HISTORY. 



THE GROWTH OF ENGLISH INDUSTRY AND 

 COMMERCE. By W. CUNNINGHAM, M.A., late Deputy to the 

 Knightbridge Professor in the University of Cambridge. With 

 Maps and Charts. Crown 8vo. \is. 



&quot;He is, however, undoubtedly sound in the 

 main, and his work deserves recognition as the 

 result of immense industry and research in a 

 field in which the labourers have hitherto been 

 comparatively few.&quot; Scotsman. 



&quot; Mr Cunningham is not likely to disap 

 point any readers except such as begin by mis 

 taking the character of his book. He does not 

 promise, and does not give, an account of the 



dimensions to which English industry and com 

 merce have grown. It is with the process of 

 growth that he is concerned ; and this proce&amp;gt;s 

 he traces with the philosophical insight which 

 distinguishes bet\veen what is important and 

 what is trivial. He thus follows with care, 

 skill, and deliberation a single thread through 

 the maze of general English history.&quot; Guar

LIFE AND TIMES OF STEIN, OR GERMANY AND 

 PRUSSIA IN THE NAPOLEONIC AGE, by J. R. SEELEY, 

 M.A., Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of 

 Cambridge, with Portraits and Maps. 3 Vols. Demy Svo. 48^. 



&quot; If we could conceive anything similar to 

 a protective system in the intellectual depart 

 ment, we might perhaps look forward to a time 

 when our historians would raise the cry of pro 

 tection for native industry. Of the unquestion 

 ably greatest German men of modern history 

 I speak of Frederick the Great, Goethe and 

 Stem the first two found long since in Carlyle 

 and Lewes biographers who have undoubtedly 

 driven their German competitors out of the 

 field. And now in the year just past Professor 

 Seeley of Cambridge has presented us with a 

 biography of Stein which, though it modestly 

 declines competition with German works and 

 disowns the presumption of teaching us Ger 

 mans our own history, yet casts into the shade 

 by its brilliant superiority all that we have our 

 selves hitherto written about Stein.&quot; Deutsche 

 Rundsc/uiu. 



&quot; In a notice of this kind scant justice can 

 be done to a work like the one before us; no 

 short resume can give even the most meagre 

 notion of the contents of these volumes, wnich 

 contain no page that is superfluous, and none 

 that is uninteresting .... To understand the 



Germany of to-day one must study the Ger 

 many of many yesterdays, and now that study 

 has been made easy by this work, to which no 

 one can hesitate to assign a very high place 

 among those recent histories which have aimed 

 at original research.&quot; Atlienteum. 



&quot;The book before us fills an important gap 

 in English nay, European historical litera 

 ture, and bridges over the history of Prussia 

 from the time of Frederick the Great to the 

 days of Kaiser Wilhelm. It thus gives the 

 reader standing ground whence he may regard 

 contemporary events in Germany in their pro 

 per historic light . . . We congratulate Cam 

 bridge and her Professor of History on the 

 appearance of such a noteworthy production. 

 And we may add that it is something upon 

 which we may congratulate England that on 

 the especial field of the Germans, history, on 

 the history of their own country, by the use of 

 their own literary weapons, an Englishman has 

 produced a history of Germany in the Napo 

 leonic age far superior to any that exists in 

 German. &quot; Examiner. 



THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE FROM THE 

 EARLIEST TIMES TO THE ROYAL INJUNCTIONS OF 

 1535, by JAMES BASS MULLINGER, M.A. Demy Svo. (734 pp.), i2s. 



&quot;We trust Mr Mullinger will yet continue 

 his history and bring it down to our own day.&quot; 

 A cademy. 



&quot; He has brought together a mass of in 

 structive details respecting the rise and pro 

 gress, not only of his own University, but of 

 all the principal Universities of the Middle 

 Ages . . . We hope some day that he may con 



tinue his labours, and give us a history of the 

 University during the troublous times of the 

 Reformation and the Civil War.&quot; Atlun&um. 

 &quot; Mr Mullinger s work is one of great learn 

 ing and research, which can hardly fail to 

 become a standard book of reference on the 

 subject . . . We can most strongly recommend 

 this book to our readers.&quot; Spectator.
