FAY, CHARLES RYLE. Life and labour in the nineteenth century. *$8 Macmillan 331.8
(Eng ed 20–16219)
“Though the title sounds as if ‘Life and labor in the nineteenth century’ were solely on economics, and though economics gets plenty of treatment, Captain Fay’s lectures cover the political history of England and its international adventures. It is only the fact that wars are not described that prevents it from being a history of England in the nineteenth century.” (N Y Times) “The volume contains the substance of the author’s lectures, delivered at Cambridge in 1919, to students of economics among whom were officers of the Royal navy and students from the United States army.” (The Times [London] Lit Sup)
