“While we refuse to admire Mr Trevelyan’s hero, we have nothing but praise for Mr Trevelyan. The note of urbanity is never absent from his writing; his style is free from the exuberance, the piling up of effects by antitheses and adjectives, and the lack of humour, which mar the earlier books of his distinguished father.”

“The author, except in his occasional Whiggish outbursts, writes as a sober historian and states the facts fairly.”

“Within its own limits and for its own public the work could not be better done, and will confirm and establish its author’s reputation as a biographer and historian. It is brilliantly written, and the right reader, especially the lover of English political history, will not willingly lay it down till he has drunk his cup of pleasure to the last drop. It is full, too, of interesting judgments on matters which only incidentally come within its scope.”
