I’ve got two book reviews up this week:

–The first, at National Review Online, is a review of William Anthony Hay’s Lord Liverpool: A Political Life, in which I take a look at the United Kingdom’s longest-serving Prime Minister and how he affected the development of Anglo-American conservatism.

–The second, at University Bookman, is of Carl Lawrence Paulus’s The Slaveholding Crisis: Fear of Insurrection and the Coming of the Civil War, where I discuss the author’s analysis of the effect of foreign emancipation and slave revolts on the slavery debate in America.
