Modern English Statesmen 



Dem^^vo. By G. R. STIRLING TAYLOR xos.dd.net. 



In a series of historical character studies, this book reconsiders the 

 position of modern statesmanship since the Stuart Rebellion. Taking 

 the accepted facts of the latest historians, but using evidence to which 

 they rarely give its due weight, the author maintains that many of the 

 " orthodox " opinions are not logical deductions from the data. The book 

 is a charge that since the daj's of Lord Burghley statesmanship has too 

 often degenerated into politics. It is an attempt to estimate some typical 

 public men in the light of a colder reason, which shows, for example, 

 that Oliver Cromwell was a founder of modern Plutocracy, while 

 Benjamin Disraeli was the defender of Democracy.

This translation of Dr. F. Miiller-Lyer's famous book, " Phasen der 

 Kultur," will appeal to all who are interested in labour problems at the 

 present time. It contains a series of studies of the different economic 

 phenomena of to-day, describing the gradual evolution of each from 

 the earliest times, with an indication of the probable trend of future 

 developments. The inter-connection of the different conditions so 

 described is well illustrated, and each chapter ends with a brief 

 summary of its subject matter. The accounts of the various stages of 

 food production, of clothing, of housing and of the use of tools contain in 

 a brief and readable form tiie results of the investigations of the past 

 century, and Part III, "The History of the Evolution of Labour," will be 

 read with especial interest.
