English Press and the Civil War." Mr. Hamilton was at work on this
subject, as a graduate student, but left Stanford University before
completing his thesis. His notes have been of considerable value, both
for suggested citations from the English Press, and for points of
interpretation.]

back her erring children, or give them a prince under whom they could
secure a monarchical form of government. There is no doubt about the
