GEORGE BELL & SONS LONDON: YORK STREET, COVENT GARDEN NEW YORK, 66, FIFTH AVENUE, AND BOMBAY : 53, ESPLANADE ROAD CAMBRIDGE: DEIGHTON, BELL & Co. THE AGE OF MILTON BY THE REV. J. HOWARD B. MASTERMAN, M.A. SOMETIME LECTURER IN S. JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE WITH AN INTRODUCTION, ETC., BY J. BASS MULLINGER, M. A. UNIVERSITY LECTURER IN HISTORY LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS 1901 NOTE. THE Age of Milton was originally undertaken by Mr. J. Bass Mullinger, author of The History of the University of Cambridge and other highly esteemed works, and left entirely in his hands. But the pressure of many other claims upon his time and attention has made it impossible for him to carry out this arrangement; and as Mr. Masterman, of his college, whose literary ability was already well known, had assisted Mr. Mullinger in his researches for the proposed volume, I was glad to agree that to him the main part of the work should be transferred, and feel sure readers will congratulate themselves on the substitute so fortunately secured.
