Vétault's Charlemagne (1877) — have appeared too late to enable the author to profit by any additional light that these writers may have thrown upon the period.
In conclusion, his thanks are due to the two adjudicators of the Prize — his lordship, the bishop of Truro, and professor Edwin Palmer, of Oxford — for their kind permission to append an additional chapter, which serves to illustrate more fully the connexion of the present subject with the commencement of the University of Paris and of European university history at large.
February, 1877.
