aspects of history by the following: For legal
history, POLLOCK and MAITLAND’S History of
English Law before the time of Edward I., especially
vol. i., book i. (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. HALL’S Customs
Revenue of England, and, as a collection of materials,
J.E. THOROLD ROGERS’ History of Agriculture
and Prices, vols. i. and ii. For ecclesiastical
history, W.R.W. STEPHENS’S History of
the English Church, 1066-1272; W.W. CAPES’S
History of the English Church in the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Centuries, and F. 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. (Oxford and

OMAN’S History of the Art of War in the Middle
Ages, CLARK’S Mediaeval Military Architecture,
and (above all) J.E. MORRIS’S Welsh
Wars of Edward I. For naval history, NICOLAS’S
History of the Royal Navy, and C. DE LA RONCIERE’S

VIII., GASQUET’S Henry III. and the Church
(1905), BEMONT’S Simon de Montfort, PROTHERO’S

(1872), my Edward I.; GOUGH’S Itinerary

(Heroes of the Nations), and MORRIS’S above-mentioned
Welsh Wars of Edward I. 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is not quite superseded by LONGMAN’S Life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
