Note 41 — PART II HISTORICAL STUDIES

This grave confusion, with all that it involves, was one of the 'trifling slips', as Mr Archer terms them (Cont. Rev., p. 354), exposed in my original article (Q.R., July 1892). Such a description is either dishonest, or must imply that Mr Archer, who boasts that he has 'a sterner criterion' than myself (English Historical Review, ix. 606), deems such errors of no consequence.
