“He has industry and a judicial temperament which, though not always quite unbiassed in regard to individuals enables him to survey contemporary politics without evidence of partisanship. He has, moreover, a lucid narrative style and a happy gift of choosing apt and trenchant phrases. Not all his authorities are first-rate; but he uses them nimbly. It is very much to be regretted that a book which represents so much sound labour and has so much permanent value, in the assistance which it will be to all future writers on this period, should be so marred by petty faults.”
