Abstract

characterise as 'elegant and readable ... devoid of the jargon and illiterate gobbledegook which mars much modem academic writing.' The general quality of the book is very but some contributors deserve high, locates recent civil service special mention. John Greenaway's chapter change within a broader historical perspective, focusing particularly on the determining factors behind, and beneficiaries of, the Northcote-Trevelyan reforms, the 'national efficiency' reforms of 1906-26 and the 'new right' reforms of the 1980s and 1990s. Michael Hunt returns to one of the themes of the book he edited with Richard Chapman in 1987, and offers an informed discussion of citizenship and freedom of information. Barry O'Toole's erudite dissection of the ethic of public service applies the intellectual idealism of TH Green (itself a guiding influence on the work of Richard Chapman) to the 'so called reforms' which have transformed the civil service in recent years. Stimulating and provocative, O'Toole's essay leaves the reader with no easy options, and compels serious thought about the entire direction in which the British civil service is moving. John A.
