Riassunto:

Excerpt from Studies and Notes Supplementary to Stubbs' Constitutional History, Vol. 2

As was foreshadowed in M. Petit-dutaillis' preface to the French translation of the first volume of the Constitutional History of bishop Stubbs, the second volume, of which the French version appeared last year, has been found to need much less revision of the kind for which footnotes are inadequate. Instead of the twelve additional Studies and Notes of volume I, which were translated by Mr. W. E. Rhodes and published under my editorship by the Manchester University Press in 1908, M. Petit-dutaillis has thought it unneces sary to append to volume II more than two such studies. The subjects with which they deal, The Forest and The Causes and General Characteristics of the Rising of 1381 are, however, treated with such thoroughness as to provide sufficient matter for another volume of Supplementary Studies. In his preface M. Petit Dutaillis holds out the hope that his additions to the third volume of Stubbs' work will be concerned with questions more directly constitutional; but the Forest played a part in the contest between the English crown and people which makes the inclusion of the first essay in these studies quite appropriate, while the many additions that have been made to our knowledge of the Peasants' Revolt since Stubbs wrote constitute a suffi cient justification for the second. The translation of the two studies has been made by my friend and colleague Mr. W. T. Waugh, and my duties as editor have been exceedingly light. As in the first volume, a few foot notes have been added in square brackets, in most cases by Mr. Waugh, who has also adapted the index from the one made by M. Lefebvre for the French edition.
