THE LIFE OF ST. PATRICK

AND HIS PLACE IN
IN HISTORY

BY PROF. J. B. BURY, M.A., LL.D.

8vo. I2s. net.

ATHENÆUM.-"A life of St. Patrick in which careful and minute research has not quenched a bold and vivid imagination. . . In no book have we found more ingenuity in probing for historic truth amid a cloud of absurdities, and such weighing of evidences as the appendix offers seems to us a model of acuteness in conjectural criticism."

TIMES.-"A book which any layman may read with interest and which every student of the period will read with attention and admiration."

WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.-"We need not say more than it is worthy of the successor of Lord Acton."

DAILY GRAPHIC.-" Not Irishmen only, but scholars of whatever nationality, will be grateful to Professor Bury for having written 'St. Patrick's' life so carefully, so exhaustively, with such acute critical acumen, and such a startling abundance of learning.

DAILY TELEGRAPH.-" Professor Bury has achieved success in an exceedingly difficult task. He has given form and distinctness to one of the most intangible figures in history."

THE MAKING OF IRELAND AND ITS UNDOING, 1200-1600

BY ALICE STOPFORD GREEN

With Map. Second Edition. 8vo. IOS. net.

[ocr errors]

TIMES.-"A book of great interest and permanent value. Mrs. Green has accumulated a mass of information of very great importance, and has contrived to invest what might easily become a mere catalogue of extracts from calendars of State Papers with a charm and romance which must fascinate all readers who do not object to a very obvious political bias. For Mrs. Green writes as an Irish woman.

DAILY TELEGRAPH.-"From whatever point of view it is regarded, this study of the making and unmaking of Ireland is a notable piece of work, based upon much industrious and personal research, and likely to prove of permanent importance to the historians to come."

DAILY NEWS.-" No more brilliant and significant book of Irish history has ever been written than this volume, in which the social, industrial, and intellectual life of medieval Ireland is made to pass before us in all the freshness and vividness of reality."

NATION." Mrs. Green possesses all the qualities which a historian needs. She has the faculty of research, without which history cannot be written, and the faculty of style, without which it will not be read. In The Making of Ireland and its Undoing, these qualities, rarely to be met with in a single person, are combined. She has written a great book, vindicating the character and genius of her nation, and recording home truths for those who have eyes to read and minds to learn."
