Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Constitutional History of England, Vol. 3 of 3: Since the Accession of George the Third
IN writing a continuation of Sir Erskine May's history, I have thought it best to adhere to the general arrange ment he adopted and, in his own words, to deviate from a strictly chronological narrative by devoting separate chapters to separate subjects. Some repetition is inseparable from this method. It has been my em deavour to avoid this as much as possible, not always, it is to be feared, with success. Another consequence has been that I have been obliged to leave out of its original place the supplementary chapter, containing a review of events between 1860 and 1870, which Sir Erskine May added to his later editions. But, in order to preserve as far as possible all the work of that eminent historian, the greater part of the supplementary chapter has been incorporated in the first and fourth chapters of the new volume.
