Originally published in 1967, this book discusses economic and
constitutional developments and religious history in relation to
their political consequences. Political theory is treated in two
sections: one is devoted to the ideas current from 1789 to the
'revolutionary year' of 1848, and another to those of the
Bismarckian era. The author used archival material to verify her
analysis of such complicated questions as the operation of the Holy
Roman Empire and Bismarckian foreign policy. Investigating the
disappearance of the old Germany, in which medieval institutions
still survived the book shows that the unification of Germany was
not the final climax of German history, it appeared, at the time,
to be.
This introductory survey covers all aspects of the period when
Britain was transformed into an industrial, urban society, with
political power in the hands of the middle class.
This seventh edition of 'Grant and Temperley' has been
comprehensively revised and rewritten by the distinguished
historian Agatha Ramm. Its coverage has been greatly extended , and
it now appears in two volume. This, volume one, covers the
nineteenth century 1789-1905 and the second the period 1905-1970.

Agatha Ramm's two volumes containing correspondence between
Gladstone and his Foreign Secretary, Lord Granville, conducted at
the height of British colonial power during the years 1868-1876,
were published originally in 1952. This correspondence is now
available in a single volume, and lends the mass of government
papers usually studied by historians 'the enlivening touch'. The
correspondence contained in the volumes is between two men who
wrote to each other privately, but about matters which were, as
Professor Matthew states in his introduction, 'the very stuff of
official diplomatic exchange'. It also deals with the period of
opposition during Disraeli's government of 1874-1880, as well as a
wide range of non-political matters, in which the two men were
active whether in or out of government. This Reprint gives the
reader a valuable insight into the two correspondents and will,
therefore, be of great interest to scholars of British history.
This Reprint contains private correspondence between Gladstone and his Foreign Secretary, Lord Granville, conducted during the years 1868-1876. The correspondence is between two men who wrote to each other privately, but about matters which were, as Professor Matthew states in his supplementary introduction, "the very stuff of official diplomatic exchange." Edited with full scholarly rigor the correspondence sheds light on the details of foreign policy at a time when Britain was at the height of her power, as well as on a wide range of nonpolitical matters.
