Originally delivered as the Rede Lecture in the Senate House, Cambridge, in 1910 and published the same year, this book addresses the parallels between the English and American civil wars in order to bring out the special characteristics of each. The similarities between the two wars were commented upon during the American civil war but the conflicts differ from one another in several important ways, which Firth highlights. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in comparative history.
