Tho Tudors.

Until a very recent date historical teachers
were more than willing to let the Tudor
period in English history alone. There was
plenty to be said about the older history
down to Bosworth field and Richard Ill;
and even the eminent W Stubbs was content
to stop there. There was plenty more to be
said about the Stuarts and Clarendon's
Great Rebellion" and all that has followed
from that. But the Tudors were left care
fully alone, so We for the story Of Henry VIII 8

side Of Elizabeths reign. The publication OF
state papers has changed the face of affairs
somewhat, and into the path broken by Mr..

three Tudor histories have come to us at
once. There is no Hallam among them, no

Mr.. Arthur D. Innes (Methuen Il Co.:

set edited by Prof. c. W. c. Oman. The
author is fully awake to the fact that the
political, social and economic changes in
England during the period were even more
important than religious matters and than
the efflorescence of literature, and he shows
this in his sober narrative. This NAV not
be brilliant but it sticks close to the latest
ascertained facts and will serve as a guide
through period that has been made need
lessly complicated. There is an over
abundance, Perhaps, Of the personal affairs
