The Partitions of Poland
(Second Edition)

“In this volume Lord Eversley gives us the story of Poland’s tragedy with his usual precision and compression, but adding the special charm of a delightfully fresh, sustained, and vivid handling.”

Westminster Gazette.

“Thoroughness, dignity, and a calm, even judgment are the conspicuous characteristics of Lord Eversley’s study of the sufferings and wrongs of Poland during the last 150 years.... It was always Lord Eversley’s way to pursue any theme with complete independence of judgment, and an assiduous determination to get back to facts, and this volume is a meritorious example of its author’s industry and intellectual vigour.”

Daily Telegraph.

MAHOMET THE CONQUEROR

From a medallion in the British Museum attributed to the Italian artist Gentile Bellini, who was invited by Mahomet to Constantinople, in 1480, and painted a portrait of him.

The portrait is in the Layard Collection.
