ny book of the same aims and character that ever was written. Its merits
are that it is written in a lively and agreeable style, that it implies a
great deal of physical pluck, that no page of it fails to show an acute
and highly intelligent observer, that it stimulates the imagination as
well as the judgment of the reader, and that it is on perhaps the most
interesting subject that can attract an Englishman who cares about his
country."_--_SATURDAY REVIEW_.

other work professing to give the history of a political principle occurs
to us, except the slight contributions to the history of representative
government that is contained in a course of M. Guizof's lectures.... The
history of the development of a principle is at least as important as the
history of a dynasty, or of a race."_--_Saturday Review_.
