Abstract
THE members of the International Congress of Historical Studies have been holding their meetings in London, under the presidency of Mr. James Bryce, who was, however, unfortunately absent throughout the proceedings. Five years ago, the congress held very successful meetings in Berlin, and ten years ago it assembled under favourable auspices in Rome. If the London meeting has attracted less notice in the country of its assembling than the two preceding ones, it has nonetheless produced some excellent papers, and it must be accounted a real loss to the general public that the very faulty organisation of the congress, combined with our insular aloofness and the ignorance of modern languages which is an accepted item of English education, has prevented the meetings from receiving their due share of attention.
