THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY, K.G.
BY H. D. TRAILL, D.C.L.
SECOND EDITION. With Photogravure Portrait. Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
'It is a good thing when a book is written as a gentleman should write it; a good thing when it is written as a scholar should write it; a good thing when it is written as a man full of practical and theoretical knowledge of his subject should write it. But it is a very rare thing indeed to find, as we find here, all three merits in combination. The result is not only a remarkable criticism on a man; it is, in part of it at least, the best and ... the most impartial sketch of recent political history that we have recently seen.'--SAt.u.r.dAY REVIEW.
LORD PALMERSTON
BY THE MARQUIS OF LORNE.
SECOND EDITION. With Photogravure Portrait. Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
'The Marquis of Lorne's little book must be consulted by every student who wishes to get a thorough understanding of European history in the early part of the century. The doc.u.ments to which the author has obtained access ... are both interesting and authoritative.'--STANDARD.
THE EARL OF DERBY
BY GEORGE SAINTSBURY.
With Photogravure Portrait. Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
'A biography distinguished throughout by scrupulous fairness to its subject.... It is perhaps superfluous to add that the book is written with all Mr. Saintsbury's customary animation of style, and that it abounds in those shrewd and often humorous comments on men and affairs which enliven everything he writes.'
SAt.u.r.dAY REVIEW.
THE EARL OF ABERDEEN
BY SIR ARTHUR GORDON, G.C.M.G. &c.
With Portrait. Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
'This little book, unlike its companion volumes, contains original doc.u.ments of solid historical importance, and hitherto no authentic biography of Lord Aberdeen has existed, and the editor of the series certainly made a large demand upon Sir Arthur Gordon's good nature when he requested a biography compressed within the limits prescribed. The author, however, has surmounted all difficulties with admirable skill.'--ATHENaeUM.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL
BY STUART J. REID.
With Portrait. Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
The book contains a good deal of new material concerning the career of the last of the great Whig statesmen. The Dowager-Countess of Russell has given Mr. Reid access to her own journals, and has personally taken a lively interest in the book; while other relatives, intimate friends, and political a.s.sociates have lent their a.s.sistance.
