Editorial Reviews

"Keep it in print! American students can read it. Still by far the best value for money..."—Professor Daniel A. Baugh, Cornell University

"Written in a style of great clarity and persuasiveness, this little book presents the traditional Whig view at its best—the view of Locke, Burke, and Macaulay."—The Manchester Guardian

"No one is better qualified to write of the revolution of 1689 than Professor Trevelyan. In the crisp, brisk narrative...one acknowledges the hand of a master historian."—Garrett Mattingly, Saturday Review of Literature
