Excerpt from The Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 3: The Wars of ReligionAmong the chapters included in it we are fortunately able to print two, contributed by two eminent historians, whose loss we, in common with all British historical students, deeply deplore. The chapter by the late Mr T. G. Law had the benefit of his own revision, such was not the case with the contribution of the late Professor S. R. Gardiner, one of the earliest received in the course of our undertaking.It is the intention of the Syndics of the University Press, after the issue of Vol. XII of this History, to supplement its narrative by the publication of a volume of Maps, and by that of another volume containing Genealogies and other auxiliary information, with a General Index to the entire work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
