Henry Charles Lea, 1825-1909 (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Henry Charles Lea, 1825-1909 Creighton to gauge the real value of Mr. Lea's works, and to express an opinion of their interest and importance. Such a tribute from one historian to another working in the same field may well be looked on as the highest praise a sound scholar can have as his reward. That his works have also won the approbation of scholars on the Continent of Europe may be gathered from the opening remarks in an extended notice of his last book in the Jewish Quarterly Review for April, 1908: It is the fashion in American universities to give their professors a Sabbatical year one year of rest in every seven.

A History of the Inquisition
A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages in three volumes is a groundbreaking work on the subject of Inquisition, written by Henry Charles Lea, one of the main authorities on the subject. His goal was to present an impartial account of the institution as it existed during the earlier period. In order to accurately appreciate the process of its development and the results of its activity the author takes in consideration the factors controlling the minds and souls of men during these times. He recapitulates nearly all the spiritual and intellectual movements of the Middle Ages, glancing at the condition of society in certain of its phases. Beginning with the state of church in 12th and 13th century, the study includes various forms of heresy emerging throughout the European continent from Spain and France west, to Slavic countries in Eastern Europe. Lea particularly deals with various fields of inquisitorial activity, notably its utilization in political purposes. Though his study of the Inquisition was criticized for anti-Spanish bias, it is thoroughly researched and contains interesting details surrounding this notorious institution.
