readily seen that one of the principal objects aimed at by the author, has been to bring prominently forward the early intercourse which existed between England and Germany; while he has endeavoured con amore to illustrate some of the sources and channels through which the history and social progress of our own country have been modified and influenced by the German element. The value of the present translation has been much increased by the careful supervision of the learned author, whose accurate knowledge of English has enabled him to suggest many important emendations. The following is a list, drawn up by Dr. Pauli himself, of the various authorities which he has consulted in the composition of the several chapters : CHAPTER I.-Historical Memorials of Canterbury, by A. P. Stanley, London, 1855. Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, a Biography, by J. C. Robertson. London, 1860. II. Chronica Jocelini de Brakelonda, Camden Society, 1840.
