Transactions of the Royal Historical Society. Vol. IX. (Printed: for
the Society.)—The Society, which has been reorganised, and seems to have a promising prospect of success in the future, has. here published an interesting volume. Mr. F. G. Fleay, 'working in his own field, gives mach curious information in his paper "On the Actor-Lists, 157S-1612." "The Outline History of the Hanseatic- League" contributes a chapter of some importance to commercial history. Mr. Harris's paper on "Domestic Every-day Life, Manners, and Customs, from the Earliest Period to the End of the Eighteenth Century," need not have given so much quotation from an author so. accessible as Lord Macaulay. Mr. Chapman, writing about the "Persecution under Elizabeth," has not allowed sufficiently for the- attitude of the whole Roman communion to the English Queen. The Pope had absolved her subjects from their allegiance, and encouraged attempts to assassinate her. How was it possible to treat those who professed absolute obedience to the Pope as if their opinions were matters of indifference?
