Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Reign of Henry VIII, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Accession to the Death of Wolsey, Reviewed and Illustrated From Original Documents The work here laid before the public in a collected form consists of four different treatise, which were originally published as prefaces to the four volumes of "Letters and Papers of the Reign of Henry VIII.," edited by Professor Brewer for the Master of the Bolls. Like the other "Calendars" of the Rolls Series, that work is addressed to a comparatively limited public, and the ordinary reader cannot be expected to give much attention to the ponderous volumes in which it is contained. Yet there is but one opinion among those who have read these prefaces, not only of their high value to the historical student, but also of their very great interest as literary compositions; and these considerations made it desirable to bring them together in a form more convenient than that in which they originally appeared. Application was accordingly made to the Lords of the Treasury, who, on careful consideration of the case, consented to their being republished separately, on condition that it should be here stated "that the Prefaces have no official character or authority, and that their republication is permitted at the urgent request of the friends of Professor Brewer, on account of their literary interest." It was said by some, when these Calendars first appeared, that Professor Brewer had set himself to write a history of the reign of Henry VIII. He himself did not entertain such an exalted opinion of his performance; and in one place he distinctly says, "It is not my business to write history, but to show the bearings of these new materials upon history."
