Britain’s war against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France is the topic of this panoramic 1911 work of history.  The author’s thumbnail portraits of George III, William Pitt, Henry Dundas, Edmund Burke, William Grenville, the Duke of York, George Canning, and others have been praised for their insight and use of the telling personal detail. At the time, this was considered the most controversial installment of the Ford Lectures.
