Mr. Froude has shown in his admirable history what new results may be de- 

 rived, even in the most beaten track, from a thorough investigation of the 

 original authorities. His researches have thrown a flood of light over the per- 

 sonal character of Henry the Eighth and his relation to the great event of 

 modern history, the Reformation of Religion in Europe and the British Isles, 

 that it would be in vain to seek elsewhere. His views often run counter to 

 received opinions, but they are always supported by a weight of evidence and 

 a classic polish of style that place him high in the rank of modern historians. 



The work has received the most favorable notices from the leading English 

 journals, and has already passed through four editions in England. The vast 

 amount of fresh and authentic materials which the author has brought to bear 

 on the periods of which he writes, give his work an interest and value beyond 

 any previous history of the same events. 



" We read these volumes with the pleasure derived from interesting materials 

 worked up in an attractive form." Edinburyli Review. 



" The style is excellent ; sound, honest, forcible, singularly perspicuous Eng- 

 lish ; at times with a sort of picturesque simplicity, pictur !i with 



only a few touches, but perfectly alive. . . . Y\'e have never to read a pus- 

 sage twice. . . . We see the course of events day by day, not only the 

 more serious and important communications, but the gossip of the hour. . . 



". . . If truth and vivid reality be the perfection of history, much is to be 

 said in favor of this mode of composition." London Quarterly.
