Transactions of the Royal Historical Society. New Series, Vol. XIV.
(Longmans and Co. 218.)—The contributions to this volume are as various and as interesting as usual. On the side of social history we have Miss Frances G. Davenport's paper on "The Decay of Villeinage in East Anglia," a study founded on
the records of Forncett Manor, in Norfolk. These are especially full in two periods, 1272-1307 and 1376-1378. The latter are peculiarly valuable as they relate to a critical period in the history of labour. To the same province belong Mr. W. 3. Corbett's essay on " The Tribal Hidage," and " The Inquisitions of Depopulation in 1517 and the Domesday of Inclosures,' " by Edwin F. Gay and I. S. Leaden); M.A. Military history is repre- sented by "The Battle of Dunbar," by Mr. Frith, and politics by " The Development of Political Parties during the Reign of Queen Anne," by Walter Frewen Lord, and a paper on " Anglo- Russian Relations," by Mrs. D'Arey Collyer.
