Lecky, William Edward Hartpole. History of
European Morals and an autograph signed letter.
Longmans, Green, and Co., London, 1894. 2 volumes,
12mo, brown morocco, gilt embossed to the front
with the badge of St Columba’s College, marbled
edges, endpapers and pastedowns; together with a
signed autograph letter, May 5, 1900, from Lecky, on
Atheneum notepaper.
William Edward Hartpole (1838-1903) was educated
at Kingstown, Armagh, at Cheltenham College, and
at Trinity College, Dublin.
In 1861 he published Leaders of Public Opinion in
Ireland, containing brief sketches of Jonathan Swift,
Henry Flood, Henry Grattan and Daniel O’Connell,
originally anonymous, republished in 1871; the
essay on Swift, rewritten and amplified, appeared
again in 1897 as an introduction to an edition of
Swift’s works. Two surveys followed: A History of
the Rise and Influence of Rationalism in Europe (2
vols., 1869), and A History of European Morals from
Augustus to Charlemagne (2 vols., 1869). Lecky
then concentrated on his major work, A History of
England during the Eighteenth Century, Vols. i. and
ii. of which appeared in 1878, and Vols. vii. and viii.,
which completed the work, in 1890. A History of
Ireland in the Eighteenth Century can be regarded
as the first attempt at an objective history of the
age.
