The Ttmes says : — " Those who admire indefatigable research, 

 lucidity of expression, and breadth of view in the treatment of 

 contemporary history cannot fail to give a favourable reception to 

 this volume ; and the fact that the subject is treated with impartial- 

 ity and a very agreeable spirit of moderation will do nothing to 

 detract from the reader's pleasure. , . . He marshals his facts with 

 order and skill, suppUes every text and reference that .-e can re- 

 quire for the refreshing of our memories, and, while missing nothing 

 of serious importance, preserves intact throughout the narrative a 

 balanced judgment, a fine sense of proportion, and a perfect con- 

 tinuity of ideas."
