those who have attempted to write any portion of the
wonderful history of England. Those who have not read any of these volumes
can scarcely appreciate, without the trial, how rich a treat is in store
for them."--_N. Y. Times._

"Since MACAULAY'S first volume, no historical work has appeared which, in
brilliance of style as well as in keen analysis of character and events,
can compare with the ten volumes of FROUDE'S HISTORY OF ENGLAND."--_New
York Independent._

"The style is excellent; sound, honest, forcible, singularly perspicuous
English; at times with a sort of picturesque simplicity, pictures dashed
off with only a few touches, but perfectly alive ... We have never to read
a passage twice.... We see the course of events day by day, not only the
more serious and important communications, but the gossip of the hour....
If truth and vivid reality be the perfection of history, much is to be
said in favor of this mode of composition."--_London Quarterly._
