PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.

TO PREVENT any misconception which may arise from the presence of two names upon the title-page of the 'Civil Service History of England,' it is thought desirable to state distinctly that the work is now issued for the first time. Towards the close of 1869, the Author, Mr. F. A. White, a gentleman of long experience in tuition and the preparation of candidates for examination, submitted his MS. to the publisher, who considered that, with some modification and revision, it might advantageously be produced in the educational series commenced by the Civil Service Geography.' He therefore placed it in the hands of the present Editor, whom he knew to be conversant with the plan and details of that manual; and the 'Civil Service History of England' is offered to the public in the hope that it may prove in all respects worthy of its predecessor. With a few unimportant exceptions, the Author's scheme has been strictly preserved. It should, however, be stated that the textual alterations and additions throughout have been extensive, and that a considerable portion of the second part is wholly editorial.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

IN RESPONDING to the sudden call for a second issue of the 'Civil Service History of England,' the Editor has taken the opportunity of completing it to the latest date, and of supplying some few omissions to which attention had been drawn by different reviewers. He has to express his thanks for various valuable suggestions which have reached him from private sources, and of which he has, as far as possible, availed himself.

August 1871.
