THE CRUSADERS IN THE EAST. A brief History of the

Wars of Islam with the Latins in Syria during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. By W. B. Stevenson, M.A.

This book is a history of the political relations between the states which the Crusaders

founded and those Moslem states with which they waged war, in other words a history of the

Demy Svo struggle between the Latins and the Moslems in Syria during the twelfth and thirteenth

2 maps centuries. In the treatment of the subject the Eastern- point of view has been emphasized and

7s 6d net the main thread of the narrative is drawn, as far as possible, from the history of the Moslem

states. The stress thus laid on the Eastern point of view and the special attention paid to the

chronology of the period are, it is thought, sufficient to justify a new work on the subject.

GEORGE GASCOIGNE: THE POSIES. Edited by John W.

Cunliffe, M.A., D.Litt., Professor of English in the University of Wisconsin, U.S.A.

the making of verse." The text of the present issue has been set up from a copy of the edition

of 1575 in the University Library at Cambridge.

PROGRESS. Edited by John Brown, D.D.

1599-1600. Now printed for the first time from a MS. in the Library of St. John's College, Cambridge. With an introduction and notes by G. C. Moore Smith, Litt.D.

Club Lain owed its origin to a long-standing feud between the University and the town

Fcap 4to f Cambridge. According to Fuller (History of the University of Cambridge, 1655), the play,

which he describes as " merry (but abusive)," was intended by the young scholars as a piece of revenge on the townsmen, individual members of the corporation of the day being personated to the life, with their characteristic gestures and expressions.
