Excerpt from Historical Essays The following essays have been chosen out of a much larger number which have appeared in various periodical works. The principle on which they were chosen was that of selecting papers which referred to comparatively modern times, or, at least, to the existing states and nations of Europe. It is by a sort of accident that a large number of the pieces chosen have thrown themselves into something like a continuous series bearing on the historical causes of the great events of the last and the present year. in revising the essays, I have commonly let passages referring to the state of European politics ten or fifteen years back stand as they were written at first, merely adding a note whenever a note seemed to be called for. I have done the same whenever change of circumstances or increase of knowledge on my own part has led me to change my views on any point. But whenever I could gain in accuracy of statement or in force or clearness of expression, I have freely changed, added to, or left out, what i wrote in the first instance. To many of these essays i have added a short notice of the circumstances under which they were written. I have to thank Messrs. Longman for allowing me to reprint the essay which stands second in the series, the only one among several contributions of mine to the Edinburgh Review which seemed to come within the scope of the present volume.

Excerpt from Literary and Historical Essays IN this volume I have endeavoured to do for thomas davis what I once hoped to see him do for himself - to gather together such of his historical and literary Miscellanies as were mainly devoted to the illustration of Ireland. I have done so with care and reverence, and I believe they will be found to make a rich and suggestive book, and one with a true soul in it. In selecting them I kept in view - as I know he would have desired - not fame for the dead, but usefulness to the living.

Excerpt from Historical Essays and Studies The elevation of his rival, the King of Spain, suddenly raised England to an important position in the politics of Europe. An auction began, at which Francis I. Sought to purchase her friendship with gold; whilst Charles V. Not only Offered the same sums as his competitor, but increase of territory at his competitor's expense. France was still our hereditary enemy. England remembered that an English King had been crowned in the French capital and Calais was an irritating memorial of the lost inheritance, and of conquests that had ended in defeat. The nation adopted with joy the alliance with the House of Burgundy, and Parliament voted supplies for war against France.

Excerpt from Blunders and Forgeries: Historical Essays There is a well-known saying attributed to a great scholar: Verify your quotations. Quotations must not only be verified, but traced to their origin. The last Essay in this volume will show that writers of our own day, who take pride in accuracy, are perpetuating old calumnies because, while thev verify the correctness of their quotations from Strype, they are content to take on trust the references of Strype himself. A second rule, not less important to the historical or theological student, is: Consult. There is no such folly, writes Mr. Mozley, no such cause of utter breakdown and disgrace, as the silly pride of doing things quite by oneself, without assistance.1 In addition, then, to the various historical points recorded in my Index, there is a general maxim enforced throughout these Essays, and which is one of charity as well as of accuracy, a maxim I would willingly have printed on my title-page: consult and verify, verify and consult.
