Excerpt from A History of England, Vol. 3 of 7: England in the Later Middle Ages Mr. L. Stampa both for reading through the greater part of the ms. Of this book and suggesting emendations and alterations and for his invaluable help in the preparation of the maps. I should add that in constructing the map of Northern England and Scotland I got much help from Professor Tout's similar map in Vol. III. Of the Political History of England, and that my map of England during the Wars Of the Roses owes a similar debt to the map in Dr. Poole's Historical Atlas (j Modern Europe. The necessity Of compressing a very important period, covering 213 years, into five hundred pages, has caused much to be left out which I should have liked to see inserted. The original manuscript has been cut down by some 100 pages from the shape in which it left my hands. I should like to add my warmest thanks for Professor Oman's kindness and consideration to me throughout the preparation Of the book.
