“[JRH Moorman’s]]] work has all the qualities of that rare achievement, a good textbook. It is written in a plain but eminently readable expository prose . . . a piece of authentic historical writing, in which the author communicates his interest to the reader without misleading him.”―The Times Educational Supplement
