A new edition in three volumes of a work which originally appeared in two parts. It is issued now with a new preface, a portrait of the author, and some revision and rearrangement. “The special features of this history are the fullness with which it brings out English sentiment before and during the Revolutionary period, and the clearness with which it presents the Revolutionary struggle as a part of the great fight for Liberalism in England.” (Outlook.)
“It is certain that, as far as the revision goes, the author has left uncorrected several mistakes of which he had been duly apprised, in all three volumes.”

“[The revisions] have been performed in a truly careful and judicious manner. “As our recent notice called attention to some uncorrected errors, it is only fair to say that many others in part I. have been expelled.””

“This may be described as a lyrical-dramatic fragment ... the theme of which is drawn from those Graal romances which furnished Wagner’s great music-drama.... The writer’s task is to make us feel the dread and impressiveness of a curse denounced by ... the Graal and its vague ... priestly knighthood; and to move us by the sorrows and interior struggles of the dim figures affected by that curse.”—Acad.
“Mr. Trevelyan has poetic feeling and a measure of accomplishment. But his resources are not equal to the ambitious demands of poetic passion and imagination which he makes upon them.”
