He shows a remarkable knowledge of contemporary literature, and his book may claim to be a true history of popular opinion."--_Spectator_. "Mr. Hertz's book is one which no student of imperial developments can neglect. It is lucid, fair, thorough, and convincing."--_Glasgow Herald_.

The story which he tells has its lesson for us."--_The Times_. "Both the ordinary reader and the academic mind will get benefit from this well-informed and well-written book."--_Scotsman_. "Mr. Hertz has made excellent use of contemporary literature, and has given us a very valuable and thorough critique.

"The memoir ... tenderly and skilfully written by the 'sister and friend,' tells a story, which well deserved to be told, of a life rich in aspirations, interests, and friendships, and not without its measure of actual achievement."--_Tribune_. "This geographical sense and his feeling for politics give colour to all he wrote."--_Times_.

The two together have more stuff in them than many big books of recent biography."--_Westminster Gazette_. The Memoir may be had separately, price 2s. 6d. net.
