Historical Reprints EDITED BY W. DAWSON JOHNSTON, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AND JEAN BROWNE JOHNSTON I THE RELATIONS BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE MEDIÆVAL, 664-154 SHEEHAN & CO., ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN BLOOMSBURY, LONDON 1896 The general aim of the series of English Historical Reprints, like that of the German Quellenbuch, is to comprehend in a handy form the most important documents illustrative of the principles of English history; in particular to bring before the student in concrete form documents commonly referred to other illustrative materials, an introductory essay, and an annotated bibliography. The essay it is hoped will prove suggestive, the references, to printed sources, immediately useful and those to manuscript sources and the larger literature of the subject, ultimately useful and interesting. To Mr. C. M. Burton, of Detroit, the donor of the Burton Historical Collection in English history, the editors are especially indebted. W. DAWSON JOHNSTON. University of Michigan.
