Facsimile edition. Volume III.WITH one important exception the
three volumes here published practically represent the whole mass
of Maitland's scattered writing. A few very short notices have been
omitted, but wherever an article, however brief, contains a new
grain of historical knowledge or reveals Maitland's original
thought upon some problem of law or history, it has been included
in this collection.
We begin with a philosophical dissertation submitted by a young
Cambridge graduate to the examiners for a Trinity Fellowship and
end with the tribute to the memory of a pupil composed only a few
days before his last illness by a great master of history, by one
of the greatest scholars in the annals of English scholarship.
These papers cover a wide surface. Some are philosophical,
others biographical, but for the most part they belong to
Maitland's special sphere of legal and social history. Some pieces
are confessedly popular, such as the brilliant outline of English
legal history which concludes the second volume; others, and of
such is the bulk of the collection, are concerned with problems the
simplest terms of which are not apprehended without special
study.
