So much by way of preface. I will now proceed, first, to examine afresh 'the key of the position secondly, to examine the passage of William of Malmesbury Of which Mr. Round considers it to -be a paraphase; and thirdly, to set forth an interpretation of both and of the relation between them. And before doing so I will, for the sake of argument, give away to Mr. Round and the Quarterly Reviewer two points which I might well contest. (a) I will grant Mr. Round that Wace had William of Malmesbury in his mind when he wrote the crucial passage (although I certainly do not regard this as proved). (b) I will concede to the Quarterly Reviewer that the word escuz in the second place where it occurs in that passage (1. 7 823) stands for literal shields (although I do not consider this either as actually proved yet) 5 Thus I come out into the lists with both hands tied behind me - my right hand out Of consideration to Mr. Round and my left hand out Of consideration to the Quarterly Reviewer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1904, Vol. 19 It is in vain that we look through the meagre official records that have survived23 for reference to this far inland traffic of the colonists. They deal in the briefest manner only with the most necessary details of administration. The almost unintentional allusions to this traffic, however, in the two curiously interesting Sloane manuscripts 24 not only furnish proof that it existed during a period of at least forty years before 1665, but also, When read in the light thrown upon them by the statement Of Acuna, afford reasonable evidence for supposing that its existence was continuous.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1920, Vol. 35 The brotherhood was founded by Gerhard Groot at Deventer about 1380; it was inspired by the true spirit of mysticism (a feeling which found its best home in the middle ages) and by the idea of brotherhood which had wrought so many revivals in the same Burgundian lands. From the days of Gerhard onwards love of the Scriptures and of the Fathers - shown by the constant copying of manuscripts - was a special feature of its work. Another was the education of the young. Not only at Deventer but also at 's Hertogenbosch (bois-le-duc), where Erasmus was afterwards for two years, and at Stein near Gouda, had they some of their celebrated schools. So great was their success that in some places even the girls sang Latin songs in the streets. Nor were their methods dry the classics themselves were placed in the hands of their pupils, and this was specially done by Alexander Hegins at Deventer. Latin they had conquered and towards Greek they advanced. In the Netherlands and not in Italy is to be sought the true birthplace of the German Renaissance, which was not artistic, was certainly not pagan, but was from first to last practical and educational in its aims, keeping through out in close touch with theology. If on the side of mysticism it brought forth Thomas a Kempis,2 on the side of learning it brought forth Rudolph Agricola.

It occurs on an agate seal preserved at the Hague, which was first explained by Hommel, and which reads, Gudea, patesi of Shirpurla, and Gin umun pa ud du his wife.' The latter name means Maiden of Marduk, ' or of the planet Jupiter.31 Hommel and Radau read the name simply gin-dun pa ud da.

This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1899, Vol. 14 The life of Erasmus has two sides. His biographers represent him as one engaged in correspondence with the leading men of Europe, and historians are accustomed to denounce his weak ness in not taking a side. Even the most friendly hint that at any rate he was not the stuff of which martyrs are made. Such critics completely misunderstand him. We must remember that his public life was not the principal work on which he was engaged. His most arduous labours were expended on books which many of his biographers hardly mention. It is perfectly true that his name was afiixed to editions of the fathers, to which his contribution was slight but an historian of learning must remember that during the years in which he was rebuking Luther for his violence, and the monks for their ignorance, he was laying the foundation of an historical study of Christianity, helping in editions of the fathers, contributing prefaces and criticisms, -distinguishing between the false and the genuine, hoping that the gradual spread of true religion and sound learning might extinguish, by the subtle process of intellectual influence, the barbarous errors of the schoolmen and the violent half-truths of the protestants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1886, Vol. 1: Published Quarterly Ranke has not only written a larger number of mostly excellent books than any man that ever lived, but he has taken pains from the first to explain how the thing is done. He attained a position unparalleled in literature, less by the display of extraordinary faculties than by perfect mastery of the secret of his craft, and that secret he has always made it his business to impart. For his most eminent predecessors, history was applied politics, fluid law, religion exemplified, or the school of patriotism. Ranke was the first German to pursue it for no purpose but its own. He tried to make the generality of educated men understand how it came about that the world of the fifteenth century was changed into the Europe of the nineteenth. His own definite persuasions regarding church and king were not suffered to permeate his books. It was merito rions in Boeckh, but not heroic, to contain his feelings about the Attic treasure and the setting of Arcturus; but Ranke was con cerned with all the materials of abiding conflict, with every cause for which he cared and men are willing to kill or die. He expects no professional knowledge in his readers, and never writes for specialists. He seldom probes to the bottom the problems of public life and the characters of men, and passes dryshod over much that is in dispute. As he writes history, not biography, he abstains from the secrets of private life; and as he writes history, not dogma, he never sorts men into black and white according to their hearing in vital controversies. His evildoers escape the just rigour of the law, and he avoids hero-worship as the last ditch of prehistoric prejudice. He touches lightly on matters pertaining to the jurist and divine, but he has not their exclusiveness. His surface is more level than theirs, but his horizon is wider. The cup is not drained; part of the story is left untold; and the world is much better and very much worse than he chooses to say.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1889, Vol. 4 In 1778 - just a hundred years ago - Lord Mansfield vacated the office of chief justice. His lordship had characterised Erskine's advocacy of freedom as puerile rant and declamation but Erskine's theories were destined to triumph within but a very short period. Rejected by Lord Mansfield, they were accepted by Lord Kenyon, a chief justice of a different and more enlightened type. Pitt and Fox alike admitted the force of the reformer's arguments, and it was Fox himself who in 1791 abandoned his previous attitude, and introduced his famous bill to amend the law of libel. Postponed for a time, through the action of Lord Thurlow, it was brought forward again in the following year, and, despite renewed opposi tion, passed into law.
