Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genesis of Lancaster, or the Three Reigns of Edward II, Edward III, and Richard II, 1307-1399, Vol. 1 With these two volumes I offer the fifth and last instalment of my work. I hope that it may be found as useful, and meet with as friendly a reception as the previous issues. I claim at any rate to have laid before the public a fully-referenced general history of England, from the earliest times to the accession of the House of Tudor. Till now a work of that description could only be found in a foreign tongue; a general history, I say, ' because for internalaffairs the Constitutional History of Bishop Stubbs stands alone. My obligations to him will be found to be acknowledged at every step, with a frank ness that has not always been shown by those who have borrowed his ideas. My work, however, like his, may lay claim to the advantage of being the product of one single pen, on a consistent and uniform plan throughout, Without incongruity of theories, or overlapping of matter. The writer having had the whole story through his hands can take a comprehensive survey, and lead the reader back wards or forwards, as the case may be, for contrast or comparison, better than one whose attention has been concentrated on a single reign or epoch.
