“To say that this history is interesting would be doing it less than justice. It is a work of high value as well, and will take rank amongst those which the historian of any reign, from Henry VIII. to Victoria, will naturally turn to for information, and from which he will seldom fail to derive material assistance in his own researches.”—Glasgow Herald.

44 The interest of Mr. Law’s volumes is historical, picturesque and antiquarian. To all classes of readers it thus makes appeal. An animated panorama of history is laid before us, the details given being those precisely of which ‘your orthodox historian ’ is most chary.”—Notes and Queries.
