    Reviews & endorsements

    'A reference book as well as a continuous history. The author and publishers deserve congratulations for the ingenuity with which they have solved the problem of combining the two very different kinds of approach. This they have done by offering descriptive entries alongside interpretative essays and the whole volume is rounded off by an index and a Who's Who of the good and the great in British history. It is obvious from the calibre of the contributors that this is no mere potbolier.' History Today
