ABSTRACT
It is, no doubt, owing to the fact that he wrote as a scholar for scholars, whether in his Constitutional History or in his great Prefaces to the series of Chronicles and Memorials, 1 that the true greatness of Stubbs is not more widely known. It may be that this is not the place for insisting on the vastness of his learning, the soundness of his judgment or the supreme merit of the work he did for English history ; but those who have realised this for themselves, and who have even been privileged to receive instruction at his hands, cannot readily forego any opportunity of expressing their sense of the debt due to him and of its somewhat imperfect appreciation.
