“As before, Dr. Hill’s tone is admirably impartial and his treatment scholarly. But the promise of that volume is hardly so well fulfilled in the matter of narrative, which is somewhat lacking in the ease and freshness exhibited in the account of the crude diplomacy of the earlier centuries, and is, it seems to us, overburdened with detail.”

“Misstatements of detail here and there, bear witness of shortcoming. It represents extraordinarily wide reading in both primary and derived sources; its matter is set forth always conscientiously and often effectively. It may be read with profit.” Earle W. Dow.

“The reader receives the impression that Dr. Hill selected his subject, set himself to work up the necessary background of history, and found this so novel and engrossing that he felt it must be presented, and as a result, lost sight of his central theme.” Guy Stanton Ford.
