Download or read book The History of England During the Thirty Years Peace written by Harriet Martineau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England During the Thirty Years' Peace: 1816-1846, Vol. 1 After an interval of a year, Mr. Knight invited me to take up the work, and carry it to a conclusion, on my own responsibility as regarded the authorship. It was gratifying to me to be invited to prosecute any work begun by him 3 and it was in itself a labour peculiarly tempting to me. The only reluctance I felt was from shame at the contrast which must immediately be evident between the remarkable beauty, as it appears to me, of the opening chapters, and the inferior quality of the following Books. As Mr. Knight was, however, really unable to resume, I joyfully agreed to work out his scheme. For the whole of the History, after the First Book, I am thus solely responsible. Yet, though left entirely free to do my work as I thought proper, there is one subject on which, from the circumstances of the case, I have not felt at liberty to speak - Mr. Knight's own relation to the history of his time. One blessed result of the Peace has been the leisure and Opportunity it has afforded for the cultivation of the popular intelligence and in this mighty work, I suppose it will be admitted on every hand, that no one has done so much as he. Under any other circumstances of public ation, a review of his benefactions to the nation would have been taken in the eleventh chapter of the Third Book, in connection with the notice of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It grieves me that such a statement should not appear in its proper place: and I do not see why I should not make some reference to the subject here, without his knowledge - though at some risk of his displeasure. I have mentioned in the text the leading publications of the Diffusion Society: and I may here explain that many of the most important and influential of them are owing to Mr. Knight. Before he became connected with the Society, the plan was to issue the well-known Treatises on Scientific subjects. To his junction with the Association, to his inventive resource, his sagacity, his knowledge of the popular mind and its needs, and his most disinterested toil, we owe that long series of valuable works which forms a fine feature of the time - The Penny Cyclopaedia, The British Almanac and Companion, The Penny Magazine, and The Library of Entertaining Knowledge. The Journal of Education, and The Gallery of Portraits, were his undertakings. As for what more he has done, by his own resources, without aid from the organization of any Society, it is only necessary to refer to the book-shelves of all the homes in the land and its Colonies, where the dwellers can read, from the palace library to the. Cottage window. This reference is enough. It saves myself and my readers from the ingratitude of Wholly overlooking one of the chief national blessings of the period of the Peace.

Download or read book The Age of Reform 1815 1870 written by Ernest Llewellyn Woodward and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1962 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Waterloo and Gladstone's first ministry, Britain underwent a series of rapid and complex changes. At home, repression gave way to reform of the franchise, local government, education, poor relief, and the factory and legal systems. Further agitation arose in the 1840s over the CornLaws, the People's Charter, and the Irish Question. By the 1860s, Britain was able to bask in the glow of the mid-Victorian supremacy forged by its economic might and the foreign policy pursued by Castlereagh, Canning, and Palmerston, which maintained the balance of power and extended the colonialempire. Authoritative and incisive, this newly paperbacked volume in the Oxford History of England is a classic study of Britain in the ascendant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace Handbooks, Vol. 1 In the spring of 1917 the I Foriegn Office, in connection with the preparation which they were making for the work of the Peace Conference, established a special section whose duty it should be to provide the British Delegates to the Peace Conference with information in the most convenient form - geographical, economic, historical, social, religious and political respecting the different countries, districts, islands, c., with which they might have to deal. In addition, volumes were prepared on certain general subjects, mostly of an historical nature, concerning which it appeared that a special study would be useful. The historical information was compiled by trained writers on historical subjects, who (in most cases) gave their services without any remuneration. For the geographical sections valuable assistance was given by the Intelligence Division (Naval Staff) of the Admiralty; and for the economic sections, by the War Trade Intelligence Department, which had been established by the Foreign Office. Of the maps accompanying the series, some were prepared by the above-mentioned department of the Admiralty, but the bulk of them were the work of the Geographical Section of the General Staff (Military Intelligence Division) of the War Office. Now that the Conference has nearly completed its task, the Foreign Office, in response to numerous enquiries and Scquests, has decided to issue the books for public use, Relieving that they will be useful to students of history, politics, economics and foreign affairs, to publicists generally and to business men and traveller's. It is hardly necessary -lo say that some of the subjects dealt with in the series have lot in fact come under discussion at the Peace Conference; but, as the books treating of them contain valuable information, it has been. thought advisable to include them.
