Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Early Tudors: Henry VII, Henry VIII
It is hardly necessary to refer to Mr. Fronde's history of Henry VIII., for no one can hope to know the period without reading it diligently. T rue it is that this industrious and most eloquent writer may probably fail in inspiring readers with his own admiration for Henry's actions, which indeed he has of late shown some disposition to reconsider. But, qualify his verdict as we will, we shall still find abundant profit as well as pleasure in reading his great work, especially if we check and perhaps correct his view of some great events by comparing with it Mr. Friedmann's recently published Life of Anne Boleyn, which is full of important information and shows the hand of a master throughout. For Scottish a?'airs Mr. Burton's History of Scotland is all that can be desired.
Lastly, it may be permitted to refer to some very interesting papers on Henry VII. And Henry VIII.
