The history of Roman Britain has never yet been treated popularly apart from other history, nor has the information derived from earlier writers been gathered into one volume in a simple form.<br><br>Horsley's famous work, the "Britannia Romana," though accurate, learned, and well arranged, is too cumbrous and difficult for ordinary readers, not to mention the many discoveries which have been made since he wrote it, now 150 years ago.<br><br>The "Monumenta Historica Britannica," published by the Record Commission in 1848, contains most valuable matter, but is not confined to Roman history, nor does it contain a perfect summary of all that is known, as much has been found both in the way of inscriptions and coins since its first appearance.
The Annals of IrelandTranslated from the Original Irish of the Four Masters
The Annals of the Four Masters being now published for the first time, there are some particular points which require explanation. The copy from which this translation has been made, has been accurately compared with that in the possession of Sir William Betham, which was transcribed by the translator from the original autograph Ms. in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy, and is therefore perfectly authentic. Mr. Connellan the translator was eminently qualified for his arduous task, being one of the best Irish Scholars of the present day, having extensive experience in transcribing and translating ancient Irish Mss. for a period of more than twenty years, and had the honor of being appointed Irish Historiographer to their late Majesties George IV. and William IV. in the Royal Irish Academy. The copious Annotations to the Annals have been compiled by Philip Mac Dermott, Esq., M.D., assisted by Mr. Connellan, with valuable materials from the library of Sir WiUiam Betham. These Annotations are admitted to contain extensive and accurate information on Irish History and Antiquities; and, together with the translation, have stood, and will be found to stand the test of learned and candid criticism. In a work published in Numbers as these Annals have been, it was difficult to arrange the materials given in the historical and topographical Notes, which have no immediate reference to the text, as it was necessary that each Number should be noted with the matter that was prepared at the time, whereas, in a Book brought out all at once, any arrangement can be adopted. Independent of the Annals, the Notes will be found to contain a great mass of materials, and much mteresting and important information, not hitherto published, together with collections from various sources, rare Books and Manuscripts; the whole forming a Compendium of Irish History, from the earliest ages to the English Invasion, vidth continued illustrations, to the end of the Annals in the l7th century, the great object of the present publication being to present to the Irish people as much as possible of their own History, at a moderate cost, and make it accessible to all.
The Cambridge History of English Literature
Preface offered by several distinguished continental scholars by Dr. Richard Wulker of Leipzig, himself eminent alike as a historian of English literature and as a professor of the subject, whose criticisms thus possess a twofold value; by Dr. Cino Chiarmi of Florence, to the continuation of whose most welcome articles in La Cultura we are looking forward; by Professor Albert Feuillerat of Rennes, a literary critic of high reputation on both sides of the Channel, in the Revue de VEnseignement des Langues Vivantes and elsewhere; and by others. The effective support given us in our endeavours to provide a history for both the general reader and the student by the combination of a text abstaining as much as possible from technicalities, with bibliographies as full as possible of matter, has been a source of great encouragement to us in carrying on our task. We are convinced that it is the duty of a university press to endeavour both to meet the highest demands that can be made upon its productions by men of learning and letters, and to enable the many to share in the knowledge acquired by the few. It may interest our readers to know that, by permission of the Syndics of the Press, copies of Professor Manlys chapter on Piers the Plowman, in our second volume, have been circulated among its members by the Early English Text Society the body of scholars best qualified to estimate the importance of this contribution. The offprint is accorhpanied by a few pages of pregnant forewords from the pen of the veteran founder and director of the Society, and by the article on the same subject contributed to Modern Philology in January, 1906, and Dr. Henry Bradleys letter in The Athe ncBum of 21 April, 1906.

The Fall of Feudalism in IrelandOr the Story of the Land League Revolution
In the following pages I tell the story of an Irish movement which sprang without leaders from the peasantry of the country a movement which, despite the mistakes and quarrels of some subsequent political guides, has achieved for Ireland the following among other results: The Land Act of 1881, completely revolutionizing the system of land tenure upheld in Ireland for over two centuries by English rule. An Arrears Act, under which the British Legislature sanctioned a breach of contract in rent oppressive to agricultural tenants in its conditions. Laborers Dwellings Acts, embodying a rational principle of state socialism. The conversion of Mr. Gladstone and the English Liberal party from the rule of Ireland by Dublin Castle and coercion to the framing of a constitution which would confer a Home Rule government upon the Irish people. The conversion of the English Tory party to the Land League plan of land reform of 1880 that the only true solution of the Irish agrarian question was to be found in the purchase of the landlords interest in the land by the tenant, through the means of a state credit loaned at low interest. The passing of the Ashbourne Purchase Act of 1885 (supplemented in1888), and the loan of ;io, ooo, ooo of such credit as a means to this end. The temporary adhesion of noted Tory leaders to the Home Rule idea, in1885-86. The introduction by Mr. Gladstone and his party of a Home Rule bill into Parliament in 1886. The enactment in 1887 by Lord vSalisbury sministry of a land bill which nullified leases, statutory and otherwise, revised more land court rents, and carried other Land League principles into law.
A History of Hindu Civilisation During British Rule
I have attempted in this volume to give some idea of the nature and operation of the influences which have affected the Hindu intellect under British Rule. In doing this, I have indicated, in a general way, how these influences have moulded the modern literature of India. It is my intention to present in the next volume a more complete account of the present intellectual condition of the Hindus as reflected in literature.
The History of Trade Unionism
The publication of the History of Trade Unionism in cheaper form, nearly eight years from the date of its completion, gives us the opportunity of writing a new introductory chapter.<br><br>We make no attempt to bring the history down to the present date. Directly the book was through the press in 1894, we turned to the examination of Trade Union problems, to which our closing paragraph had referred. That work grew upon our hands until it included an analysis, not of Trade Union problems alone, but of almost every phase of the organisation and regulation of labour, Factory Legislation no less than Trade Union Regulations, and finally also a critical examination of the working of machinery of Democracy, and a new exposition of the economics of the wage-contract. Industrial Democracy, as we ventured to call our work, was not published until the end of 1897, and we were thus able to include the principle developments of Trade Unionism down to that year. A new edition, published almost simultaneously with the present volume, has permitted us to add a further introductory chapter, starting briefly our impressions of the latest developments.
The Indian EmpireIts People, History, and Products
This book tries to present, within a small compass, an account of India and her people. The materials on which it is based are condensed from my larger works. In 1869, the Government of India directed me to execute a Statistical Survey of its dominions, a vast enterprise, whose records now make 128 printed volumes, aggregating 60, 000 pages. The scale of the operations, although by no means too elaborate for the administrative purposes for which they were designed, necessarily placed their results beyond the reach of the general public. The hundred volumes of The Statistical Survey were therefore reduced to a more compendious form as the twelve volumes of The Imperial Gazetteer of India. The present kdistils into one volume the essence of the whole. I have elsewhere explained the mechanism by which the materials for the Statistical Survey were collected in each of the 240 Districts, or territorial units, of British India.i Without the help of a multitude of fellowworkers, the present volume could never have been written. It represents the fruit of a long process of continuous condensation. But in again acknowledging my indebtedness to brethren of my Service in India, I wish to specially commemorate the obligations which I also owe to a friend at home. Mr. J.S. Cotton, late Fellow of Queens College, Oxford, has rendered important aid at many stages of the work. See Preface to Volume I. of The Imperial Gazetteer of I idia.
The Industrial History of Modern England
The purpose of this volume is to outline the facts and to interpret the spirit of the economic history of Great Britain in the last hundred and fifty years. The writer believed it to be a useful task to focus within such limits as these a narrative of the social transformation through which the mothercountry of industrialism has passed since the invention of the steam-engine; and, from this, he was led on to an attempt to characterise the period, and the main current of thought which the play of economic forces has provoked. With so vast a subject, and great libraries of undigested evidence challenging attention, it seemed beyond hope to escape all the pitfalls in the way of such an essay. The recent accumulations of statistical material, in particular, must be mastered, their essential results obtained, and the contributory detail then eliminated, like the scaffolding when a building is complete, lest the large outlines be obscured. The writer enjoyed, however, beside the interest of the task, the stimulus of contact with industry and business at several points. Trades translated themselves back out of statistics into terms of flesh and blood.

DxjRiNG the years1901-1904 Dr. Alexander Macfarlane delivered, at Lehigh University, lectures on twenty-five British mathematicians of the nineteenth century. The manuscripts of twenty of these lectures have been found to be almost ready for the printer, although some marginal notes by the author indicate that he had certain additions in view. The editors have felt free to disregard such notes, and they here present ten lectures on ten pure mathematicians in essentially the same form as delivered. In a future volume it is hoped to issue lectures on ten mathematicians whose main work was in physics and astronomy. These lectures were given to audiences composed of students, instructors and townspeople, and each occupied less than an hour in delivery. It should hence not be expected that a lecture can fully treat of all the activities of a mathematician, much less give critical analyses of his work and careful estimates of his influence. It is felt by the editors, however, that the lectures will prove interesting and inspiring to a wide circle of readers who have no acquaintance at first hand with the works of the men who are discussed, while they cannot fail to be of special interest to older readers who have such acquaintance. It should be borne in mind that expressions such as now, recently, ten years ago, etc., belong to the year when a lecture was delivered. On the first page of each lecture will be found the date of its delivery. For six of the portraits given in the frontispiece the editors are indebted to the kindness of Dr. David Eugene Smith, of Teachers College, Columbia University.

The Oxford Student's History of India
The three earlier revisions of this book were directed almost exclusively to the correction of minute inaccuracies, the paging and bulk of the volume remaining unaltered. On this occasion, while the process of minute correction has been continued and possibly completed, the principal purpose of the revision has been different. When the book was first planned, I was requested to make it small and condensed. Now that it has been widely used for six years, experienced teachers ask that the historical facts should be narrated in fuller detail, that the causes of important revolutions should be clearly explained, that the state of society in different periods should be described, that the story of India under the Crown should be told at greater length, that the narrative should be brought down to the present time, that a sketch of the nature of the sources or original authorities should be supplied, and that the number of maps and illustrations should be largely increased. The advantages to be obtained by adopting those suggestions seem to outweigh the evil of increased bulk. A book as highly condensed as the earlier editions were must be rather dry, and omit so much that the truth is apt to be distorted. On the other hand, the writer of a school history should be extremely careful not to overload his pages. Young students should not be burdened with anything like the mass of detail which is proper in a history composed on a large scale. The author has tried to attain the golden mean by complying to a considerable extent with the suggestions offered, while refusing to insert much matter which some people would prefer to include. Special attention has been paid to simplicity of language and the avoidance of difficult words.
