Praise for the Print Edition

The work may rank as perhaps the most successful of professed historical monographs in the language.

—North British Review

It is a work honorable alike to the industry, judgement, learning, and good taste of the author, and we believe it will go down to posterity as a classic work in English history—the book to which the men in days to come will have recourse for full and authentic information respecting the character, the opinions, and the doings of the greatest Englishman of the middle ages.
