Contemporary history of the mid-19th century in Great Britain. A history spanning from the accession of Queen Victoria to the general election of 1880, written by Justin McCarthy, a prominent author, historian, and member of the Irish parliament where he chaired the Anti-Parnellite wing of the Nationalist Party.
Easily and delightfully written, and on the whole eminently sane and moderate, these volumes form a brilliant piece of narrative from a Liberal standpoint.
