Excerpt from Lectures on the Council of Trent: Delivered at Oxford 1892-3 The lectures on the Council of Trent were delivered by Mr. Froude in the Michaelmas Term of 1892 and the Hilary Term of 1898. They formed the first of three courses delivered by him during the eighteen months in which he was in residence at Oxford as Regius Professor of Modern History. Two of these courses, the lectures on Erasmus and on the English Seamen of the Sixteenth Century, have already been published. Had Mr. Froude lived to publish the present series of lectures, he would no doubt have thoroughly revised and corrected them. They were addressed to varying audiences, and for this reason contain repetitions which may appear superfluous to the reader. The author would also no doubt have given, in footnotes, references to the original authorities, as in the published lectures on Eras mus. The quotations are not literal translations, but abridgments or paraphrases, and as their ao curacy can, for the most part, easily be verified, it has been thought advisable to publish the lectures as they stood, with only a few verbal corrections.
