" A book extraordinary for its learning and impartiality, and for its just and liberal views of 

 the times it describes. The best compliment that can be paid to Mr. Ranke, is, that each side 

 has accused hini of partiality to its opponent ; the German Protestants complaining that his 

 work is written in too Catholic a spirit ; — the Catholics declaring, that generally impartial as he 

 b, it is clear to perceive the Protestant tendency of the history." — London Times.

" Few modern writer.^ possess such qualifications for doing justice to so great a subject as Leopold Ranke. 

 Indefatifahlein exertions, he revels in the toil of examining archives and state papers; honest in purpose, 

 he shapes his theories from evidence; not like D'Aubigne, whose romance of the Reformation selects evi- 

 dence to support preconceived theory. Rank6 never forgets the statesman in the theologian, or the historian 

 in the partisan." — .^ifienirum. 



This book will conclude the series of Professor Rank^'a valuable historical works. 



A HISTORY OF THE HUGUENOTS: 



A NEW EDITION, CONTINUED TO THE PRESENT TIME. 



BY W. S. BROWNING. 



The object of this work is to give a clear detail of the circumstances connected with the toubles 

 generally called ihe Religious wars of France. Those events are interwoven with our own his- 

 tory, and are frequently referred to in the present time. Among the many works which relate to 

 the Huguenots, there is scarcely one that comprises the whole in a connected narrative; and not 

 one, in the English language at least, which is exclusively historical, and divested of all theological 

 discussion. In the present edition, the progresis of events is traced to the present time, comprehend- 

 ing the fullest account as yet given of the tragical proceedings at Nismes, on the restoration of the 

 Bourbons in 1815. 



MEMOIRS OF THE REIGN OF KING GEORGE THE THIRD: 



BY HORACE WALPOLE, 



YOUNGEST SON OF SIR ROBERT WALPOLE, EARL OF ORFORD. 



Now first published from the orlf{lnal MSS. 



EDITED, WITH NOTES, BY SIR DENIS LE MARCHANT, BART. 



"These M(!moirs comprise the first twelve years of the reign of George the Third, and close the his- 

 torical works of Horace VValpole. ' Of their merits,' to use the words of Lord Holland, ' it would be impro- 

 pt>r to enlarge upon in this place. That they contain much curious and original infoiniation, will not be 

 disputed.' In common with the memoirs of George the Second, they treat of a part of our annals must im- 

 perfectly known to us, with the decided advantage of the period being one marked with events of a deeper 

 interest, and more congenial in their character and bearings with those which have since engaged and still 

 occupy our attention."— Prr/arc of the Editor
