WILLIAM PENN; an Historical Biography, from New Sources. With an extra Chapter on "The Macaulay Charges." By William Hepworth Dixon. With a Portrait.

"Within the compass of an octavo volume Mr. Dixon has compressed a great variety of facts, many original, and all skilfully arranged, so as to produce an authentic moral portrait of his hero. The literary merits of the volume include great research, and a narrative at once consecutive and vivid.... It makes an undeniable exposure of blunders committed by Mr. Macaulay in reference to its hero, which will go far to compromise his character as a historian."—Athenæum.
