair-minded and just in its conception of the important characters of the period. A closer examination, however, reveals a wide discrepancy in knowledge, treatment, and expression between the first part of the book and the second. A number of minor errors and inaccuracies reveal his inadequate acquaintance with the recent literature of this period and his style, in the first part of his book, lacks precision and definiteness. But the gravest defect of all is the author’s ignorance of continental affairs from 1485 to the accession of Elizabeth.” Roger Bigelow Merriman.
