“The book ... is evidently an attempt to combine what may be called the Green and the Traill methods. The early part of his volume might be termed an abstract of Gardiner, while the latter is merely a summary of Macaulay with improvements. This strict restriction to the political history in the latter part of the book is especially unfortunate. Altogether, Mr. Trevelyan’s treatment of Cromwell is scarcely illuminating, either on the military or the religious side. Allowing for his plan, is carried out with a skill and ability worthy of his family tradition, but the plan, I must still contend, is a faulty one.” Joseph Jacobs.

“Succeeds in interpreting the period ... in terms at once attractive and convincing. His style is that of the picturesque school, his treatment that of the philosophic, a combination calculated to produce excellent results. This must be accounted a work of high merit, embodying the results of the latest research and developed along sound lines.”
