Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Europe Rome and Athens, so far from being weakened, were im measurably strengthened by their colonies those flourish ing settlements which surrounded the Mediterranean Sea were the brilliant girdle which, as much as the arms of the Legions, contributed to the strength of the Empire and England would never have emerged victorious from her immortal conflict for European freedom, if she had not found in her colonial trade the means of maintaining the contest, when shut out from the markets of the Con tinent-al states. If it were permitted to follow fanciful analogies between the body politic and the human frame, it would be safer to say that the prolific parent of many colonies is like the happy mother of a numerous offspring, who exhibits, even in mature years, no symptoms of decline, and preserves the freshness and charms of youth for a much longer period than she who has never under gone the healthful labours of parturition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Finding the Worth-While in Europe For this reason I have little to say of the great cities which I have found very much like each other and like our own, but I do aim to show the way to some of those places in every land to see which will surely make of the trip a pleasant memory. Many of these are included in every well planned European tour, but some are not, and take my word for it and be not afraid to turn aside sometimes from the beaten track, for in the odd corners of the earth are often found its greatest beauties.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Thoughts in Europe Certain classes of books are such favorites, that nearly the Whole responsibility of publishing them should be borne by the public. The eagerness with which they are read is a premium on their production. The traveller in foreign lands finds the privacy of his letters and journal encroached Upon While writing them, by the thought that they may be turned into Copy for the printer. To so many others has this happened, that the possibility of its happening to himself cannot be kept out of his mind, spotting, it may be, the candor of his statements. Afterwards, when he nas been at home long enough for the incidents of his jour ney to grow by distance of time into reminiscences, what he wrote on the spot comes upon him with unexpected freshness and distinctness. Himself gets information and entertainment from the perusal of his notes, letters and diary. In this state of semi-self-complacency, the public urgently invites him to its broad tables - invites him through the kindness wherewith it has loaded so many of his book-blazoned fellow-travellers. He begins to criticise his manuscript; to shape it by excisions, by additions to calculate quantity; to confer With a popular publisher, who is of course in close league With the public, - until at last, he finds that his manuscript has been made away with and in its stead he has proof sheets.

Download or read book Thunder Over Europe Classic Reprint written by Edward Alexander Powell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thunder Over Europe In writing a book of this description much informa tion not readily available to the public is required. To obtain it the author frequently must request from the governments concerned certain privileges and facilities for observation and investigation. Yet, by the acceptance of such privileges, and the social courtesies which usually accompany them, the author places himself under an implied obligation. Thus, if he criticizes the policy of a government which has aided him, or expresses opinions which are unpalatable to it, he is accused of ingratitude and bad taste. If, on the other hand, he seeks to retain the good-will of a government by ignoring or white washing unpleasant facts, he breaks faith with those who buy his books. The question arises then: should he de ceive his readers by refraining from criticism; or should he state the facts bluntly, as he sees them, regardless of whose toes he treads on? It has always seemed to me that an author's paramount obligation is to his readers. They buy his books on the assumption that he will tell them the unvarnished truth.
