About this book

Essays and lectures by the historian James Anthony Froude fill this volume, here in its second edition of 1867. It opens with The Science of History, a Royal Institution lecture of February 1864 that asks how far history can be called a science and recalls Henry Thomas Buckle, whose name was tied to that idea. Later pieces treat Erasmus and Luther, the Reformation's effect on the Scots, Spinoza, the Book of Job, Homer, the dissolution of the monasteries and the lives of the saints. Near the end come pieces on Reynard the Fox, the four-part Cat's Pilgrimage, two fables and a parable.
