Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Holy Roman Empire
The book has been revised throughout: statements which seemed to have been too broadly expressed, or which political changes have made no longer true, have been corrected: more exact references have been given and new illustrations inserted in the notes. I have to acknowledge with cordial thanks the help which in the verification Of statements and references I have received from my friend Mr. Ernest Barker, lecturer on history at Wadham College, Oxford.
Did custom permit the dedication to any one Of a new edition Of a book long before the public, I should have dedicated the pages that follow to Mr. Goldwin Smith, now the honoured patriarch Of English historians, from whom forty-three years ago, when he was professor at Oxford, I received my first lessons in modern history, and whose friendship I have ever since been privileged to enjoy.
