Product Overview
Bagehot's Historical Essays, edited, with an introduction, by Norman St. John-Stevas.
Walter Bagehot (1828-1877), banker, economist, political thinker and commentator, critic and man of letters, was Victorian England's most versatile genius.
"One reason why Bagehot is such a brilliant delineator of the nineteenth-centruy political scene in Englad is that he never failed to connect political and social realities. He looked at the social facts and drew political conclusions." - Norman St. John-Stevas.
Topics featured in the essays include Disraeili, the American Constitution during the Civil War, Napolean, Lord Brougham, Home Rule in Ireland, and many more.
This book is in very good condition for its age. A first edition, this is a tight, compact paperback that would be very protable and easy to pick up for some quick reading.
