PRESS COMMENTS.

"We are acquainted with no historical work which more clearly, succinctly, and suggestively deals with a peculiarly complex story."

The Dublin Daily Express.

"It is not too much to say that Mr. Rose's treatment of this difficult and complicated subject shows a grasp of essentials and a soundness of judgment that are decidedly uncommon. Nor is it easy to overpraise the nicety of judgment in the selection of authorities which is a remarkable feature of Mr. Rose's book." — Saturday Review.

"We strongly recommend the book, not merely to the student, but to more advanced readers."- Bookman.

"In dealing with this vast subject Mr. Rose has read widely, and has used his reading well; his information is considerable; his writing is accurate and thoughtful; and his volume contains a trustworthy summary of the history of the times based on the most recent knowledge at our command. Mr. Rose's narrative is of great interest, and it gains in space and freedom as it proceeds."

Guardian.

"Mr. J. H. Rose's volume in the new Cambridge Historical Series is quite a model in its way. His subject is the European Revolution caused by the French Revolution or coincident with it, and his treatment is at once interesting in its narrative of events and helpful in its generalizations from the comparatively unfamiliar point of view. It is a profound relief after Thiers, Dumas, and Masson to take up his book." - Literary World.

PRESS COMMENTS.

'The volume is characterized by clear, comprehensive statements, and is permeated by the philosophical spirit. A chronological table and full index greatly enhance its value." — Boston Daily Advertiser.

"A scholarly survey of the industrial history of England."

-Philadelphia Press.

"The story is a most interesting one, and is told with a comprehensiveness and a fulness that will make the volume indispensable to the student of political or social economy." Boston Evening Transcript.

'It is a compact book, but the fruits of a great deal of research are crowded into it, and it is a treasury of information and a clear and readable narrative. We commend it heartily."- Congregationalist.

[ocr errors]

'A very lucid and instructive summary of economical history."

-London Times.

As an introduction to a vast subject of the highest possible importance, which is too often neglected by historians, this little work, which is a remarkable specimen in skilful condensation, will be helpful to many."

- London Daily News.
