TWELVE ENGLISH STATESMEN.
$^*$*$^*$A Series of Short Biographies, not designed to be a complete roll of famous Statesmen, but to present in historic order the lives and work of those leading actors in our affairs who by their direct influence have left an abiding mark on the policy, the institutions, and the position of Great Britain among States.
WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR By Edward A. Freeman, D.C. L., LL.D., Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford. TIMES:— "Gives with great picturesqueness . . . the dramatic incidents of a memorable career far removed from our times and our manner of thinking."
HENRY II. By Mrs. J. R. Green. TIMES:—"It is delightfully real and readable, and in spite of severe compression has the charm of a mediaeval romance."

PITT. By Lord Rosebery.
PEEL. By J. R. Thursfield, M.A., late Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford. DAILY NEWS:—"A model of what such a book should be. We can give it no higher praise than to say that it is worthy to rank with Mr. John Morley's Walpole in the same series."
