The Irish Parliament:
What it Was and What it Did. By
J. G. Swift MacNeill, M.A. Price 1s.
"It contains, I think, within a wonderfully narrow compass, the heart and pith of a large as well as sad chapter of history."—Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.
"Mr. Swift MacNeill explains the constitution of the Irish Parliament, both before 1782 and—what has been called Grattan's Parliament—after 1782, and shows the differences and relations between it and the English Parliament; and he offers such an account of the working of the system—impartial in spirit and supported by abundant quotations from contemporary public men, both Irish and English—as is fitted to warn us against its revival, at least without serious modifications."—Contemporary Review.
"The history of the national Parliamentary government of Ireland is but vaguely known, and it is important just now that information respecting it should be accessible in a popular form. This work puts the subject into a nutshell."—Literary World.
"We have never seen the workings of the old Irish Parliament placed before the reader in so accessible a form as in this volume, for which both Mr. MacNeill and Messrs. Cassell & Co., who are the publishers, deserve the best thanks of every reader."—Liverpool Mercury.
"The book has a value which it would not be easy to overrate, and should find its way into the hands of every politician."—Plymouth Western Daily Mercury.
"A little book of exceeding value."—Londonderry Journal.
"This concise but clear and comprehensive treatise from the pen of Mr. J. G. Swift MacNeill, M.A., is issued at a peculiarly appropriate time, and will from that circumstance, no less than from its own merits, be gratefully welcomed by those who are anxious for light and leading on a question which has suddenly become one of the most pressing, as it has long been one of the most important, with which the statesmen of the present day are called upon to grapple."—Nottingham Guardian.

Eleventh and Cheap Edition, cloth, 3s. 6d.
The Life of the
Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone.
By G. BARNETT SMITH.
"A trustworthy and interesting picture of a noble life and character."—Daily News.
"A sober, solid, but interesting contribution to the political history of the Victorian epoch."—Daily Telegraph.
"The book should be read by every one who takes the least interest in the political history of the country."—Daily Chronicle.
"An elaborate and ably-written biography of Mr. Gladstone as a statesman and a writer."—Echo.
"Mr. Barnett Smith's Life of Mr. Gladstone is a work of national importance, and it should be read and studied by all classes."—Nottingham Daily Express.
"Many a thoughtful working man will hasten to add this book to his little store of fondly-cherished volumes."—North British Daily Mail.
"A very complete account of Mr. Gladstone's relations to the history of the past forty years."—Observer.
"A noble biography of a noble man."—Aberdeen Free Press.
"The minute accuracy of the painstaking record is indeed wonderful, considering the vastness of the field over which the biographer has been obliged to travel. The volumes are, in fact, a history of England during the past half century, as well as a biography of the individual whose name they bear."—Freeman.
"The most superficial glance at the book is enough to secure the impression of great power in many departments on the part of the subject of it, and of great penetration, care, deliberation, and tact on the part of the author."—Nonconformist.
"The most comprehensive and satisfactory Life of Mr. Gladstone which has yet been compiled and given to the public."—Edinburgh Daily Review.
