Ebook The Reign of Henry VII From Contemporary Sources

Tury after his death, has recently been described as the only English historical composition worthy of the lineal and literal attention paid to Tacitus and Thucydides. These volumes will serve at least one good purpose by providing general students of history with materials for the reign of Henry VII somewhat more original and contemporary than Bacon's literary Sketch. It is hoped, moreover, that the experiment, if successful, may be extended to other periods and to other countries until the whole field of history is covered with a groundwork of materials available and appropriate for students in university Schools of History.
