HISTORY 



OF 



CIVILIZATION IN ENGLAND. 



By HENRY THOMAS BUCKLE: 

 2 Vols. 8vo, Cloth. $5. 



{From the Boston Journal.) 



" Singularly acute, possessed of rare analytical power, imaginative but not 

 fanciful, unwearied in research, and gifted with wonderful talent in arranging 

 and moulding his material, the author is as fascinating as he is learned. His 

 erudition is immense— so immense as not to be cumbersome. It is the result 

 of a long and steady growth — a part of himself. 



{From the Chicago Home Journal.) 



"The master-stroke of the first volume is the author's skill and success in 

 delineating the train of causes which resulted in the early French Revolution 

 ^1793). These causes, with their combinations, are so arranged that the mind 

 of the reader is prepared for results not very unlike such as actually occurred, 

 horrible as they were. 



{From the Boston Transcript) 



" His first volume evinces a clear head, an intrepid heart, and an honest pur- 

 pose. A true kind of induction characterizes it. Indeed it is almost a new 

 revelation, comprising the fidelity of Gibbon, the comprehensiveness of Hum- 

 boldt, and the fascination of Macaulay." 



{From the N. T. Daily Times.) 



""We have read Mr. Buckle's volumes with the deepest interest. "We owe 

 him a profound debt of gratitude. His influence on the thought of the present 

 age cannot but be enormous, and if he gives us no more than we already have 

 in the two volumes of the magnus opus, he will still be classed among the 

 fathers and founders of the Science of History." 



{From the Neicark Daily Advertiser.) 



"The book is a treat, and even 'mid the din of battle it will be extensively 

 read, for it bears no little upon our own selves, our country, and its future ex- 

 istence and progress."
