The Political Works of James I. 



Edited, with an Introduction, by Charles Howard McIlwain, 

 Professor of History and Government in Harvard Uni- 

 versity, cxi 4- 354 pages. S5.00. 

 " An Englishman may be allowed the remark that the preface is the most 

 admirable contribution to its subject that has been made by an American 

 scholar. It is at every point learned and exact, and it is rarely indeed that it 

 is not convincing. Its main value lies not so much in the appraisal of James's 

 ideas, to which little attention is given, as in the attempt to set them in their 

 historic perspective. . . . Nor must we miss the illuminating appendix upon the 

 political literature of the Tudors."

Norman Institutions. 



By Charles Homer Haskins, Gumey Professor of History 

 and Political Science in Harvard University, xiv + 377 

 pages. $3.25. 

 " The total harvest in what is new and in the prepared material of investi- 

 gation put at the service of later workers in constructive history abundantly 

 justifies the time and labor of the years which have gone to the making of 

 the book." — G. B. Adams in The New Republic. 



" To many readers much of the book's value will lie in the appendices, 

 which give verbatim many of the authorities used, and supply an admirable 

 survey of the documentary evidence ; others will find pleasure in the seven 

 excellent reproductions of Norman charters. Professor Haskins's volume, 

 though it could not be light reading, is a great contribution to learning, and. 

 will rank as one of the chief authorities for the period."

Trade and Navigation between Spain and the Indies in the Time 

 of the Hapsburgs. 

 By Clarence Henry Haring, Assistant Professor of History 

 in Yale University, xxviii + 371 pages. $2.75. 

 " Mr. Haring has produced a treatise which fullj' realizes the promise im- 

 plied in the copious bibliography and in the citations from the various pub- 

 lished collections of documents, as well as from manuscripts which Mr. 

 Haring himself has examined in the Archives of the Indies at Seville and in 

 various libraries at Madrid. The result is a minute, thorough, and compre- 

 hensive work concerning the system of commerce with the Indies under the 

 Hapsburgs, both in its theoretic intention and in its practical working." 

 — F. A. Kirkpatrick in English Historical Review.
