J.M.  ROBERTSON. Introduction to English Politics. 1900. 10s. 6d. net.

Critical from the Rationalistic as Acton is from the Catholic point of view.  See esp.  Part V., “The Fortunes of the Lesser European States,” which after a preliminary essay on Nationality, which the author declares to be “essentially a metaphysical dream,” while “the motive spirit in it partakes much of the nature of superstition,” goes on to give a valuable account of the development of the “small nations,” Holland, Switzerland, Portugal, etc., by way of showing their value to civilisation as a whole.

Lectures on the History of the Nineteenth Century.  Cambridge. 1902. 4s. 6d. net.

A series of studies, by recognised authorities, of various aspects of modern European history.  Chap. ii., on “The International History of Europe during the Nineteenth Century,” by the late Professor Westlake, is suggestive on the topic of nationality; chaps. v. and vi., on Germany, by a German professor, are interesting as giving the German view of unification by Bismarck; and chaps. ix. and x., on “The Struggle for Italian Unity,” and “Mazzini,” by Mr. Bolton King, are especially valuable.

H.A.L.  FISHER. The Republican Tradition in Europe. 1911. 6s. net.

Traces the development of the republican, as distinct from the nationalist tradition, in modern Europe, and therefore forms a useful complement to other writers.  Chap. ix., on “Italy,” and chap. x., on “The German Revolution,” are excellent accounts of “1848” in those two countries.
