marred by errors
THIS BOOK IS THE PRODUCT OF EXHAUSTIVE RESEARCH AND IS VERY DETAILED, PARTICULARLY IN REGARD TO POLITICAL HISTORY. HOWEVER, IT CONTAINS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. MOST OF THEM ARE UNGRAMMATICAL COMMAS BUT THERE ARE ALSO MISSING COMMAS, MISUED DASHES, SENTENCE FRAGMENTS AND OTHER ERRORS. MR. ISRAEL AND OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. READERS WHO WANT A GRAMMATICAL, WELL WRITTEN AND LIVELY ALTERNATIVE WOULD DO WELL TO READ JOHN LOTHROP MOTLEY'S BOOKS.
