Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General Sketch of Political History From the Earliest Times History is apt to present itself, not only to the youthful mind, as a haphazard collection of events grouped round a few interesting personalities, the groups of events being unconnected. A stage in advance of this is reached when we realise that English or Roman or Greek history is the story of the progress of a nation in which interesting personalities play only a part. At a third stage we discover that all history is the story of the progress of the human race, in which individual nations play only a part; that the separate histories are not isolated, but act on and are acted on by others; that the history of one period is the outcome of the preceding ages, as the history of the future will be the outcome of the history of the present. This conception of the unity of history as a whole is needful to the right understanding of our own or any other specific history; and an acquaintance, sound so far as it goes, with the ground plan of general history is exceedingly helpful to the conception. The aim of this work is to present such a ground-plan 'sound so far as it goes, ' which may enlarge the horizon of the student without such a multiplication of details as will 'prevent him from seeing the wood for the trees.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Two Eras, Old and New: A Political and Historical Sketch of Our Government From 1789 to 1917 In this golden age of Virginia and the South, it was quite the fashion, however, to place a Northern man upon the national ticket, either as president or, more frequently, as vice-president, to preserve the balance of power and harmony between the sections. The older and younger Adams of Massachusetts, Van Buren of New York, Pierce of New Hampshire, and Buchanan of Pennsylvania, served these purposes as presidents; and George Clinton, Tompkins, Gerry, Dallas and F ill more, as vice-presidents. In this period of our history there was no West as we know it today. There were then but two great divisions, or sections, of our country: North and South. The for mer comprised all that part lying above Mason and Dixon's line; the latter, all that tract below it. In a word, the term North then meant the territory stretch ing from Pennsylvania northeast to and including New Hampshire; the term South, that extending southwest to and including Georgia. Pennsylvania, having six states beyond and six below her, was the pivot; hence her name of The Keystone State. The original thirteen colonies, or states, stretched along the Atlantic seaboard irregularly from New Hampshire in the extreme north east to Georgia, the extreme southwest, as stated.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ...from the treasuries of the two states. Certain parts of the customs duties are assigned to the common treasury; and such expenses as these are not sufficient to meet are defrayed by the contributions, Austria paying seventy, and Hungary thirty, per cent, of the sums needed. 600. The Economic relations of Austria and Hungary are regulated in the important matters of commerce, the money system, the management of railroads whose operation affects the interests of both kingdoms, the customs system, and the indirect taxation of industries by formal agreements of a semi-international character entered into every ten years, and brought into force by separate but of course identical laws passed in the national legislatures of both countries. Each state controls for itself the collection of customs duties within its own territory; but Austria-Hungary is regarded as forming but a single customs and trade territory, and the laws touching administration in these fields must be identical in the two countries. There is a joint-stock Austro-Hunsarian bank at Vienna; the two kingdoms have the same system of weights and measures; and there is separate coining but the same coinage. 001. Patents, Posts, and Telegraphs.--A common system of patents and copyrights is maintained; and both countries have the same postal and telegraph service. 602. The Delegations.--The most interesting and characteristic feature of the common government of Austria-Hungary is the Delegations, which constitute, in germ at least, a common Legislature. There are two Delegations, an Austrian and a Hungarian. They are committees of the Austrian and Hungarian legislatures respectively, consisting each of sixty members, chosen one-third by the upper, two-thirds by the lower chamber of...
Download or read book A Historical Sketch of Liberty and Equality written by Frederic William Maitland and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Historical Sketch of Liberty and Equality is a window to one of the most important historians of all time. This exclusive Liberty Fund edition of F. W. Maitland's classic includes a note on Maitland by Charles Haskins, and a general account of Maitland's life and work, "The Historical Spirit Incarnate: Frederic William Maitland," by Robert Schuyler. A historian's historian, F. W. Maitland was never to be caught indulging in fanciful speculation about times long past. Rather, he said, "We shall have to think away distinctions which seem to us as clear as the sunshine; we must think ourselves back into a twilight." To achieve this discipline, Maitland chose his tools of historical analysis with a lawyer's care. For example, to decipher works of medieval law written in Anglo-French patois, he became "grammarian, orthographer, and phoneticist." Thus did none other than Lord Acton declare Maitland to be "the ablest historian in England." In 1875, at only twenty-five years of age, Maitland, in pursuit of a fellowship in Cambridge University, submitted a remarkable work entitled "A Historical Sketch of Liberty and Equality as Ideals of English Political History from the Time of Hobbes to the Time of Coleridge." F. W. Maitland (1850-1906) was the Downing Professor of the Laws of England at the University of Cambridge and an unparalleled scholar of medieval law.

Excerpt: ... and deviation from the right line in the descent of the crown, no more accounted for in Mr. Burke's Reflections, than the declination of atoms in Epicurus's philosophy? The restoration of the Bourbons iu France will be the re-establishment of the principles of the Stuarts in this country.* PRINCE MAURICE'S PARROT; Or, French Instructions to a British Plenipotentiary. Sept. 18, 1814. 1. That the French people were so deeply implicated in the Slave Trade, as not even to know that it had been abolished by this country. 2. That the French press had been so long under the complete despotic control of Bonaparte, that the present government must despair of making any immediate impression on the independence of the political opinions, or the energetic firmness of the individual feelings of the people, lately consigned to their protection. S. That such were their blind and rooted prejudices against the English, that we could only hope to convince them of our entire sincerity and disinterestedness in abolishing the Slave Trade ourselves, by lending a helping hand to its revival by others. 4. That if we consented to give up our colonial conquests to the French, on conditions dictated only by the general principles of humanity, this would be a proof that we intended to keep them in our own hands from the most base and mercenary motives. 5. That the French government simply wished to begin the Slave Trade again as the easiest way of leaving it off, that so they might combine the experiment of its gradual restoration with that of its gradual abolition, and, by giving the people an interest in it, more effectually wean their affections from it. * Written originally for tbe Morning Chronicle. 6. That it is highly honourable in us to have proposed, and...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States: An Outline of Political History, 1492-1871 To an Englishman, particularly if lie is visiting America, an outline of the political history of the United States may not be unwelcome. An American, being familiar with the main facts and the general relations of parties, would look for details. It is, therefore, for English rather than American readers that this sketch is intended. If it comes into the hands of an American, his liberality will make allowance for the position of an Englishman who regards the American Commonwealth as the great achievement of his race, and looks forward to the voluntary reunion of the American branches of the race within its pale, yet desires to do justice to the mother country, and to render to her the meed of gratitude which will always be her due. Should this volume find acceptance it may be followed by a companion volume on the same scale, and treating, necessarily with the same succinctness, the recent history of parties, and the questions of the present day. A complete list of all the authorities consulted would be out of proportion to the book itself, but special obligations should be acknowledged to Gordon's "History of the American Revolution," Bancroft's "History of the United States," Hildreth's "History of the United States," About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
