NEW YORK SUN:

"Mr. Hood's biography is a positive boon to the mass of readers, because it presents a more correct view of the great soldier than any of the shorter lives published, whether we compare it with Southey's, Guizot's, or even Forster's."

PACIFIC CHURCHMAN, San Francisco:

"The fairest and most readable of the numerous biographies of Cromwell."

GOOD LITERATURE, New York:

"If all these books will prove as fresh and readable as Hood's 'Cromwell,' the literary merit of the series will be as high as the price is low."

NEW YORK DAILY GRAPHIC:

"Hood's 'Cromwell' is an excellent account of the great Protector. Cromwell was the heroic servant of a sublime cause. A complete sketch of the man and the period."

"A valuable biography of Cromwell, told with interest in every part and with such condensation and skill in arrangement that prominent events are made clear to all."

SCHOOL JOURNAL, New York:

"Mr. Hood's style is pleasant, clear, and flowing, and he sets forth and holds his own opinion well."
