Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the English People, Vol. 2 A lord's caprice into rights that could be pleaded at law. The number of teams, the fines, the reliefs, the services that a lord could claim, at first mere matter of oral tradition, came to be entered on the court-roll of the manor, a copy of which became the title-deed of the villein. It was to this that he owed the name of copy holder which at a later time superseded his older title. Disputes were settled by a reference to this roll or on oral evidence of the custom at issue, but a social arrangement which was eminently.

Download or read book A Modern History of the English People Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by R. H. Gretton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Modern History of the English People, Vol. 2 England in 1899 hardly represented the ideal spectacle of a people on the eve of a relentless trial of its spirit. The national temper at the moment was a curious mixture of hilarity and moodiness, of assurance and anxious calculations, of energy and hesitation. So indeterminate were feeling and purpose that a generally warlike disposition was presently to greet the actual outbreak of war as a thunderbolt. Politics were at an unhealthy pause, social life in an equally unhealthy fever. In commerce an unparalleled volume of business was being regarded almost askance; prosperity was felt to be founded upon ill-considered and inadequate business methods. In this matter, as in others, the country was in an introspective frame of mind. Many elements in its activities were seen to be false. Such perception, however, formed no real preparedness for the ordeal of the melting pot. The quality of the national metal was not doubted: only its shape and the keenness of its edge were in question. The futility of current political exchanges was obvious in each of the three political parties. The Conservative Government could not feel much interest in proposing home legislation while South African affairs were assuming daily a more menacing aspect. The Conservative majority was so large that marking time involved no danger in the division lobbies. Moreover, the Government had little to fear from an Opposition more than half paralysed by internal divisions. These had now become acute.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the English People, Vol. 2 Edward the Fifth is the subject Of a work attributed to Sir Thomas More, and which almost certainly derives much of its im portance from Archbishop Morton. Whatever its historical worth may be, it is remarkable in its English form as the first historical work of any literary value which we possess written in our modern prose. The Letters and Papers of Richard the Third and Henry the Seventh, some Memorials of Henry the Seventh, including his life by Bernard Andre of Toulouse, and a volume of Materials for a history of his reign have been edited for the Rolls Series. A biography of Henry is among the works of Lord Bacon The his tory of Erasmus in England must be followed in his own interesting letters the most accessible edition of the typical book of the revi val, the Utopia, is the Elizabethan translation, published by Mr. Arber. Mr. Lupton has done much to increase our scanty knowl edge of Colet by his recent editions of several of his works. Halle's Chronicle extends from the reign Of Edward the Fourth to that of Henry the Eighth; for the latter he is copied by Grafton and fol lowed by Holinshed. Cavendish has given a faithful and touching account Of Wolsey in his later days, but for any real knowledge of his administration or the foreign policy of Henry the Eighth we must turn from these to the invaluable Calendars of State Papers for this period from the English, Spanish, and Austrian archives, with the prefaces of Professor Brewer and Mr. Bergenroth. Cromwell's early life as told by Foxe is a mass of fable, and the State Papers aflord the only real information as to his ministry. For Sir Thomas More we have a touching life by his son-in-law, Roper. The more Important documents for the religious history of the time will be found in Mr. Pocock's edition of Burnet's History of the Reforma tion those relating to the dissolution of the monasteries in the collection Of letters on that subject published by the Camden Society, and in the Original Letters of Sir Henry Ellis. A mass of mate rials of very various value has been accumulated by Strype in his collections, which commence at this period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the English People, Vol. 5: From 1815 to the Present Time Turning to matters of a more tangible kind, we find as great a difference in the England of 1793 and of 1815. The population and resources of the country had grown in those twenty-two years in a measure for which previous history could afford no parallel. The distribution of the newly-gotten wealth was far less satisfactory, and numer ous social problems had grown up which were bound to force themselves upon public attention the moment that the stress of war was removed. In population, the United Kingdom had increased from to souls, in spite of the considerable waste of life in the for eign war and in the Irish troubles of 1797-8.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the English People, Vol. 3 But it was his elder brother, John Wesley, who embodied in himself not this or that side of the new movement, but the movement itself. Even at Oxford, where he resided as a fel low Oi Lincoln, he had been looked upon as head of the group of Methodists, and after his return from a quixotic mission to the Indians of Georgia he again took the lead of the little society, which had removed in the interval to London. In power as a preacher he stood next to Whitefield; as a hymn writer he stood second to his brother Charles. But while com bining in some degree the excellence of either, he possessed qualities in which both were utterly deficient; an indefatigable industry, a cool judgment, a command over others, a faculty of organization, a singular union Of patience and moderation with an imperious ambition, which marked him as a ruler Of men. He had besides a learning and skill in writing which no other of the Methodists possessed; he was older than any Of his colleagues at the start of the movement, and he out lived them all. His life indeed almost covers the century, and the Methodist body had passed through every phase of its history before he sank into the grave at the age Of eighty eight. It would have been impossible for Wesley to have wielded the power he did had he not shared the follies and extravagance as well as the enthusiasm of his disciples. Throughout his life his asceticism was that of a monk. At times he lived on bread only, and he Often slept on the bare boards. He lived in a world of wonders and divine interpositions. It was a miracle if the rain stopped and allowed him to set for ward on a journey. It was a judgment of Heaven if a hail storm burst over a town which had been deaf to his preach ing. One day, he tells us, when he was tired and his horse fell lame, I thought - cannot God heal either man or beast by any means or without any? - immediately my headache ceased and my horse's lameness in the same instant. With a still more childish fanaticism he guided his conduct, whether in ordinary events or in the great crises of his life, by draw ing lots or watching the particular texts at which his Bible Opened. But with all this extravagance and superstition, Wesley's mind was essentially practical, orderly, and conserv' ative.
