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 presented 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.'
The later Lectures arc upon general subjects connected with Early English History. An account and comparison of Early European Constitutions, and discussions upon the character of the Early Ecclesiastical Systems in Europe, of the origins of the European Land System, and of European Law, represent but a few of the interesting and important topics treated of by the learned writer. The volume closes with an admirable Lecture upon the Beginnings of English Foreign Policy.
In preparing this invaluable collection of treatises for the press, very great difficulty has been experienced in deciphering the manuscript of the Lectures upon 'The Laws and Legislation of the Norman Kings.' In view of the extreme value of these Lectures, it was, however, thought advisable to publish them, oven though some still further revision may be required in a future edition.
