\n\n \u201cAN OLIVE-BRANCH IN IRELAND AND ITS HISTORY.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1910): 228.\n This review of An Olive Branch In Ireland and its History<\/i> , by William O\u2019Brien, concerns late nineteenth-century history, but the second review, of T. G. Tucker\u2019s Life in the Roman World of Nero and St. Paul,<\/i> focuses on ancient history. The reviewer complains that Tucker needs to see things from the people\u2019s viewpoint.\n \u201cHISTORY.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1910): 179.\n Three books are reviewed. Two are studies of townships: Buckinghamshire <\/i>by Clement Shorter and Theberton <\/i>by Henry Montagu Daughty. The reviewer is critical of the style of the first two, but a little more gracious with M. Betham-Edwards\u2019s French Men, Women, and Books<\/i>.\n \u201cLEADERS OF THE PEOPLE. STUDIES IN DEMOCRATIC HISTORY.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1910): 229.\n The reviewer notes that Joseph Clayton\u2019s book covers the main characters of democratic history (Becket, More, Tyler, and Pym), but does not pass judgment on the quality of the work. In the same book notice is Max Nordau\u2019s Interpretation of History<\/i>, a ‘brilliant book on the philosophy of history.”.\n \u201cTHE ROMANCE OF BOOKSELLING: A HISTORY FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1910): 231.\n This review of Frank Mumby\u2019s book observes that “to write the history of bookselling is very much to write the history of books, and to write the history of books is to write the history of human thought.\u2019 The reviewer is complimentary, saying that the book under review is more comprehensive than discriminating.\n \u201cA HISTORY OF RUSSIA.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 9, no. 0: (1911): 715\u201316.\n While complaining that Kluchevsky assumes his readers already know the facts, the reviewer is nevertheless complimentary to his book which begins with the origins of Russian history and deals with the land question. Also comments on the translation.\n \u201cA SHORT HISTORY OF THE SCOTTISH PEOPLE.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 10, no. 0: (1912): 738.\n The reviewer claims that MacMillan\u2019s work does not live up to its title because it spends too much time on the pre-1745 period. The reviewer believes this to be less important than the later \u2018evolutionary\u2019 period. The reviewer also complains that MacMillan does not discuss Burns or Scott enough and wastes time and space with James I.\n \u201cA CANDID HISTORY OF THE JESUITS.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1913): 332\u201333.\n The reviewer commends McCabe on writing an \u2018unbiased\u2019 history of the Jesuits and offers an overview of the main points. He also claims that the reason for the Jesuits\u2019 success has been secrecy and intrigue and attacks them for having accomplished nothing throughout history.\n \u201cA HISTORY OF ORATORY IN PARLIAMENT, 1213 TO 1913.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1913): 320.\n Although the reviewer claims that Craig\u2019s history reads like an obituary, he argues that this is not the fault of the author but the result of political evolution. He suggests that this book will be useful to those interested in reviving oratory.\n \u201cAMERICAN HISTORY AND ITS GEOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1913): 664\u201365.\n The reviewer praises Semple\u2019s work but cautions that the study of institutions, people, and economics is essential in history.\n \u201cTHE HISTORY OF ENGLISH PATRIOTISM.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1913): 324\u201325.\n Wingfield-Stratford\u2019s book considers English patriotism, beginning in the feudal period through to the Tudors and into the nineteenth century. The reviewer claims that although the author\u2019s work is bold and generous, it is too vague and flamboyant to be informational.\n \u201cA HISTORY OF PENAL METHODS.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1914): 422\u201323.\n The review claims that although the title suggests otherwise, Ives\u2019s book makes for good weekend reading. From the middle ages to the nineteenth century the author traces the history of prisons and the church.\n \u201cA HISTORY OF RUSSIA.\u201d English Review<\/i>, 0, no. 0: (1914): 429\u201330.\n The reviewer details the \u2018most interesting chapters\u2019 of Kluchevsky\u2019s work on Russian empire expansion, the nation\u2019s internal freedom, generally praising the book but complaining that is that there is no biography of the author.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
