Excerpt from Lectures on Medieval Church History: Being the Substance of Lectures Delivered at Queen's College, London I delivered a good many years ago, and more times than one, courses of Lectures on Church History to a class of girls, at Queen's College, London. One course dealt with Early Church History, another with Modern, and between these was one on Medieval. This last course has constituted the groundwork of the present volume, published by request of hearers, but those hearers, as I must acknowledge, my own daughters. I had intended at the first to do no more than print the Lectures as delivered, with some slight occasional revision; and certainly had very imperfectly recognized how much more than this would be required. Little by little I became aware that my present estimate of persons and of things was not always what it once had been, that later books demanded to be read, and later knowledge used; not to say, that it was one thing to address a class of young ladies; who, however little one might know oneself upon a subject, were tolerably sure to know less; and another, to lay oneself open to the criticism of all comers. It has followed that much has been re-written, something withdrawn, not a little added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Byzantine History in the Early Middle Ages: The Rede Lecture, Delivered in the Senate House, Cambridge, June 12, 1900 In one of the most suggestive of his essays, Professor Freeman calls the Roman Empire on the Bosphorus "the surest witness to the unity of history." And Professor Bury, whose great work has done so much to develop that truth, insists that the old Roman Empire did not cease to exist until the year 1453, when Mohammed the Conqueror stormed Constantinople. The line of Roman emperors, he says, "continued in unbroken succession from Octavius Augustus to Constantine Palaeologus." Since George Finlay, nearly fifty years ago, first urged this truth on public attention, all competent historians have recognised the continuity of the civilisation which Constantine seated on the Golden Horn; and they have done justice to its many services to the West as well as to the East. But the nature of that continuity, the extent of these services, are still but dimly understood by the general public. Prejudice, bigotry, and rhetoric have done much to warp the popular conception of one of the chief keys to general history.

Excerpt from The World in the Middle Ages: An Historical Geography In introducing a new Work to the Public, it is expected that some account should be given of its inception, design, scope, and prosecution. Whilst delivering a course of lectures two years since in Providence, on Mediaeval History, I found no geographical work in English Literature, illustrating that period to which I could refer. This want suggested the present work. The Geography of the Ancient World presents no such deficiency, having been elucidated since the seventeenth century by the master-minds of Cellarius, Cluverius, Danville, and still more recently by Rennel, Mannert, Heeren, Uckert, and others. Much light has also been thrown on the remote ages of civilization by the late philological discoveries in Egypt and Persia, and the excavations of Nineveh. Yet the no less important period of the Middle Ages, though so thoroughly investigated by the modern Historian, has still remained comparatively neglected by the Geographer. Mediaeval Atlases have been published by C. Kruse (translated into French by Felix Ansart) and by Charles Spruner; but these being defective in letter-press, containing only scanty notes, and mere dry, historical tables, leave the student to depend on his own resources in the explanation of the maps. Thus no general comprehensive Geography, embracing the mediaeval times down to the close of the fifteenth century, has yet appeared to supply the want which must be felt by every student of Gibbon, Hallam, Sismondi, Guizot, and the other numerous writers treating of that era. It occurred to me, therefore, that my collectanea, made during my long residence in Italy and Greece, together with my notes of travel in the East - partly embodied in my Providence Lectures - might furnish me with ample materials for the composition of a work which would supply, at least in part, the wants of the student of Mediaeval History. Having met with encouragement from my publishers, the idea has been carried out, and I now offer to the public the "World in the Middle Ages." I have attempted to present an accurate geographical description of the world during the different periods of time from the ultimate division of the Roman Empire at the death of Theodosius the Great, A.D. 395, down to the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in the East, and the discovery of America in the West. That the dry details of Geography might not become tedious, I have occasionally introduced personal sketches, and notices of mediaeval institutions, with side-glances at the religions, languages, and literatures of the different nations. I have endeavored likewise to give that prominence to the Scandinavians, the Sclavonians, Tartars, and other Eastern tribes which their important influence on history demands; but which hitherto has been denied them. In the Geography of Ecclesiastical History, I have followed Rev. John E. Wiltsch. I have entered into more than usual detail on the Byzantine Empire, Greece, and the Eastern States, both with the hope of illustrating the brilliant pages of Gibbon and the Chroniclers of the Crusades; and in view of the important part which these Countries are about to act in the present crisis that seems to threaten the entire political system of Europe. I am indebted for the selection of my maps, to Professor George W. Greene's translation of Dr. Spruner's great Historical Atlas. For my authorities, I refer the reader to the footnotes, and the list of authors on the closing page of the Work. I have also carefully compiled Historical and Geographical Indices, referring to the number of the paragraph in every instance where the name occurs. I would ask the kind forbearance of the Public with regard to some occasional foreign expressions or turns of thought, which possibly may betray the author as a Dane. If this, my first attempt in ."

Excerpt from Seventeen Lectures on the Study of Medieval and Modern History and Kindred Subjects: Delivered at Oxford, Under Statutory Obligation in the Years 1867 1884 If I were asked what is my reason for printing these lectures, I might be at a loss for an answer. They are not printed by request, or because they seem to me worthy to be preserved, or because they are likely to be useful reading, or because they supply a want. It may be that they owe their present form to the fact that the love of correcting proof-sheets has become a leading passion with the author. Some part of the volume may be readable, some part useful: it may be that the useful part is hard reading, and the readable part trifling, but I will give myself, unphilosophic as it may be, the benefit of a doubt. The lectures were written under the pressure of statutory compulsion, and against the grain. I know, by sad experience, how often the best lecture, the best sermon on which I have most prided myself - eloquent, lucid, learned, logical, - has gone the way of all fireworks. There is a chance that something may be said for work elicited by forcible pressure, under weariness and vexation, against stress of time, under statutory obligation and a conscientious sense of duty. The statute under which these lectures were delivered was a burdensome statute to me; it would not be so to every professor, but the discomforts of working under it could only be explained by experience: and the statute itself is now a thing of the past.

Excerpt from The Thirteenth Greatest of Centuries The object of the book is to interpret, in terms that will be readily intelligible to this generation, the life and concerns of the people of a century who, to the author's mind, have done more for human progress than those of any like period in human history. There are few whose eyes are now holden as they used to be, as to the surpassing place in the history of culture of the last three centuries of the Middle Ages. Personally the author is convinced, however, that only a beginning of proper appreciation has come as yet, and he feels that the solution of many problems that are vexing the modern world, especially in the social order, are to be found in these much misunderstood ages, and above all in that culmination of medieval progress - the period from 1200 to 1300. The subject was originally taken up as a series of lectures in the extension course of the Catholic Summer School, as given each year in Lent and Advent at the Catholic Club, New York City. Portions of the material were subsequently used in lectures in many cities in this country from Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore., St. Paul, Minn., to New Orleans, La. The subject was treated in extenso for the Brooklyn Institute Of Arts and Sciences in 1906, after which publication was suggested.

Excerpt from Lectures on Early English History This collection of Lectures, delivered at various times by Bishop Stubbs, will prove a valuable addition to our authorities for Early English History. The Constitution under the Early English and Norman Kings is described very clearly, and the full explanations given of the technical terms which are used in the Laws and Charters of the Norman Kings are a very noticeable feature in many of the Lectures. All students of Stubbs's Select Charters will find in many of these Lectures elucidations of passages which have hitherto pre sented great difficulty. It is not too much to say that for the first time historians have been presented with a full commentary upon the most difficult portions of the Select Charters.'

Excerpt from Germany in the Early Middle Ages, 476-1250 The absence Of satisfactory histories Of Germany in the English language is as keenly felt now as it was when Bishop Stubbs was Regius Professor Of Modern History at Oxford. The present volume originated in a series Of Lectures delivered in Oxford, and form a very striking sketch Of the history Of Germany from the days Of Clovis to the thirteenth century. The reader will at once recog nise that each chapter bears the impress Of a master hand, and is written by one whose knowledge Of the subject was profound. Being originally composed in the form of lectures, the chapters are so arranged as to prove attractive to the general reader, while the student will recognise that he has presented to him the results Of laborious investigation and Of a very intimate know ledge Of the history Of Germany. The character Of each German monarch is sketched with that skill and accuracy which is so remarkable a feature Of Bishop Stubbs' historical writings. TO many who associate the name Of Bishop Stubbs with English History, it may be a surprise to find that he was as conversant with the history, political and constitutional, of Germany as he was with that Of the British Isles.
