THE BALANCE OF POWER, 1715-1789
By A. Hassall, M. A., Student of Christ Church, Oxford.
Forming Volume VI. of Periods of European History.
‘Although it contains more than 400 pages, we felt as we read its last page that it was too short. It is not, however, too short to prevent its author dealing adequately with his subject according to the scheme of the whole Series. There is little detail in it, and but little theorising, and what it contains are clear statements of masterly summaries.... We may cordially recommend this interesting and well-written volume.’—Birmingham Daily Gazette.
‘Treated with much accuracy, patience, and vigour.’—Educational Times.
‘The author has struggled manfully with the difficulties of his subject, and not without a distinct measure of success. He has availed himself of the latest researches on the period, and his narrative is well ordered and illustrated by excellent maps and some useful appendices.’—Manchester Guardian.
REVOLUTIONARY EUROPE, 1789-1815
