Excerpt from England and France in the Fifteenth Century: The Contemporary French Tract Entitled the Debate Afforded. In the notes mention is also made of some peculiarities in the translation. The typo graphical errors of the original French tract are very numerous, though most of them are only of slight importance, and leave no doubt as to the meaning intended. The points, therefore, alone are noticed which seemed to be of consequence, or with respect to which an historical student might probably wish to exercise his own judg ment. The additional notes are followed by an Inquiry into the Authorship of the Debate between the Heralds here translated. In this Inquiry the Debate itself has been made to render up the name of its author, since there is no external evidence upon the question; and hence this portion of the work naturally comes after the former. There is further added a Con clusion, containing a few remarks on the political subjects suggested rather than discussed in the Debate, from a point of view embracing a wider range than could be enjoyed by the French.
