A CATHOLIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND. 



The Anglo-Saxon Period. Complete in Three 

 Volumes. 



This Day is published, price 183., the Third and 

 Concluding Volume of 



CATHOLIC HISTORY OF 



_ ENGLAND. By WILLIAM BER- 

 ARD MAO CABE. 



" In days like these, when so many of our 

 new books are but old ones newly dressed up, 

 a work of original research, and for which the 

 materials have been accumulated by the 

 writer with great labour and diligence, de- 

 serves especial commeivtation. Of such a cha- 

 racter is the ' Catholic History of England ! 

 its Rulers, Clergy, and Poor, before the Re- 

 formation, as described by the Monkish His- 

 torians,' by William Bernard MaeCabe ; of 

 which the third volume, extending from the 

 reign of Edward the Martyr to the Norman 

 Conquest, has just been published. The vo- 

 lumes bear evidence in every page that they 

 are, as the author describes them, ' the results 

 of the writing and research of many hours — 

 the only hours for many years that I had to 

 ■pare from other and harder toils.' Himself a 

 zealous and sincere follower of the ' ancient 

 faith,' Mr. MacCabe's views of the characters 

 and events of which he is treating naturally 

 assume the colouring of his own mind i many, 

 therefore, will dissent from them. None of 

 his readers will, however, dissent from bestow- 

 ing upon his work the praise of ^eing carefully 

 complied and most originally written. None 

 will deny the charm with which Mr. MacCabe 

 has invested his ' History,' by his admirable 

 mode of making the old monkish writers tell 

 their own story." — X'otes and Queries. 



" Mr. MacCabe's mode of co»nposition is as 

 novel 8S his plan. Sacrificing ordinary lite- 

 rary pride, he makes the old Monkish writers 

 compose the narrative — his ingenuity being 

 displayed in the skill with wliich the passages, 

 translated directly from the original, with all 

 their natural vigour of language, are connected, 

 so as to produce an appearance of oneness of 

 design and continuity. He then fuses into one 

 whole centuries of observation and narrative, 

 and in fact revives those dead monks and 

 scribes till they write his book. The plan is 

 not only new, but it was necessary, as the 

 reader will ftnd if he compare the garbled and 

 inaccurate version given by Hume and some 

 other writers, with the original statements of 

 the same events incorporated in these pogei. 

 He will also be better able to understand, when 

 this universality of authorities is explained, 

 why this book should be called a 'Catholic 

 History.' The work is of great literary value." 

 — Times. 



" It treats the Anglo-Saxon period under a 

 phase quite diftierent fi om that in which it is 

 viewed by Lingard in his Anglo-Saxon Anti- 



auities. Lingard describes the doctrine and 

 octrinal practice of the age ; the Catholic 

 History tells the story of its inner life. Each, 

 therefore, may be regarded as the complement 

 of the other. Both are indispensable to every ■ 

 English historical collection." — i>«i)?m Re-
