“Mr. Beazley’s work is most timely. It is without doubt the best that has yet appeared on the subject. It is not only a work belonging to geographical literature, it has an important place in historical literature. Such a work serves well to impress the importance of historical geography, an importance which receives commendable recognition in the European countries, but which we in America are slow to appreciate.” E. L. Stevenson.

“The form and arrangement of the book undoubtedly leaves something to be desired. After surmounting a long list of abbreviations and corrections, a very ill-knit preface, and an introduction which reads like an after-thought, the reader flounders heavily amid footnotes, supplementary notes, appendix notes, and bibliographical notes. The references are often rather bewildering, and one misses a capable summary at the close. One is easily reconciled to the lumbering of the wheels by the novelty of the outlook and the strange vision of these outlandish regions, so seldom penetrated by modern book.”

“In the completion of his great work Mr. Beazley has done and more than done for the middle ages what Bunbury did for ancient times in his ‘Ancient geography.’”
