’Not only one of the most meritorious, but one of the most interesting, biographical works that have appeared on the subject of the ex-Premier....  It furnishes a picture from many points original and striking; it makes additions of value to the evidence on which we are entitled to estimate a great public character; and it gives the reader’s judgment exactly that degree of guidance which is the function of a calm, restrained, and judicious historian.’—­Birmingham Daily Post.
