Ten Englishmen of the Nineteenth Century
James Richard Joy
- The object of this work is to set with as much clearness as possible the more important facts in the history of England in the nineteenth century. We have chosen to do this through the medium of biography, in the belief that the lives of a few representative men would present better opportunities for interesting and effective treatment than an historical narrative. Contents: England in the Nineteenth Century; Wellington, and the Struggle with Napoleon; George Canning and European Affairs; Stephenson and the Railway; Russell and Parliamentary Reform; Cobden and Free Trade; Peel and Administrative Reforms; Shaftesbury and Philanthropy; Lord Palmerston and Foreign Relations; Gladstone and the Irish Question; and Beaconsfield and the British Empire.
