Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“As essays, these volumes, apart from certain evidence of haste, would hold a high place; as serious history they do not appear, to the present writer, at least, to attain to the standard of historical writing set by Mr. Rose in his other work, nor indeed that reached by other work in the same field.” William E. Lingelbach.
