‘This work, which deals with Period V. in the series of books on Periods of European History, fully maintains the reputation of that admirable series, wherein a connected view of modern European history is attempted to be given.’—Daily Chronicle.

‘To the two volumes of this well-planned series which Mr. Oman and Mr. Stephens have respectively published, there now comes a third instalment, written by Mr. H. O.
