own credit, I could not find one man of the lot.

EXTRACTS FROM R E V IEW S OF T H IS WORK.
Times, Sept. 7, 1850.
I An extraordinary work, which has earned for itself a lasting place in the literature of the
country, and within a few years found innumerable readers in every part of the globe There
is no hook extant that treats so well of the period to the illustration of which Mr Alison's
labours have been devoted. I t exhibits great knowledge, patient research, indefatigable in-
dustry, and vast power.”
Edinburgh Review.
“ There i3 much in Mr Alison’s history of the French Revolution against which we intend to
record our decided protest; and there are some parts of it which we shall feel compelled to
notice with strong disapprobation. We, therefore, hasten to preface our less favourable
remarks by freely acknowledging that the present work is, upon the whole, a valuable addition
to European literature, that it is evidently compUed with the utmost care, and that its narration,
so far as we can judge, is not perverted by the slightest partiality.”
From Preface of the German Translation hy D. Ludwig Meyer.
“ Alison’s History of Europe, and the states connected with it, is one of the most important
works which literature has produced. Years have elapsed since any historical work has created
such an epoch as that of Alison: his sources of information and authorities are of the richest
and most comprehensive description. Though his opinions are on the Conservative side he
allows every party to speak for itself, and unfolds with a master’s hand how far institutions
make nations great, and mighty, and prosperous.”
