 plates. Cloth, $6.00; leather, $7.00. 

 The satisfaction expressed with the first portion 



of this work is in no wise lessened by a perusal of 

 the second volume. We find it characterized by 

 the same fulness of detail and clearness of ex- 

 pression which we had occasion so highly to com- 

 mend in our former notice, and which render it so 

 valuable to the medical jurist. The copious 



tables of cases appended to each division of the 

 subject must have cost the author a prodigious 

 amount of labor and research, but they constitute 

 one of the most valuable features of the book, 

 especially for reference in medico-legal trials.

The width, depth and thoroughness of research 

 which have earned Dr. Lea a high European place 



Inquisition has yet 

 10 side- issues of that 



as the ablest historian the 



found are here applied to some side-ii 



great subject. We have only to say of this volume 



that it worthily complements the author's earlier 



studies in ecclesiastical history. His extensive 



and minute learning, much of it from inedited 



manuscripts in Mexico, appears on every page. 



London Antiquary, Jan. Ih91. 



After attentively reading the work one does not 

 know whether the author is a Catholic, a Protestant 



or a free-thinker. This moderation deprives the 

 indictment of none of its force. The facts and 

 the documents, of which the number and novelty 

 attest a patient erudition, are grouped in luminous 

 order and produce on the reader an effect all the 

 more powerful in that it seems the less designed. 

 When we add that the style is in every way excel- 

 lent, that it is clear, sober and precise, we do full 

 justice to a work which reflects the highest honor 

 on the talents of the writer and on the method of 

 the modern school of history. Revue Critique 

 d'Histoire et de Litterature, Paris, Jan. 1891.

" si?, the breadth and accuracy of his researches 

 among the rarer sources of knowledge, the gravity 

 and temperance of his statements, combined with 



Mr. Lea's curious historical monographs, of 

 which one of the most important is here produced 

 in an enlarged form, have given him a unique 

 position among English and American scholars. 

 He is distinguished for his recondite and affluent 

 learning, his power of exhaustive historical analy- 



singular earnestness of conviction, and his warm 

 attachment to the cause of freedom and intellect- 

 ual progress. JV. Y. Tribune, August 9, 1878.

Studies in Church History. The Rise of the Temporal Power Ben- 

 efit of Clergy Excommunication The Early Church and Slavery. Sec- 

 ond and revised edition. In one royal octavo volume of 605 pages. Cloth, $2.50. 



The author is preeminently a scholar; he takes 

 up every topic allied with the leading theme and 

 traces it out to the minutest detail with a wealth 

 of knowledge and impartiality of treatment that 

 compel admiration. The amount of information 

 compressed into the book is extraordinary, and 

 the profuse citation of authorities And references 

 makes the work particularly valuable, to the student 

 who desires an exhaustive review from original 

 sources. In no other single volume is the develop- 

 ment of the primitive church traced with so much 

 clearness and with so definite a perception of 

 complex or conflicting forces. Boston TrnvtUer. 



Mr. Lea is Jacile prinr.eps among American 

 scholars in the history of the Middle Ages, and, 

 indeed, we know of no European writer who nas 



shown such research, accuracy and grasp in 

 investigating important and out-of-the-way topics 

 connected with th history of Europe in the Mid- 

 dle Ages. N. Y. Times. 



It is some years since we read the first edition 

 of this work by Mr. Lea, and the impression made 

 by it on us at the time is confirmed by reperusa! 

 ol it in this enlarged and improved form ; namely, 

 that it is a book of great research and accuracy, 

 full of varied information on very interesting 

 phases of church life and history. It discusses 

 each subject with a rare fulness of dates and in- 

 stances, and a curious conscientiousness of veri- 

 fication and citation cf authorities. Edinburgh
