Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 4: From the Conclusion of the Great War in 1815 An author who undertakes to write a long history is exposed at the outset of his task to a considerable dilemma. If he delay its publication till the whole is finished, he is more likely to produce a work calculated to deter readers from its bulk than to attract them from its completeness. If, on the contrary, he decide on publishing it in instalments, he is liable to the charge that his narrative is imperfect, and that he has omitted facts an account of which he has perhaps merely deferred. In the present work an attempt has been made to avoid this difficulty by making each instalment of it, as far as possible, a complete whole. The period with which the author had to deal lent itself to this treatment, and the object which he had in view was promoted by this arrangement. It was the purpose of the three first volumes of this History to group the events with which they were concerned in intelligible sequence, and to trace them to their true causes.
