What Critics say of The Cambridge Modern History:

u A work of great value. It may justly claim to have no rival in English.” — The Atlantic Monthly , Boston.

“ There can be no question about the great value of the work — in fact, it is in- valuable to every historical student.” — Philadelphia Public Ledger.

“ As this great work, now nearing completion, goes steadily on its way, it gathers in each successive volume fresh contributors. Some of them are comparatively new to us, and probably to most readers, but all are pervaded by the business-like atten- tion to careful statement which characterized their predecessors in earlier volumes.” — The Nation .

“ Attention has been called more than once or twice in the Eagle's book pages to the consummate scholarship displayed in the preparation of the monographs com- posing these volumes, the thoroughness of treatment, the breadth of the historical perspective, and the even-handed liberality with which all questions have been discussed. It is a wonderful history.” — Brooklyn Eagle.

“ A work of such lasting value and solid scholarship must become a standard authority.” — Athenaeum.
