Book Description
THE cause of Poland owed no effective aid to British statesmanship, from the time of Pitt's passivity in 1792 to that of Lord Russell's non possumus in 1863; and there was very cold comfort in the words which, as we learn from Mr. Buckle's new volume, Disraeli used in the house of commons: "If the partition of Poland was a great crime, it was a crime shared by the Polish people, as their national existence could not have been destroyed without some faults on their side.' Students of history who have contented themselves with this kind of self-complacent judgement and the grain of truth which it contains, will do well to read Dr. Lord's monograph, and more especially the introductory part of it, which deals with 'the unfortunate historic evolution of the Polish constitution', together with the very remarkable chapters treating of the beginnings of national revival, and of the attempted realization of them in the constitution of the third of May. Dr. Lord justly holds that the history of the second partition of Poland, which is his proper theme (although he carries it forward in some respects to the much debated ground of the negotiations which ended in the third partition), cannot be understood when viewed as a mere episode in the history of the revolutionary war, or as a result of the transactions (the reverse of complete) between the eastern powers down to the time of the Russo-Prussian Convention of January 1793. To these transactions Dr. Lord has given full attention; and those who can call to mind the controversies of a past generation, in which the conclusions of Sybel's great book on the revolutionary epoch were impugned by Hüffer and others and defended by the eminent author with no measured scorn, will readily acknowledge the use made in the present volume of the new sources, and of the new historical works, Polish and Russian in particular, which have been open to the use of its writer. He has thus produced one of the most notable diplomatic studies that have been recently published, and one which does great credit to the historical school of which he is a member. --The English Historical Review, Volume 21
