(chapters iv.-vi.), and book ii.; and most of vol. ii.; to which should be added the prefaces by Prof.  Maitland and others to the volumes of the Selden Society.  MAITLAND’S Roman Canon Law in the Church of England (1898) is also of great importance.  For economic history, W.J.  ASHLEY’S Economic History, parts i. and ii.; W. CUNNINGHAM’s Growth of English Industry and Commerce, Early and Middle Ages; VINOGRADOFF’S Villainage in England, S. DOWELL’S History of Taxation (2nd edition), H.

MAKOWER’S The Constitutional History and Constitution of the Church of England (translated from the German).  For academic history, DENIFLE’S Entstehung der Universitaeten des Mittelalters bis 1400, especially pp. 1-40, 237-251 (Oxford) and pp. 367-376 (Cambridge), HAUREAU’S Histoire de la Philosophie scholastique and RASHDALL’S Universities of the Middle Ages, i., 1-74, and ii., part ii.

For some aspects of Edward II.’s reign, STUBBS’S prefaces to Chronicles of Edward I. and Edward II. are of special value.  For Edward III.’s reign, BARNES’s History of Edward III. (1688) is not quite superseded by LONGMAN’S Life and Times of Edward III. (2 vols., 1869), and MACKINNON’S History of Edward III. (1900).  For the Hundred Years’ War, E. DEPREZ’S Preliminaires de la Guerre de Cent Ans (1328-1342) (Bibl. de l’Ecole francaise de Rome, 1902) for diplomatic history, and DENIFLE’s Desolation des Eglises et Monasteres de la France pendant la Guerre de Cent
