Extract from the Preface 



Many are the accusations which can be brought against 

 the period which Hes between the formation of Chatham's 

 ministry in July 1766 and the collapse of the whig opposition 

 to Lord North in the summer of 1771 ; but it can scarcely be 

 accused of lacking in either interest or importance. Within 

 those few years the destinies of the nation were determined 

 and the work of the Revolution nullified. 



Spectator. — Mr Winstanley has used his mss. authorities judiciously and 

 skilfully, and he steers his way with ease among the tortuous intrigues 

 of the period. He is a spirited and graceful writer, and we shall welcome 

 from him further studies in eighteenth-century ])olitics — It is a fascinating 

 and most interesting piece of political history, and Mr Winstanley's book 

 is well worth the study of everyone who cares to watch the slow and 

 difficult growth of our constitutional forms. 



The Early History of the House of Savoy, looo-i 233. 

 By C. W. Previtd-Orton, M.A., Felloiv of St Johns

Extract from the Preface 



The following pages contain a study on the history of the 

 House of Savoy until the year 1233. Although many works 

 on portions or on aspects of this period have been written, 

 and though it has formed a part of more than one history with 

 wider scope, such as Cibrario's Storia, delta Monarchia di 

 Savoia, yet there seemed to be room for a new investigation, 

 which should at one and the same time treat the subject with 

 a full discussion of its details and with a comprehensive view 



of the period as a whole I have taken as my model in a 



general way the fahrbiicher on the Holy Roman Emperors. 

 That is, I have gone plainly on, discussing events and pro- 

 blems as the times brought them to light and endeavouring to 

 be complete and omit nothing — There will be found in the 

 notes all the important passages of narrative or legal nature 

 on which the text is founded, not merely references to them.
