About This Book

The biography traces the career of a rising Tudor churchman who became the king's chief minister, detailing his accumulation of power and administrative reforms. It follows his foreign policy as a mediator among France, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Papacy, describing alliances, treaties, and spectacular diplomatic events such as meetings and conferences. It examines domestic initiatives, financial administration, legal and ecclesiastical activities, and the tensions these created with the nobility and court factions. It recounts the crisis over the royal divorce, the erosion of royal favor, and his eventual political fall. It concludes with an assessment of his achievements and limitations, weighing practical successes against the ambitions and unintended consequences of his chosen policy.

BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

HISTORY OF ROME. By Rev. M. Creighton, M.A. of Oxford and Cambridge, D.C.L. of Durham, LL.D. of Glasgow and Harvard. With Maps. Eleventh Edition. Pott 8vo. 1s. [Literature Primers.]

SATURDAY REVIEW.—"Mr. Creighton is constantly stopping to gather up the threads into his reader's hands, to mark 'noticeable points,' to give systematic little bits of generalisation about causes, and little lists of questions that a boy should bear in mind throughout; and all this is consistently couched in the lenior imperativus of the lecturer.... The book is, as a rule, uniformly good, and far ahead of any small school histories that have appeared before."

ACADEMY.—"Mr. Creighton's 'History of Rome' reminds us once more that, in the matter of historical handbooks at least, we boast to be much better than our fathers. At the outset he touches the right chord by pointing out that the explanation of many important facts in modern Europe is to be sought in the history of old Rome, and he proceeds by a judicious selection of facts to bring into relief those social and political changes which are the true subjects of history. But Mr. Creighton takes care not to fall into the mistake of omitting the tales which have been enjoyed by so many generations, and in spite of his cramped space he finds room for Cincinnatus at the Plough and the Schoolmaster of Falerii."

SCHOOL BOARD CHRONICLE.—"The author has been curiously successful in telling in this intelligent way the story of Rome from first to last in a rudimentary shilling book of little more than a hundred and twenty pages, with maps, tables, and a brief chronology."

Twelve English Statesmen.

Edited by JOHN MORLEY.
Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d. each.

WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR. By Edward A. Freeman, D.C.L., LL.D.

TIMES.—"Gives with great picturesqueness ... the dramatic incidents of a memorable career far removed from our times and our manner of thinking."

HENRY II. By Mrs. J. R. Green.

TIMES.—"It is delightfully real and readable, and in spite of severe compression has the charm of a mediæval romance."

EDWARD I. By T. F. Tout, M.A., Professor of History, The Owens College, Manchester.

SPEAKER.—"A truer or more life-like picture of the king, the conqueror, the overlord, the duke, has never yet been drawn."

HENRY VII. By James Gairdner.

ATHENÆUM.—"The best account of Henry VII. that has yet appeared."

CARDINAL WOLSEY. By Bishop Creighton, D.D.

SATURDAY REVIEW.—"Is exactly what one of a series of short biographies of English Statesmen ought to be."

ELIZABETH. By E. S. Beesly, M.A.

MANCHESTER GUARDIAN.—"It may be recommended as the best and briefest and most trustworthy of the many books that in this generation have dealt with the life and deeds of that 'bright Occidental Star, Queen Elizabeth of happy memory.'"

OLIVER CROMWELL. By Frederic Harrison.

TIMES.—"Gives a wonderfully vivid picture of events."

WILLIAM III. By H. D. Traill.

SPECTATOR.—"Mr. Traill has done his work well in the limited space at his command. The narrative portion is clear and vivacious, and his criticisms, although sometimes trenchant, are substantially just."

WALPOLE. By John Morley.

ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE.—"It deserves to be read, not only as the work of one of the most prominent politicians of the day, but for its intrinsic merits. It is a clever, thoughtful, and interesting biography."

PITT. By Lord Rosebery.

TIMES.—"Brilliant and fascinating.... The style is terse, masculine, nervous, articulate, and clear; the grasp of circumstance and character is firm, penetrating, luminous, and unprejudiced; the judgment is broad, generous, humane, and scrupulously candid.... It is not only a luminous estimate of Pitt's character and policy; it is also a brilliant gallery of portraits. The portrait of Fox, for example, is a masterpiece."

PEEL. By J. R. Thursfield, M.A.

DAILY NEWS.—"A model of what such a book should be. We can give it no higher praise than to say that it is worthy to rank with Mr. John Morley's Walpole in the same series."

CHATHAM. By Frederic Harrison.

ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE.—"It comes near the model of what such a book should be."
