Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England, Germany and Europe Never has there been so sudden a change in the complexion Of a nation as that which took place among us during the first days of August. One week we saw nothing but confusion, irresolution, pro crastination; party spirit enraged to an unknown degree the very foundations of the State undermined, the House of Commons, which is the mainspring in our institutions lamed, civil war imminent. For the first time within the memory of man the authority Of Parliament was Openly challenged by men in arms. The discipline of the Army had become a question of party politics and men threatened to throw into the cauldron the Crown itself. Look where one would there was no escape, no solution of the unprecedented entanglement. A few days passed and the voice of faction was dead the two Houses of Parliament'at harmony within and united with each other showed themselves to be representatives of a united nation, and for the first time since the death of Pitt we heard from the Treasury Bench in clarion tones the authentic voice of England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England Germany These letters, which appeared originally in The Observer, are reproduced, with the kind permission of Lord Northclifie, at the request of a number of people known and unknown to me, who thought them worthy of preserva tion. A few corrections and expurgations have been made, and they have been slightly added to. Otherwise they stand as I wrote them, partly while travelling abroad. If they suffer from tautology, I would submit the opinion of De Quincey, that in a newspaper tautology is a virtue; as for the iterative method, that, in dealing with a problem of this nature, was part of my deliberate intention. Since they were written a calm has fallen upon Europe; the relations between England, Germany, and France have sensibly improved.

Download or read book The History of Medieval Europe Classic Reprint written by Lynn Thorndike and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Medieval Europe This book aims to trace the development of Europe and its civilization, from the decline of the Roman Empire to the opening of the sixteenth century, for the benefit of the college student and the general reader. It is almost needless to say that such a work makes little claim to originality in method and still less in subject-matter, which it has shame lessly borrowed from numerous sources. Indeed, in a book of this sort it is more fitting to apologize for anything new that one says than for following in old and beaten tracks. The author, of course, hopes that without making too radical departures he has introduced some improvement in selection and presentation of material, and that he has made few mistakes of fact and interpretation. The Table of Contents indicates the general plan of the volume, which is to treat medieval Europe as a whole and to hang the story upon a single thread, rather than to recount as distinct narratives the respective histories of France, England, Germany, Italy, and other countries of modem Europe. French or English history may be studied as such in courses and books so labeled. Moreover, the modern interest in the national state has usually been car ried too far in the study of the Middle Ages. Local division, not national unity and central government, is surely the striking feature through most of the medieval centuries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How England Looks to Germany The human infant, through a sea of perplexing doubts, was safely carried to the impregnable rock of eternal truth by such giants as Kant, Fichte and Hegel. The ideas created by Goethe, Schiller and Beethoven, those masters of words and harmonies, are Spirits storming to be born into the flesh and blood of the visible world of to-day. Stein, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau - those reformers that wedded the Prussian state to the German ideal - thereby preserved both. William I that unique charac ter who found genius and tolerated it, who sustained the Bismarcks and the Von Moltkes, while they raised the torn and tattered Fatherland to the rank of a European power, the strength of which now decides world questions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Woman's Experiences in Europe: Including England, France, Germany, and Italy The Father Of Autobiographers at Home and Abroad has declared, that authors and their public are separated by an immense gulf, Of which, happily, neither of them have any conception. Consequently all prefaces are useless for the more pains a.writer takes to make his views clear, the more occasion he gives for embarrassment. Besides, an author, he de clares, may preface as elaborately as he will, the pub lic will always go on making precisely those demands which he has endeavored to avoid.

Download or read book Readings in European History written by James Harvey Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in European History: A Collection of Extracts From the Sources Chosen With the Purpose of Illustrating the Progress of Culture in Western Europe Since the German Invasions It is now generally conceded by teachers that the study of history should consist of something more than plying the text-book, - a method simple, no doubt, and enjoying the sanction of immemorial usage, but painful and on the whole rather fruitless. The text-book is doubtless as essential as ever as a means of supplying the learner with a coherent outline of the subject, but this outline must be given reality and life by recourse to fuller and more vivid accounts of events and persons than can be looked for in even the most carefully constructed manual. In order to meet this need, so called source books have been appearing of late, not only in the United States but in England, France, and Germany. These furnish in a more or less convenient form the very best of all existing material for collateral reading and for discussion, namely, examples of the sources themselves. This is not the place to defend the judicious use of extracts from the sources; indeed, such defense would be superfluous, since few teachers now question the expediency of the newer method, if only the illustrative extracts can be brought into organic relation with the general historical narrative, so that there may be no danger of confusing the student.

Download or read book Peace With Empire written by Edwyn Bevan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace With Empire: The Problem Germany must be crushed.' To humiliate Germany would prevent any lasting peace.' SO the war of phrases goes on in our ears to-day. And it is largely a war of phrases. For if one gets the people on either side to describe what sort of resettlement of Europe they would like to see after the war, one does not find much difference, so far as recasting the European system goes. No responsible person in England has suggested that Germany should be dismembered in the sense that regions genuinely German in race and sympathies should be torn away from the Empire. No one on the other side can suppose that a settlement involving the loss of Alsace and the Polish provinces would be contemplated for a moment by Germany, except after a defeat so signal as to constitute in itself a pretty considerable humiliation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial Germany The series of chapters which he devotes to foreign policy is in fact a defence of welt-politik. It is a defence which is necessary; for welt-politik meant in his eyes the building of the German Fleet, and the German Fleet, with its avowed challenge to the secular policy of Great Britain, meant the estrangement of England and Germany, and as has now been made clear to all, the estrangement from England meant the almost complete isolation of Germany in Europe.

Download or read book Germany and Europe Classic Reprint written by J. W. Allen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and Europe This little book is the result of a serious effort to understand the causes and the issues of a war in which, whatever we may feel about it, every man, woman and child of us is engaged. It materialised, first, in the form of public lectures given at Bedford College, last October. An honest attempt has been made to state a case for Germany. The effort to do so is a necessary part of any effort to understand what is happening. In this as in all other controversies, a right statement of the adversary's case is the beginning of under standing. Until that is done we have not even put the question and all discussion is irrelevant. If it seems to the author that, at the bar of reason and of justice, Germany has no case, that may be due to his bias or to his general incompetence: it is not due to neglect.

This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-German Relations and European Politics, 1871-1890: Thesis The settlement of difficulties by the Congress of Vienna, which assembled in November 1814, left Germany nothing more than a loose confederation of thirty-eight states under the control of old ruling families. During the next hundred years the development of Central Europe merged these individual states into a unity under a strong central government, which gave Germany a place among the first nations of the World. This marvelous achievement was the result of a severe struggle and keen diplomatic manoeuvring on the part of one person in particular, Prince Bismarck. The balance of power in Europe was destroyed. England could no longer stand aloof in splendid isolation. More and more she became involved in successive European crises.
