The Making of Modern England by Gilbert Slater (1917 Hardcover)

Format: Hardcover Condition: Acceptable The cover has several tears and stains. The flyleaves have been cut out, and the binding is starting to come loose. There are occasional notes in the text. Contents Description: Here, for the first time, we have a survey of recent English history, given in short compass by a competent scholar, in which the economic facts are treated as of equal historical importance with the changes of cabinets and parliamentary parties. But more especially, one is grateful for the story of democracy, which is the main theme of the book. - from the prefatory note
