By Mrs. Katherine Hodge.
Justin McCarthy's "History of Our Own Times" is deservedly the most
popular history of our times. It has passed the Rubicon and is now
an interesting classic. "Greater Britain under Queen Victoria,"
which should be the title of "Fifty Years a Queen," is less
pretentious to the above masterpiece, but it is a succinct, concise
and accurate account of the history of the past fifty years. Those
who do not care to give the time to the larger history will find
this book a valuable substitute."--_London Academy._
