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.

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.

All the principal traits of this picture are certainly correct; and they are borne out not only by the corroborating testimony of other contemporaries, but also to a greater extent by its marked internal fidelity to life.32 There are portraits of which we feel at the first glance, without knowing the living originals.

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, 1896, Vol. 11 N evertheless it must be admitted that there is really no sort of necessity to find so studious a motive for such a fairy tale as this of the pseudo-callisthenes. Really nothing more is required than the natural decay of that famous pretence, promulgated devoutly by Alexander's successors, if not by himself, that he was son of Ammon. In the centuries of little faith, that immediately preceded and fol lowed the Christian era, no one believed much in deities, but every one believed in magic. For what once gods did directly human agents came to be preferred, and the last Egyptian Pharaoh took inevitably the place of the Egyptian god. Nectanebo may have won already a place in folklore, if not by the merits of his reign, at least by the strange and sudden ending of it but, after all, the popular mind under the early Empire needed only to be assured that he was an Egyptian to accord him also the credit of being a magician.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, Vol. 36 Fifteen years ago, on 15 December 1905, Mr. R. L. Poole was entertained at a dinner in the hall of Balliol College to celebrate the completion of twenty years of this Review. In a speech in reply to the principal toast, he described the origin of the Review and its history up to that time, and, now that his long and distinguished editorship has come to an end, he has consented to the publication of part of this speech. It has been thought best to omit the more intimate and personal passages, but, except for a small addition to one of the quotations, the account of the beginnings which here follows is otherwise the same that was then given. The sketch of the history after the publication of the first number has not been added, because it would now appear only as an incomplete fragment. In the course of the speech, Mr. Poole said: 'We have published eighty numbers of the Review... Of these Mr. Creighton was editor of twenty-two, Mr. Gardiner of fourteen, Mr. Gardiner and I were jointly responsible for twenty-five; and I by myself can only take credit for seventeen.' Now the last figure would have to be raised to seventy-nine. As I began by saying, I want to speak not of myself but of the Review, for that is the real subject which we are celebrating, though it has to use me as a mouthpiece. I am going to ask you to listen while I tell you how the Review came into existence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1919, Vol. 34 Dr. Levison, who more recently edited the Life, thought Dr. Wells too severe,3 but it deserves attention that on some of the vital points in which Eddi and Bede disagree, he accepts the evidence of Bede.4 Dr. Wells sought, as far as possible, to avoid the controversial features in the discussion in the present article I do not propose to Shirk them, and while in many par ticulars I am unable to follow Dr. Wells, I think his judgement errs on the side of leniency. But before coming to the more difficult questions I will take a couple of examples to illustrate Eddi's mode of treatment in regions unconnected with the crucial problems in Wilfrid's biography.
