    About this ebook

    This 1909 history focuses on the aftermath of the death of King George III in 1820.  Said a contemporary reviewer in The New Age: "Mr. Toynbee has . . . given to history that touch of reality and atmosphere which the ponderous historian cannot weave around his characters and narrative.  A valuable book of history; a volume of national gossip."
