Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the close of the Napoleonic Wars, Malta officially became part of the British Empire in 1814. As the British presence there increased, so too did public interest in the island's history, particularly the military religious order of the Knights Hospitaller. In 1858, the army officer Whitworth Porter (1827-92) published this two-volume work, tracing the fortunes of the order since its establishment following the First Crusade. Incorporating details of the knights' social habits and customs into his narrative, Porter also provides supplementary material such as royal and papal documents in translation. Volume 2 opens in 1522 with the surrender of Rhodes, followed by the order's eventual relocation to Malta, which the Ottomans besieged without success in 1565. The coverage extends to the blockade of Valletta, then under French control, at the end of the eighteenth century.

Before once again reverting to the political and general history of the Order during the remainder of its residence in the island of Malta, it may not be uninteresting to enter into a few brief particulars more immediately concerning the language of England. From the moment of the first establishment of the Order of St. John by Peter Gerard, at Jerusalem, the English element became incorporated with the main body. The Lord Jordan Brissett, in 1101, founded a house for the benefit of the hospital at Clerkenwell, then at some distance from London, though it has since been swallowed up by the giant strides of the modern Babylon. This establishment became the nucleus of the English branch of the Order, and was speedily enlarged by many other most valuable and important donations. Heraclius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, when on a visit to England in 1185, consecrated the church of this establishment and raised it to the dignity of a priory. Henry I., king of England, was a considerable benefactor to the young and thriving institution, and his example was followed by many of his subjects, whilst others hastened to enrol themselves as members of an Order which was fostered and supported not only by the pontiff, but by every potentate in Europe. When the community was made military, as well as hospitaller, under Raymond du Puy, the numbers of the chivalry...
