The Justices of the Peace
in England, 1558--1640
A LATER EIRENARCHA
By
JOHN H.
GLEASO~,
Pomona College, Claremont, California.
William
Lambarde's
Eirenarcha,
a book about the Justices of the Peace, appeared
in
1582. Using a diary which Lambarde kept as a key to one county bench and
taking it as a gauge of others, Professor Gleason examines the commissions of the
peace for Kent, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Somerset, Worcestershire, and North
Riding between 1558 and 1640. He analyzes them with reference to the social
and economic status of members, the circumstances of their appointment and
continuance in office, and the parts played by religion and politics.

Daniel Heinsius and Stuart England
By
PAUL SELLIN,
University of California, Los Angeles.
To the seventeenth
century, the most famous Hollander was not Grotius, but the classicist, poet, edi–
tor, and Aristotelian critic Daniel Heinsius. Yet today, Heinsius is rarely viewed
as approaching Grotius's stature, although the titles Heinsius gathered suggest
his importance to his contemporaries. This study traces his remarkable career
in the Netherlands and sketches his personal ties with English divines and men of
letters. It concludes with an analysis of the impact of his editorial and critical
activities on some English literary theorists.

Arnim and Bisnlark
By
GEORGE O. KENT,
Library of Congress.
This study analyzes the status of
the office of the chancellor and the foreign minister of the German Reich. It
discusses how the outcome of the struggle between Arnim and Bismarck settled
the personal fate of the protagonists and determined the course of German
foreign and domestic policies for some time. The book is based on a wide range
of hitherto little-known documents in the archives of the German Foreign
Ministry in Bonn.
