lesley_ (1877), well edited
by S. J. Owen; the first two series of the _Wellington Dispatches_,
noticed under section 3; and the vast mass of information collected in
Sir W. W. HUNTER'S _Imperial Gazetteer of India_ (14 vols., 1885-1887).

(8) For social and economic history: Dr. W. CUNNINGHAM'S _The Growth of
English Industry and Commerce in Modern Times_, vol. iii., _Laissez
Faire_ (1903), extending from 1776 to 1850, is now the standard work.
Reference has also been made to G. R. PORTER, _Progress of the Nation_
(1847), a work abounding more in statistics than in narrative, and to
Sir GEORGE NICHOLLS, _History of the English Poor Law_ (2 vols., 1854).
Nicholls took an active interest in social and economic questions from
1816 till his death in 1857. He probably understood the working of the
poor-law better than any other man of that date, and the poor-law
legislation of 1834 and 1838 was largely founded on his suggestions. He
was one of the poor-law commissioners of 1834, and was permanent
secretary to the poor-law board from 1847 to 1851. Sir G. C. LEWIS, _The
Government of Dependencies_ (1891), edited by C. P. Lucas, and LUCAS,
_Historical Geography of the British Colonies_, vols. i.-v. (1888-1901),
are of value. For literary history, SAINTSBURY'S _History of Nineteenth
Century Literature, 1780-1895_, (1896), is an excellent guide. For
educational progress at Oxford University reference may be made to the
_Report of H.M.'s Commissioners appointed to inquire into the State,
etc., of the University and Colleges of Oxford_ (1852), which contains a
good historical summary. The report of the similar commission appointed
for Cambridge hardly touches the progress of studies, and is therefore
of less value to the historical student.
