It is the intention of this series to provide a convenient survey of research on British history which has appeared in Ger- many, not least for scholars who do not usually use German-lan- guage materials. The abstracts were written by Research Fellows of the GHIL. The compilation of this bibliography would not have been possi- ble without the review copies generously supplied by the publishers. In fairness to those firms which were so helpful, we have made no effort to trace and include books of which no review copies were sent; they are merely listed.
