“A valuable monograph.”—Scotsman.

"It evinces much scholarly intelligence, and critical acumen as to chronology."-Western Times.

"We commend it to our readers as a most attractive example of historical criticism,-exhaustive in minute research, clear in exposition, and generous to those whose conclusions are set aside. We value this treatise

not only for its correction of some important historical errors, but especially for its revealing the rare talent which the noble author possesses so largely for investigation of obscure and difficult historical subjects, and not less for the hope which it creates of great future usefulness and distinction."Western Standard.
