BY HENRY DUNCKLEY (‘VERAX’).
With Photogravure Portrait. 3s. 6d.
‘It is hard to imagine a better piece of work than this short study of Lord Melbourne by Mr. Dunckley. Amongst some of the most amusing of Mr. Dunckley’s pages—and hardly a page of this little book is dull after the preliminary matter is passed by—is his account of Lord Melbourne’s dealings with theology and Church preferments.... Of two lives of the Queen’s Prime Ministers which have as yet appeared, we certainly give the preference to Mr. Dunckley’s over Mr. Froude’s. Mr. Froude had the more attractive theme, but Mr. Dunckley has made more of the less interesting theme.’—Spectator.
SIR ROBERT PEEL
BY JUSTIN McCARTHY, M.P.
SECOND EDITION, with an additional Chapter. With Photogravure Portrait. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d.
‘Mr. McCarthy relates clearly and well the main incidents of Peel’s political life, and deals fairly with the great controversies which still rage about his conduct in regard to the Roman Catholic Relief Bill and the Repeal of the Corn Laws.’
Saturday Review.
‘Mr. McCarthy’s chapters on Catholic Emancipation are written with admirable impartiality, and he does ample justice to that high-minded administrator, Lord Anglesey.’—Athenæum.
