Bohn's Standard Library. 3 vols. small post 8vo, 3s. 6d. each. A HISTORY OF THE POPES DURING THE LAST FOUR CENTURIES. By LEOPOLD VON RANKE. Mrs. Foster's Translation, Revised by G. R. DENNIS, B.A. (LOND.). Also a Thin Paper Edition. Fcp. 8vo. 3 vols. 25. net each. (The York Library.) "Mrs. Foster's translation of Ranke's 'History of the Popes' is so well known and so popular a guide to the intricacies of the Counter-Reformation and the controversies of the eighteenth century, that it is not surprising to see a new edition. In appearance this is a great improvement on the old. Further, Mr. Dennis has revised it throughout, and incorporated all the additions and alterations of the latest German edition. The additions include a very important section on the pontificate of Pio Nono and the Vatican Council, which will greatly enhance the value of this edition." -Athenacum. "Ranke's History of the Popes' needs no recommendation at the present day: and the scholarly labours of Mr. Dennis in preparing the present edition place at the disposal of English readers all the matter contained in the most recent of German editions."-Scottish Historical Review.
