Note 1030 — Chapter I
Reading edition
This is now pretty generally recognised. Among recent writers compare Green, Short History, ch. iv, § 3; Pearson, as last cited, p. 220; Gardiner, Student's History of England, p. 235; and Introduction to the Study of English History, p. 91. See also Buckle, 3-vol. ed. ii, 133; 1-vol. ed. p. 362. The sentimental view is still extravagantly expressed by Ducoudray, Histoire sommaire de la civilisation, 1886.
