Great Britain -- History -- Stuarts, 1603-1714; Montrose, James Graham, Marquis of, 1612-1650
_SATURDAY REVIEW._--"Is exactly what one of a series of
short biographies of English Statesmen ought to be."
ELIZABETH. By E. S. Beesly, M.A.
_MANCHESTER GUARDIAN._--"It may be recommended as the best
and briefest and most trustworthy of the many books that in
this generation have dealt with the life and deeds of that
'bright Occidental Star, Queen Elizabeth of happy memory.'"
OLIVER CROMWELL. By Frederic Harrison.
_TIMES._--"Gives a wonderfully vivid picture of events."
WILLIAM III. By H. D. Traill.
_SPECTATOR._--"Mr. Traill has done his work well in the
limited space at his command. The narrative portion is
clear and vivacious, and his criticisms, although sometimes
trenchant, are substantially just."
WALPOLE. By John Morley.
_ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE._--"It deserves to be read, not only
as the work of one of the most prominent politicians of
the day, but for its intrinsic merits. It is a clever,
thoughtful, and interesting biography."
PITT. By Lord Rosebery.
_TIMES._--"Brilliant and fascinating.... The style is
terse, masculine, nervous, articulate, and clear; the
grasp of circumstance and character is firm, penetrating,
luminous, and unprejudiced; the judgment is broad,
generous, humane, and scrupulously candid.... It is not
only a luminous estimate of Pitt's character and policy; it
is also a brilliant gallery of portraits. The portrait of
Fox, for example, is a masterpiece."
PEEL. By J. R. Thursfield, M.A.
_DAILY NEWS._--"A model of what such a book should be.
We can give it no higher praise than to say that it is
worthy to rank with Mr. John Morley's _Walpole_ in the same
series."
CHATHAM. By Frederic Harrison.
_ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE._--"It comes near the model of what
such a book should be."
