BIBLIOGRAPHY.--Clarendon's autobiographical works and Letters
enumerated above, and the MS. Collection in the Bodleian library. The
Lives of Clarendon by T.H. Lister (1838), and by C.H. Firth in the
_Dict. of Nat. Biography_ (with authorities there collected),
completely supersede all earlier accounts including that in _Lives of
All the Lord Chancellors_ (1708), in Macdiarmid's _Lives of British
Statesmen_ (1807), and in the different Lives by Wood in _Athenae
Oxonienses_ (Bliss), iii. 1018; while those in J.H. Browne's _Lives of
the Prime Ministers of England_ (1858), in Lodge's _Portraits_, in
Lord Campbell's _Lives of the Chancellors_, iii. 110 (1845), and in
Foss's _Judges_, supply no further information. In _Historical
Inquiries respecting the Character of Edward Hyde, earl of Clarendon_,
various charges against Clarendon were collected by G.A. Ellis (1827)
and answered by Lister, vol. ii. 529, and by Lady Th. Lewis in _Lives
of the Contemporaries of Lord Clarendon_ (1852), i. preface pt. i. For
criticisms of the _History_ see Gardiner's _Civil Wars_ (1893), iii.
121; Ranke's _Hist. of England_, vi. 3-29; _Die Politik Karls des
Ersten_ ... _und Lord Clarendon's Darstellung_, by A. Buff (1868);
article in the _Dict. of Nat. Biog._ by C.H. Firth, and especially a

Review_ (1904). For description of the MS., Macray's edition of the
_History_ (1888), Lady Th. Lewis's _Lives from the Clarendon Gallery_,
