Simpkinson, C. H. Thomas Harrison, regicide and major-general. [*]$1.50. Dutton.
“In this life of Thomas Harrison there is to be found the history of the leader of the Fifth-Monarchy men and one of the ablest soldiers of the seventeenth century.... Mr. Simpkinson’s book shows how noble a character this regicide had. Harrison was as brave on the scaffold as he was at Marston Moor or at Appleby Bridge, where his personal bravery saved the army.”—Acad.
“Had the story been written with a clearer style and with fewer digressions it would have been more valuable.”
