Praise for the Print Edition

Every student of Wycliffe’s period must build on Dr. Vaughan’s foundation. He remains the great authority upon the subject, and, as Professor Lechler says, his works must always take a foremost place as the basis of all accurate knowledge of Wycliffe.

—The British Quarterly Review

A work of great learning, interest, and eloquence, and deserves to be read attentively by every student of modern history.

—London Weekly Review

While it will be highly useful to the general reader, it will deserve the attention of the more erudite and curious student. It is much to the author’s praise, that he has devoted a very considerable portion of time and labor to the diligent and unceasing study of the Reformer’s writings in their original copies.

—Athenaum

Mr. Vaughan could not easily have chosen a more important or more impressive subject; nor could he have set about his task in a more business-like and effective way.

—The Eclectic Review
