That earlier work was originally published by Messrs Cassell \u0026amp; Co. in two volumes. It was reprinted, first by them, secondly by Messrs Chapman \u0026amp; Hall, in a single volume. Into that re-issue of his England: Its People, Polity, \u0026amp; Pursuits (the labour of revision being much lightened by the obliging help of Mr Francis Drummond), the author introduced certain references to social or legislative changes effected since the original edition of the work appeared. Without organic disturbance of its plan, \u0026amp; risk of consequent confusion to the reader, it would have been impossible to bring down that book to the year 1897. The writer does not in the following pages pre-suppose any knowledge of his former book on the part of the readers of his present one. He has, however, held himself absolved from the duty of repeating in this book minute accounts of institutions fully described in its predecessor. Such repetition seemed the more undesirable because the earlier book is still in wide circulation here; while it has been translated into several European languages, \u0026amp; has been adopted as a text book in the higher grade State schools of Germany,[1] \u0026amp; of other countries. The method of workmanship adopted in Social Transformations of the Victorian Age is identical with that pursued in the case of England, Etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new book being, like its predecessor, not a history, but a series of different views from a common standpoint, the sketches of national life \u0026amp; character as well as of national institutions at work, have in all cases been made from personal observation; supplemented by the assistance of the highest experts in their different departments to whom the writer had access.","brand":"Denise Henry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079809155312,"sku":"2940013978478","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013978478_p0.jpg?v=1763598294","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013978478","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
