Times.-"No greater service can be rendered to literature than the republication, in a handsome and attractive form, of works which time and the continued approbation of the world have made classical. The accuracy of Lingard's statements on many points

of controversy, as well as the genial sobriety of his view, is now recognised."

The Tablet.-"No general history of England has appeared which can at all supply the place of Lingard, whose painstaking industry and careful research have dispelled many a popular delusion, whose candour always carries his reader with him, and whose clear and even style is never fatiguing."

Spectator.- -"We are glad to see that the demand for Dr. Lingard's England still continues. Few histories give the reader the same impression of exhaustive study." Dublin Review.-"More than sixty years have gone since the first volume of the first edition was published; many equally pretentious histories have appeared during that space, and have more or less disappeared since, yet Lingard lives-is still a recognised and respected authority."

Scotsman.. -"There is no need, at this time of day, to say anything in vindication of the importance, as a standard work, of Dr. Lingard's History of England.' . . . Its intrinsic merits are very great."

Daily Telegraph.-"True learning, untiring research, a philosophic temper, and the possession of a graphic, pleasing style were the qualities which the author brought to his task, and they are displayed in every chapter of his history."

Note.-This Library Edition is nearly exhausted, the Publisher having only a few sets left for sale.
