Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Party Leaders and English Parties, Vol. 1 of 2: From Walpole to Peel; Including a Review of the Political History of the Last One Hundred and Fifty Years It is, perhaps, hardly too much to say that, to the "general reader," the political history of England during the last century and a half is a "sealed book." He knows, of course, that that eventful period has witnessed many political changes and some great legislative reforms; but of their details, or of the mode in which they have taken place and been carried out, it is safe to assert that he knows little or nothing. The various positions assumed by our two great political parties have never been clearly understood by him; for in our longer histories such topics as these are generally overlaid or obscured by the prominence and fulness given to the narrative of wars and negotiations, social movements and commercial progress.
