Oman wrote this 1895 history out of a conviction, as he writes in his introduction, ’that there may still be room for a single-volume history . . . which neither cramps the earlier annals of our island . . . nor expands the last two centuries into an unmanageable bulk.’ The
New York Times called his effort ‘extremely satisfactory.’
