Mr Whitman has regarded his subject as "in the main the story of the
dominant House of Hapsburg, with its centre of interest based upon
the events of those particular provinces which now comprise the
Cisleithanic Empire; those provinces which in the present day form
the southeastward wedge of Teuton blood and civilization, against
the extension of which the Slavonic Bohemian and the Magyar Hun-
garian are waging a passive but determined resistance."

"Beyond question, the best history of France ever published in the
small space of two volumes... The author was an Imperialist and
a Roman Catholic; but while he was Minister of Instruction under
Napoleon III., he was bitterly attacked by the Catholics, because his
religious earnestness was not quite sufficiently pronounced in his his-
torical works. His individual views are never offensively conspicuous,
but are always given with a moderation that bespeaks the approbation
of the judicious reader." C. K. Adams.

"Written with especial effort to awaken the attention and interest of in-

delineation of character and the descriptions of events. The impor-
tant facts, and the great personages of French history, are made the
subjects of especially careful study. The chapter on Charlemagne and
his government is one of the most successful descriptions of the labors
of that great man anywhere to be found... The best popular his-
tory of France we have." C. K. Adams.
