'The genius of Norman Hampson lies in his ability to ask simple though difficult questions and to present his answers in an accessible style and manner...This fine study is...not only of great value to close students of the late eighteenth century but it provides a valuable perspective for those wishing to understand present-day suspicions and misunderstandings.' - Martin Fitzpatrick, University of Wales, Aberystwyth
