Chapter IV: Of Provincial and Communal Institutions (17)

Text size

"Almost all the distinguished writers who have treated of
English history are advocates. Mr. Hallam and Sir James
Mackintosh alone are entitled to be called judges. But the
extreme austerity of Mr. Hallam takes away something from
the pleasure of reading his learned, eloquent and judicious
writings. He is a judge, but a hanging judge, the Page or
Buller of the High Court of Literary Justice. His black cap
is in constant requisition. … Sir James, perhaps, erred a
little on the other side. He liked a maiden assize and came
away with white gloves, after sitting in judgment on
batches of the most notorious offenders."
_Lord Macaulay, Sir James Mackintosh (Essays)._

MAHON, Lord (afterwards Earl Stanhope).
History of England, comprising the reign of Queen Anne
until the Peace of Utrecht, 1701-1713.
London: J. Murray. 1870.

History of England from the Peace of Utrecht [1713]
to the Peace of Versailles [1783].
London: J. Murray. 7 volumes.

"Though the volumes of Lord Mahon are distinguished by
research and varied learning, by a spirit at once candid,
patient, and investigating—though his lordship possesses
considerable ability as a narrator, and is a master of a
style at once easy, flowing, and thoroughly English, yet
with all his calm discrimination, and all his spirit of
truth and justice, there 18 something of the leaven of old
Toryism about his tone of thought."
_Fraser's Magazine, volume 51, page 128._

Life of William Pitt. 2d edition.

Martineau. It gives, however, the most complete account we
have of the thirty years following the Napoleonic wars.

MASSEY, WILLIAM.
History of England during the reign of George III.
2d edition, revised and corrected.
London: Longmans. 1865. 4 volumes.

"Mr. Massey is clear, succinct and nervous. He is a careful
and conscientious inquirer, who searches into original and
contemporary documents, and who does not take facts or
adopt opinions at second hand. Mr. Massey is not a decided
party man, though a Liberal in the best sense of the word."
_Fraser's Magazine,
volume 51, page 144._

"The work is dispassionate and impartial in its tone."
_J. B. Mullinger,
Introduction to the Study of English History,

often highly interesting study of all the contemporary
movements—religious, political, and social—which may be
supposed to have influenced the poet's genius or to have
moulded the national history."
_S. R. Gardiner and J. B. Mullinger,
Introduction to the study of English History,
page 336._

History of Prussia Under Frederick the Great, 1740-1756.
Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 1888. 2 volumes.

In the preface to these last two volumes of his work, which
he did not live to complete, Professor Tuttle remarked:
"The great name of Carlyle is associated so commandingly
with the reign of Frederic the Great that any other writer,
who ventures to treat the same subject, is bound to make
good in advance his claim to a hearing. … But my own faith
was shaken when during a residence of several years in
Berlin I discovered how inadequate was Carlyle's account,
and probably also his knowledge, of the working system of
the Prussian government in the last century,—a system which
it is absolutely necessary to understand if one desires to
know as well why Frederic was able to accomplish what he
did, as why his successors failed to accomplish what they
undertook.

"About a third of the work is given to Richelieu; about a
third (six chapters out of twenty) to the Fronds; and three
chapters at the end are of a general nature, upon the
administration, society, and religion. The reader lays
aside the book with a higher estimate of Mazarin's ability
and character. The style is for the most part excellent—
serious and perspicuous in discussion and in the
delineation of character, animated in narration."

In Mr. Lowell's view, the year 1789 is a date which "marks
the outbreak in legislation and politics of ideas which had
already been working for a century, and which have changed
the face of the civilized world." His book is a thoughtful
study of those ideas in their rise and development.

MARBOT, Baron de.
Memoirs [1793-1814];
translated by A. J. Butler.
London: Longmans, Green & Co. 1892. 2 volumes.

"It is as the vivacious exponent of the spirit of the
Grande Armée that he possesses the most serious interest
for the historical student. Others have chronicled the
deeds of that army, others have contributed to its
anecdotic history, others have surpassed him in the skilful
narration of its military achievements; but no one except
Marbot has so unwittingly but so truly revealed its spirit
in all its heroism and its weakness."

Gouverneur Morris succeeded Jefferson as American Minister
to Franca in 1792; but he had been in France most of the
time since 1789, and he remained until 1794. His diary of
the events of those terrible years is the most valuable
record that has come down from them.

New York: Macmillan & Co. 1892. 2 volumes.

In the two volumes which have appeared, Mr. Stephens has
fully justified his undertaking to write a history of the
French Revolution based on the abundant new material that
has come to light since Thiers, Carlyle Sybel, Michelet and
Mignet wrote.

SYBEL, HEINRICH VON.
History of the French revolution:
translated from the German by W. C. Perry,
London: John Murray. 4 volumes.

relations to European politics.

they appeared, containing little that was not well
understood before.

Paris in December, 1851: the coup d' état;

The histories of M. Thiers have been losing their early
reputation under criticisms which challenge their accuracy
and question their spirit. He wrote as a champion of the
Revolution and an admirer of the "glory" of the Napoleonic
period,—not always in the temper of a scrupulous historian.

FINLAY, GEORGE.

"George Finlay, more perhaps than any other modern writer,
belongs to the same class as these earlier historians who
began a story of remote ages and carried it on into times
and scenes in which they were themselves spectators and
actors. … While Grote put forth volume after volume amid
the general applause of scholars, Finlay toiled on at his
thankless task, amid every form of neglect and
discouragement, till he made a few here and there
understand that there was a Roman Empire of the East. Full
of faults his book is, in form, in matter, in temper; but
it is a great work all the same."

"He paints the confused scenes of the period he has
chosen to describe—its great and little passions, its
atrocious and its noble men, its terrible sieges and
picturesque festivals, bridals in the midst of
massacres, its fights upon the sea and under the sea,
its torture-fires and blood-baths—in vivid colors, with
a bold free hand, and with a masterly knowledge of
effect. Whatever was dramatic in those fierce conflicts
he has seized; whatever is peculiar or striking in
character, he has penetrated; whatever is significant of
time or place, he appropriates: while he has never
forgotten the great purpose of history, which is the
illustration of moral power."
