Froude's History of England embraces the period from 1529 to 1588. Creighton's Age of Elizabeth is a good short history of Elizabeth's reign. Gairdner and Spedding's Studies in English History, and Ewald's Stories from the State Papers, belong principally to the Tudor and Stuart periods. Robertson's Charles V., Prescott's Ferdinand and Isa- bella, Conquest of Mexico and of Peru, and Philip II., and Motley's Dutch Republic and United Nethe^-lands belong to this period. The history of the Reformation may be best read in Fisher's History of the Peformation and Seebohm's History of the Protestant Revolution. For the Reformation in Eng- land, Dixon's History of the Church of England (very impartial) and Geikie's History of the English Reformation (strongly partisan). See also Baird's Rise of the Huguenots. Macaulay's Essays upon RanJces History of the Popes, Hallam,, and Lord Burleigh ; Miss Aiken's Jlemoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth ; Lives of Raleigh, by Edwards, Creighton, and Towle.

Guizot's series of works contain: 1. Fng- lish Revolution; 2. Oliver Cromwell; 3. Life of. Monk.
