Looking at the historical evolution of the central political
institutions, and the social milieu surrounding them, this book
helps to
explain Britain's pre-eminence during the nineteenth century.
W.D. Rubinstein is a Professor at University of Wales, Aberystwyth
"There is something refreshing about this approach-that students actually learn something about how the British Cabinet system works, for instance...very useful for students...Rubinstein has written an honest...useful...textbook for students taking nineteenth-century British history courses." --Teaching History "The discussion of Britain's industrial supremacy...is clear and up to date with recent research in the field, but the strength of this book lies with the author's brief and interesting biographical sketches of ministers and monarchs....an interesting book, a valuable successor to the older Oxford volumes by E.L. Woodward and R.C.K. Ensor covering the same period." --Albion
