Abstract
MR ELTON'S work will at once take the place it deserves. It will be welcomed by the many students who have been long waiting for such a treatise on our country as it was during, the ages lying just outside the broad daylight of history. The subject, with all the new resources of archæology and philology which have been brought to bear upon it, still presents a set of problems full of doubt and difficulty; but it will be seen that Mr. Elton's task has been not merely to bring these problems into shape, but to advance them by investigations of his own.
