“Mr Buckle has concluded his task, and produced one of the greatest political biographies in the language. For the general reader the work is, of course, too long; and even the student of history might have dispensed with some of the letters and some of the extracts from speeches, which nearly always weary.”

“Mr Buckle’s detailed narrative of Disraeli’s handling of the eastern question between 1876 and 1878, which is of course the main feature of his closing volumes, is full of interest and instruction for the present generation. Disraeli’s letters abound in good things, access to which is facilitated by an excellent index.”

“On the whole, everybody who is not an extreme partisan will recognize the honesty, the lucidity and ability with which Mr Buckle has stated his case.”

Mr Thompson’s moving away from Wressle came as the direct result of his being dropped from the Urban District Council. Shorn of the privileges of public life, he felt that he couldn’t carry on as of yore, and so decided to take up farming in real earnest. He therefore bought a farm in Muckleby and moved his faintly protesting wife and daughters there. Once settled in the little village, he felt that he should use his influence for good, and so undertook to destroy old superstitions and to revive old country customs which were falling into disuse. His schemes for carrying these purposes out are the foundation of the story, although the romances of his daughters Helen and Maude have a large share in it as well.
