\n\n Stott, George.\u201cHistory of the Sect of Maharajahs Or Vallabhacharyans in Western India.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 2, no. 0: (15 August 1865): 125\u201326.\n Publisher is Trubner; author is Mulji Karsandas.\n Seebohm, F.\u201cTHE BLACK DEATH, AND ITS PLACE IN ENGLISH HISTORY (1).\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 1, no. 0: (15 September 1865): 149\u201360.\n Seebohm discusses evidence that demonstrates a very large proportion of the people of England died of the plague in 1348-9. As well, he answers questions concerning how the English peasantry became detached from the land and what caused the conditions of England\u2019s towns and cities to worsen. Immigration is also mentioned as a factor affecting England\u2019s population. This article demonstrates that the population of England was much larger before the plague, than was originally assumed.\n Seebohm, F.\u201cTHE BLACK DEATH, AND ITS PLACE IN ENGLISH HISTORY (2).\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 2, no. 0: (15 September 1865): 268\u201379.\n Seebohm continues his article with a discussion of how the extreme depopulation caused by the Plague in the fourteenth century affected the relationship between land and labour. He states that a sudden fall in the market value of land and the sudden rise in the market value of labour were inevitable. This article also states that it was not until the sixteenth century that the value of land began to rise again. With this rise in land value also came a rise in the value of house property. Seehbohm also mentions the effect that war had on the population.\n Jewitt, Llewellyn.\u201cThe Wedgwoods: Being a Life of Josiah Wedgwood; with Notices of His Works and Their Productions, Memoirs of the Wedgwood and Other Families, and a History of the Early Potteries of Staffordshire.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 2, no. 0: (15 October 1865): 637\u201338.\n A \u2018sympathising and intelligent appreciation\u2019, including historic survey of Staffordshire potteries back to the Celtic period.\n Godkin, G.

This article provides a brief account of the most distinguished works, including those of Zohar, Akiba and Origen. Issues of concern include how the letters of the Hebrew alphabet have their own significance and the distinct nature of the Hebrew language. Following the topic of grammar, is a second branch of Hebrew Philology called Hebrew Lexicography. The coverage is the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.\n Browning, Oscar.\u201cTrollope\u2019s History of Florence.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 4, no. 19: (15 February 1866): 70\u201386.\n The review is primarily an essay in praise of Florence. Browning engages with T. Augustus Trollope\u2019s analysis in a number of places but priases his \u2018pure and lucid\u2019 style, which, unlike that of his novels, is not dull.\n Fagan, H. S.\u201cA Constitutional History of the British Empire; from the Accession of Charles I. to the Restoration:\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 4, no. 21: (15 March 1866): 377\u201381.\n Author is George Brodie, a \u2018nondescript\u2019 historian who \u2018tears the soft veil of distance off the middle ages, and displays feudal times in even more than their natural ugliness.\u2019 So fond are English readers of \u2018this kind of history\u2019, however, \u2018that a few months \u201cdryasdust\u201d research will give any man a cheap reputaton as a historian.\u2019\n Freeman, Edward Augustus.\u201cTHE MYTHICAL AND ROMANTIC ELEMENTS IN EARLY ENGLISH HISTORY.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 4, no. 24: (May 1866): 641\u201368.\n Freeman separates English history into four categories: historical, romantic, traditional and mythical. \u2018Simple historic truth\u2019 and \u2018the historic mind\u2019 must struggle against myth, legend, and tradition.\n Dennis, John.\u201cResearches into the History of the British Dog.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 5, no. 30: (August 1866): 768.\n The book is unsatisfactory — has no plan, but rather \u2018is a confused mass of details\u2019; however many of the illustrations are excellent. Author is George R. Jesse; publisher is Robert Hardwicke.\n Bell, Robert.\u201cThe History of Signboards.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 6, no. 33: (15 September 1866): 376\u201380.\n An episode in the history of advertising.

He discusses the actions of the Working Men\u2019s Association, which advocated for the social improvement of the working class. The obstacles of the Chartists and how they overcame these problems is also discussed. Continued in June 1867 issue, pp 743-747.\n Freeman, Edward Augustus.\u201cThe Relations between the Crowns of England and Scotland.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, VOLUME 7 O.S., 1 N.S., JUNE 1867: (June 1867): 697\u2013714.\n Freeman observes that \u2018the popular and romantic English mind\u2019 likes to take the Scottish side in controversy, and refers to his own debate with Robertson, outlined in History of the Norman Conquest.<\/i>\n Morley, John.\u201cMR.

This article states that because the Revolution was in full swing for two years before there was any republican party, that republicanism was not born out of the revolution, as if commonly believed. Beesly also discusses the bourgeoisie and peasant class. This article covers the late 18th century and the 19th century.\n Leslie, Thomas Edward Cliffe.\u201cMaine\u2019s Early History of Institutions (Vol 17, 1874).\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 17, no. 99: (March 1875): 305\u201320.\n Author is Sir Henry Summer Maine.\n Colvin, Sidney.\u201cTHE HISTORY OF A PAVEMENT.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 18, no. 103: (July 1875): 42\u201363.\n Colvin discusses the pavement of the metropolitan church of the Virgin in Siena, arguing that the pavement of this church tells the whole artistic history (for nearly two hundred years) of a \u2018brilliant community.\u2019 Colvin discusses the addition to the church in 1260, which incorporated a Gothic style. The style of flooring and the subjects depicted on the floor are of concern. The coverage for this article is from the thirteenth century onward.\n Leslie, Thomas Edward Cliffe.\u201cTHE HISTORY OF GERMAN POLITICAL ECONOMY.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 18, no. 103: (July 1875): 93\u2013101.\n Leslie describes two conceptions of political economy in Europe: English and German. The purpose of this article is to indicate some of the leading features in the history of this area of German thought, with some observations suggested by Dr. Roscher\u2019s History of Political Economy in Germany. Leslie states that the German political economy is divided, by Roscher, into three periods: the theological and humanistic period, State regulation and fiscal science and the third begins with the introduction of the system of Physiocrats into Germany. The coverage begins in the late eighteenth century until the 1860s.\n Freeman, Edward Augustus.\u201cThe Law of Honour.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, VOLUME 26 O.S., 20 N.S., DECEMBER 1876: (December 1876): 731\u201351.\n Draws on historical evidence for a discussion of contemporary standards of chivalry and honour, and the status of a gentleman.\n Tylor, Edward Burnett (Sir).\u201cTHE HISTORY OF GAMES.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 25, no. 149: (May 1879): 735\u201347.\n Tylor discusses the origins of certain games and shows that they have a different meaning in some countries. Some games that Tylor discusses includes a seizing-game, ball games and sedentary games (which includes games that use lots or dice for gambling). Games from Brittany, Greece and Persia, etc. are discussed. Tylor concludes that there is progress in games, just as there is in civilization.\n Stephen, Leslie.\u201cAN ATTEMPTED PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 27, no. 161: (May 1880): 672\u201395.\n Stephen states that during 1850-60 there were two great intellectual \u2018shocks\u2019, the first volume of Buckle\u2019s History of Civilization<\/i> and Darwin\u2019s Origin of Species.<\/i> Of the two, it is Darwin who receives more attention. Stephen critiques Buckle\u2019s work and thoughts to help overcome this problem. Stephen criticizes Buckle, but views his work as valuable and is seen as an effective stimulant.\n Freeman, Edward Augustus.\u201cON THE STUDY OF HISTORY.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 29, no. 171: (March 1881): 319\u201339.\n Freeman\u2019s article incorporates a history of history; including the reaction of the general public to history and those who write it. Historians must be prepared for criticism; and history is about truth. Freeman states that it is good for historians to be knowledgeable about specific periods in history, but most importantly, they should know the general outline of history.\n Pollock, Frederick (Sir).\u201cTHE HISTORY OF ENGLISH LAW AS A BRANCH OF POLITICS.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 30, no. 178: (October 1881): 478\u201398.\n Pollock addresses the reasons why certain events, laws, etc. are important, and the ways in which legal institutions and ideas have power in politics. To do this, Pollock examines the legal aspect of English politics at critical points in history, when English institutions were most active. Three specific periods are used: the twelfth and thirteenth centuries when constructive work was done on English institutions, the struggle between King and Parliament, which resulted in the Civil War and the Commonwealth, and also the formation of the modern constitution which occurred after James II abdicated the throne.\n Leslie, Thomas Edward Cliffe.\u201cTHE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF INTEREST AND PROFIT.\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 30, no. 179: (November 1881): 640\u201359.\n Leslie states that the concept of interest under the name of usury existed in a much earlier stage of society than is commonly assumed; usury has often been attributed to the Christian Church. Leslie says that two practices in relation to the payment of interest co-existed in the fourteenth century, one from social \u2018infancy\u2019 and the other developed in the progressing interaction between mercantile people. This article also discusses what the medieval rate of interest was during the fourteenth century onward. Also discussed are factors that cause interest to rise and fall.\n Blennerhassett, Charlotte Julia (Lady).\u201cA Page of Diplomatic History (Vol 1).\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 30, no. 180: (December 1881): 759\u201377.\n Examines the collections of letters between Baron Stael-Holstein and Baron Brinksman (on the revolution of 1783-1799) from 1783 to 1799.

Two events are discussed to demonstrate how the British have been blamed: the Norman Conquest and the great European schism which brought on the religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Smith discusses these events and also explains North America\u2019s role in the negative treatment of the Irish. There is also a brief comparison of the Irish in Canada and the U.S.\n Burnand, Francis Cowley (Sir).\u201cHISTORY IN PUNCH (1 and 2).\u201d Fortnightly Review<\/i>, 40, no. 235; 240: (July 1886): 737\u201352.\n These articles discuss the many events in history that have been portrayed in cartoon form in Punch, <\/i>beginning with the Exhibition of 1851.
