HENRY III AND THE CHURCH

A Study of his Ecclesiastical Policy and of the
Relations between England and Rome.

"It is written with no desire to defend the Papacy from the charges which were made even by the faithful at the time, and it may fairly claim to represent an unbiassed survey of the evidence. He has gone carefully through a large body of evidence which English historians have too much neglected. His book will be indispensable to the student of the reign of Henry III."—Times.

"This substantial book is beyond doubt a valuable study of the ecclesiastical policy of Henry III and his admirers, and of the relations between England and Rome. The whole of the chapters on this exceptionally interesting half-century of English history, when the relationships of Church and State were sorely tried, are written in a spirit of admirable calmness and fairness of citation, nothing apparently of importance being kept back on one side or the other of the questions that come under discussion. … A trustworthy contribution to the story of this long reign on the very points upon which most historians are either silent or provokingly brief."—Athenæum.

THE EVE OF THE REFORMATION

Studies in the Religious Life and Thought of the
English People in the period preceding the
Rejection of the Roman Jurisdiction
by Henry VIII

"We can only rejoice that this cheap reissue of one of the most valuable contributions (as common consent has proclaimed it) to the history of the great religious change in the sixteenth century will spread the light among numerous readers to whom it has hitherto been unknown. Of such historians as Abbot Gasquet the cause of historic truth can never have too many."—Pall Mall Gazette.
