Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Earliest Times to the Death of George the Second This slight repulse only served to inflame the' king's ardour to take revenge upon the enemy; and he soon after sent a body of eight thousand men to Calais, nu der the command of the earl of Shrewsbury; and an other body of six thousand followed shortly after, under the conduct of Lord Herbert. He prepared to follow himself with the main body and rear; and arrived at Calais, attended by numbers of the English nobility. But he soon had an attendant, who did him still more honour. This was no less a personage than Maximi lian, emperor of Germany, who had stipulated to assist him with eight thousand men; but, being unable to perform his engagements, joined the English army with some German and Flemish soldiers, who were useful in giving an example of discipline to Henry's new-levied. Soldiers. He even enlisted himself in the English service, wore the cross of St. George, and received pay, a hun dred crowns per day, as one of Henry's subjects and captains.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Continuation of the History of England, Vol. 2 He had, in his answer to their former address, assured them of his constant regard to the rights and prosperity of the nation: he had explained the exhausted state of the Dutch; cx-patiated upon the zeal of that republic for the interests of Britain, as well as the maintenance of the protestant religion; and expressed his hope that the English parliament would not only repay the sums they had expended in his expedition, but likewise fur ther support them to the utmost of their ability against the common enemies of their liberties and religion. He had observed that a considerable army and fleet would be necessary for the reduction of Ireland and the pro tection of Britain, and he desired they would settle the revenue in such a manner that it might be collected without difficulty and dispute. The sum total of the money expended by the states - general in William's expedition amounted to seven millions of guilders, and the commons granted six hundred thousand pounds for the discharge of this debt, incurred for the preservation of their rights and religion. They voted funds for rais ing and maintaining an army of two-and-twenty thou sand men, as well as for equipping a numerous fleet but they provided for no more than half a year's sub sistence of the tr00ps, heping the reduction of Ireland might be finished in that term; and this instance of frugality the king considered as a mark of their difii dence of his administration. The whigs were resolved to supply him gradually, that he might be the more dependent upon their zeal and attachment; but he was not at all pleased with their precaution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, From the Revolution to the Death of George II, Vol. 2 of 4 II. Such were the sentiments of the queen; and her ministers seem to have acted on the same principles, though perhaps party motives may have helped to influence their conduct. The allies concurred in opposing with all their might any treaty which could not gratify their difl'erent views of avarice, interest, and ambition. They practised a thousand little artifiees to intimm the queen, to excite a jealousy of Lewis, to blacken the characters of her ministers, to raise and keep up a dangerous ferment among her people, by which her life and government were en dangered. She could not fail to resent these efforts, which greatly perplexed her measures, and obstructed her design. Her ministers were sensible of the dangerous predicament in which they stood. The queen's health was much im paired; and the successor countenanced the opposite fac tion. In case of their sovereign's death, they had nothing to expect but prosecution and ruin for obeying her com mands; they saw no hope of safety, except in renouncing their principles, and submitting to their adversaries; or else in taking such measures as would hasten the pacifi tion, that the troubles of the kingdom might be appeased, and the people be satisfied with their conduct, before death should deprive them of their sovereign's protection. With this view they advised her to set on foot a private nego tiation with Len is to stipulate certain advantages for her own subjects in a concerted plan of peace; to enter into such mutual confidence with that monarch, as would anti cipate all clandestine transactions to her prejudice, and in some measure enable her to prescribe terms for her allies. The plan was judiciously formed; but executed with too much precipitation. The stipulated advantages were not such as she had a right to demand and insist upon; and. Without all doubt, better might have been obtained, had not. The obstinacy of the allies abroad, and the violent conduct of the whig faction at home, obliged the ministers to relax in some material points, and hasten the conclusion of the treaty.

The English navy had every advantage but that of numerical force. Fortune at the outset gave an omen of her favour. The Spanish admiral, Santa Cruz, who had charge of the armada, died as the expedition was about to sail. His death deprived the Spaniards of a man of capacity and experience, and retarded the sail ing of their eet. This iron warrior, as he is called by Strada, died broken-hearted of a court frown from Philip ii.l' The proud tyrant, looking upon the con quest of England as at once easy and magnificent i, or deferring to the pride of the Spanish nobles on board supplied the place of Santa Cruz with the duke of Me dina-sidonia, Whose chief recommendation was his rank of first grandee of Spain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Groundwork of British History, Vol. 2: From the Union of the Crowns to the Present DayIt is to meet such difficulties that our book is directed. Our aim is to provide the reader with a groundwork at once solid and broad - based, upon which increasing know ledge may gradually be built; to trace out the main threads of British history, omitting small and unfruitful details; to treat events in logical sequence by pursuing one subject at a time; and to concentrate the mind upon what was the chief policy or course of action in each age.In order to do this the book strives to encourage the faculties of understanding and reason rather than mere memory; and to make boys think why things happened and 'what the consequences were. For example, in the seventeenth century, the chief place is given to the struggle between King and Parliament, whilst in the eighteenth century the series of great wars, the story of domestic politics, the Industrial Revolution and its effects, are made the subject of separate chapters. And, in the later portions of the history, particular attention, has been paid to the growth and development of the British Empire, and to the various social and economic changes that occurred in Great Britain during the nineteenth century.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
