[Lavisse] aims above all, to describe the formation and
political development of the states of Europe, and to
indicate the historical causes of their present condition
and mutual relations. In other words, he shows how the
existing political divisions of Europe, with their peculiar
tendencies, were created. … The ability of Professor
Lavisse to compress the essence of a great event or
sequence of events into a few comprehensive and expressive
sentences, has enabled him to accomplish his difficult task
with signal success."

century. … At last I came upon the 'Politische Geschichte

A student's history of England, from the earliest
times to 1885.
London: Longmans. 1890—1. 3 volumes.
Professor Gardiner, being a specialist distinctly, in the
one period of English history to which he has devoted
himself—the period of the Stuarts—would not claim
authority, of course, as an original investigator of other
times; and some parts of this general text-book have been

"The success of the 'Short History' was rapid and
overwhelming. Everybody read it. It was philosophical
enough for scholars, and popular enough for school boys. No
historical book since Macaulay's has made its way so fast.
… The characteristic note of his [Green's] genius was also
that of Gibbon's, the combination of a perfect mastery of
multitudinous details with a large and luminous view of
those far-reaching forces and relations which govern the
fortunes of peoples and guide the course of empire."

MACAULAY, THOMAS BABINGTON, Baron.
History of England from the accession of James II.
London: Longmans.
A brief survey of previous events introduces the history
proper which begins with the accession of James II., in
1685. As the death of the author brought his work to an
abrupt end before he had finished his account of the reign
of William III. (1689-1702), the history covers a period of
less than eighteen years. Its extraordinary brilliancy, on
the one and, and its defects of partisan prejudice and
misjudgment on the other, are well known. "I can see
Macaulay's great and obvious faults as well as any man; I
know as well as any man the cautions with which his
brilliant pictures must be studied; but I cannot feel that
I have any right to speak lightly of one to whom I owe so
much in the matter of actual knowledge, and to whom I owe
more than to any man as the master of historical
narrative."

"Taken as a whole, the seven volumes ['Norman Conquest' and

reputation will chiefly rest."

and of the institutions in which those principles were most
clearly manifested."
_Author's Preface._
"Kemble has no narrative work to compare with that of
Palgrave; but the 'Saxons in England' may fairly be
compared with the 'History of the English Commonwealth.'
They are two great works, works of two great scholars,
who assuredly are not yet superseded. They will give you
two sides of the same general story."

particular persons of the family of Paston in Norfolk. …
Mr. Gardner's Introduction of 130 closely printed pages to
the first volume, 50 to the second, and 60 to the third, is
a book in itself, giving a clear record of the public and

are illustrated by, or illustrate, the 'Paston letters.'"

dishonorable but important part in the strife for the
English crown between the Empress Matilda and Stephen of
Blois. He is used by Mr. Round as merely a central figure
in the most thorough study that has been made of that
distressing time of anarchy.

"In along and careful study of the Bishop of Chester's
writings I will not say that I have always agreed with
every inference that he has drawn from his evidence; but I
can say that I have never found a flaw in the statement of
his evidence. … After five-and-thirty years' knowledge of
him and his works, I can say without fear that he is the
one man among living scholars to whom one may most freely
go as to an oracle, that we may feel more sure with him
than with any other that in his answer we carry away words
of truth which he must be rash indeed who calls in
question."

This work "consists of four different treatises, which were
originally published as prefaces to the four volumes of
'Letters an Papers of the Reign of Henry VIII.,' edited by
Professor Brewer for the Master of the Rolls. … They do not
… contain a detailed systematic narrative of all that was
done in the times of which they treat; but they certainly
do contain a review of the reign of Henry VIII. down to the
death of Wolsey, as clear sighted as it is comprehensive,
drawn from the latest sources of information, carefully
collected and arranged by the author himself."

"What is unique in his case is the value of his facts, as

his reasonings. Other historians, when they go wrong, can
be refuted only by reference to other authorities;
Clarendon can be answered out of his own lips."

Biographies of Eliot, Strafford, Pym, Hampden, Vane,

Strafford was written for Forster by Robert Browning, and
it has been separately published as Browning's work. "Mr.
Forster … was not only an historical writer, but his time
and energies were also largely absorbed in the journalism
of the Whig party of his day, and his treatment of
important questions too often betrays the influence of a
strong feeling of partisanship."

FROUDE, J. A.
History of England, from the fall of Wolsey
to the death of Elizabeth.
London: Longmans. New York: C. Scribner & Co. 12 volumes.
“The well-known work of Mr. Fronde abounds with graphic
descriptions accompanied by much admirable and just
criticism. In its composition he was largely aided by his
researches among the archives at Simancas, collections
which at that time had been very imperfectly investigated.
Unfortunately, the conception he has formed of the
character and conduct of Henry VIII. is of so strange and
unreal a kind as to deprive this portion of his History of
much of its value. The reign of Edward VI. is described
with more impartiality, but the policy of Somerset is
somewhat harshly judged. … The volumes that relate to the
reign of Elizabeth are the most valuable part of the work."

narrative throws much light on the conduct of the
committees through which Parliament worked, and the
machinery whereby it maintained its authority over the
whole kingdom."

JEPHSON, HENRY.
The Platform: its rise and progress.
London and New York: Macmillan & Co. 1892. 2 volumes.
"In 1820 we find the word 'platform' used as describing the
place from which the speakers addressed the meeting, and
gradually, as we advanced into the present century, the
word 'platform' by a perfectly simple and natural
transition, came into general use and acceptation, not
merely in the technical sense, as the place from which the
Speech was made, but as descriptive of the spoken
expression of public opinion outside Parliament."

LECKY, W. E. H.
History of England in the 18th century.
London: Longmans. 1878-87.
New York: D. Appleton & Co. 1878-90. 8 volumes.
"Mr. Lecky's book ought to have been entitled 'Essays on
the Growth of the British Empire during the Eighteenth
Century.' … He has seized more clearly than most writers
the fruitful idea that the importance of the eighteenth
century in English history lies in the transformation of
England into the British Empire, and further, that no part
of British history can be understood unless the development
of the Empire be regarded as a whole."
A. V. Dicey,
Lecky's History
(Nation, April 18, 1878, page 261).
LETTERS AND PAPERS, foreign and domestic, of the

History of our own times, from the accession of
Queen Victoria to the Berlin Congress.
London: Chatto & Windus. 1879. 4 volumes.
New York: Harper & Bros. 1880. 2 volumes.
A most readable narrative of recent history: colored
by the national and partisan prejudices of the writer,
as every contemporary writing of history is sure to be;
but manifestly honest in intention, and a praiseworthy
piece of work.
MACKINTOSH, Sir JAMES.
History of the Revolution in England in 1688:
comprising a view of the reign of James II.;
completed, to the settlement of the crown, by the editor.
"Almost all the distinguished writers who have treated of
English history are advocates. Mr. Hallam and Sir James
Mackintosh alone are entitled to be called judges. But the
extreme austerity of Mr. Hallam takes away something from
the pleasure of reading his learned, eloquent and judicious
writings. He is a judge, but a hanging judge, the Page or
Buller of the High Court of Literary Justice. His black cap
is in constant requisition. … Sir James, perhaps, erred a
little on the other side. He liked a maiden assize and came
away with white gloves, after sitting in judgment on
batches of the most notorious offenders."
_Lord Macaulay, Sir James Mackintosh (Essays)._
MAHON, Lord (afterwards Earl Stanhope).
History of England, comprising the reign of Queen Anne
until the Peace of Utrecht, 1701-1713.
London: J. Murray. 1870.
History of England from the Peace of Utrecht [1713]
to the Peace of Versailles [1783].
London: J. Murray. 7 volumes.
"Though the volumes of Lord Mahon are distinguished by
research and varied learning, by a spirit at once candid,
patient, and investigating—though his lordship possesses
considerable ability as a narrator, and is a master of a
style at once easy, flowing, and thoroughly English, yet
with all his calm discrimination, and all his spirit of
truth and justice, there 18 something of the leaven of old
Toryism about his tone of thought."

History of the Thirty Years' Peace, A. D. 1816-1846.
London: G. Bell & Sons. 1877. 4 volumes.
A work which is exceedingly heavy reading, and which does
not at all sustain the literary reputation of Miss
Martineau. It gives, however, the most complete account we
have of the thirty years following the Napoleonic wars.
MASSEY, WILLIAM.
History of England during the reign of George III.
2d edition, revised and corrected.
London: Longmans. 1865. 4 volumes.
"Mr. Massey is clear, succinct and nervous. He is a careful
and conscientious inquirer, who searches into original and
contemporary documents, and who does not take facts or
adopt opinions at second hand. Mr. Massey is not a decided
party man, though a Liberal in the best sense of the word."
_Fraser's Magazine,
volume 51, page 144._
"The work is dispassionate and impartial in its tone."

movements—religious, political, and social—which may be
supposed to have influenced the poet's genius or to have
moulded the national history."

and the commercial, economic, and financial questions which

In the preface to these last two volumes of his work, which
he did not live to complete, Professor Tuttle remarked:
"The great name of Carlyle is associated so commandingly
with the reign of Frederic the Great that any other writer,
who ventures to treat the same subject, is bound to make
good in advance his claim to a hearing. … But my own faith
was shaken when during a residence of several years in
Berlin I discovered how inadequate was Carlyle's account,
and probably also his knowledge, of the working system of
the Prussian government in the last century,—a system which
it is absolutely necessary to understand if one desires to
know as well why Frederic was able to accomplish what he
did, as why his successors failed to accomplish what they
undertook.

serious and perspicuous in discussion and in the
delineation of character, animated in narration."
