A History of Modern England
By HERBERT PAUL
Five volumes, 8vo., cloth, $12.50, net, per set.
“Readers of Mr. Paul’s ‘Matthew Arnold,’ in the English Men of Letters Series, will expect from him a book fearlessly and engagingly written, to say the least. Far from being disappointed by this brilliant young student, journalist and politician (we use the word in its best sense), they are here to receive all this and much more.... He has that particular recommendation of being able to evoke again in the reader of today a live interest in political questions settled long ago, and to reintroduce into the politics of the mid-century the personal element so likely to be wanting in the merely constitutional history.... All in all, the author has given us a history instinct with the life of the English nation. He has the rare virtue of understanding his countrymen, and, though he has the pride of an Englishman in the achievements of England, he is scrupulously just in treating of her political activity.... Indeed, besides a full account of English politics and intellectual life, we have a practically complete history of European affairs during the same period.”—The New York Times.
