Book excerpt: Excerpt from View of the State of Europe During the Middle Ages, Vol. 1 of 3 IT is the object of the present work to exhibit, in a series of historical dissertations, a comprehensive survey of the chief circumstances that can interest a philosophical inquirer during the period usually denominated the Middle Ages. Such an undertaking must necessarily fall under the class of historical abridgments: yet there will perhaps be found enough to distinguish it from such as have already appeared. Many considerable portions of time, especially before the twelfth century, may justly be deemed so barren of events worthy of remembrance, that a single sentence or paragraph is often sufficient to give the character of entire generations, and of long dynasties of obscure kings.

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 The Universities of Europe in the Middle Ages, Vol. 1 of 2: Salerno Bologna Paris The writing of this book is a task in which I became involved through winning the Chancellor's Prize at Oxford for an English Essay in 1883. I entered upon it with no intention of undertaking anything more than such a revision and expansion of my Essay as would justify its publication in book form. The Essay was, of course, written in less than a year: the revision has occupied more than eleven. Twelve years will seem none too much to any one acquainted with the extent and the difficulties of the subject: but it is fair to myself to state that I have been throughout pretty fully occupied in teaching subjects quite unconnected with medieval history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World in the Middle Ages, Vol. 1 of 2: An Historical Geography, With Accounts of the Origin and Development, the Institutions and Literature, the Manners and Customs of the Nations in Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa For my authorities, I refer the reader to the foot notes, and the list of authors on the closing page of the Work. I have also carefully compiled Historical and Geographical Indices, referring to the number of the paragraph in every instance where the name occurs. I would ask the kind forbearance of the Public with regard to some occasional foreign expressions or turns of thought, which possibly may betray the author as a Dane. If this, my first attempt in the field of Historical Geography, should he favorably received by the Public, I might perhaps find myself emboldened to undertake the still more arduous task of preparing an Historical Geography of the M odem World, uniform with the pre sent.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations and Reprints From the Original Sources of European History, Vol. 1: Series for 1894 The period of the Renaissance and the Reformation, which began in England with the closing years of the fifteenth century, was a period of individualism, and gave a greater opportunity of influence to men of genius than any earlier period had furnished. The loosening of the bonds of custom in intellectual and ecclesiastical system, and in political and economic organization, gave to the opinions and actions of individual men far more significance than they could have had in the Middle Ages. While the great currents of change could nut, it is true, be diverted and from their course, yet particular direction and form were given to such change by the influence of men who possessed conspicuous abilities, occupied a powerful position, or represented strong forces. Four such men especially stand out as representative men of the early part of the sixteenth century, both as guides of its movements and types of its characteristics. Cardinal Wolsey was the great statesman, lull of schemes of control and reform in church and state, and of ambition for English influence in the councils of Europe. Sir Thomas More was the representative of the "new learning," the keen critical intellect and broadened interests and sympathies which were transforming the entire habits of thought of the nation. Latimer represented she earnest protestant spirit of moral reform and revolt against the old church system. Finally, I Henry VIII was not only the central figure and dominating force in England during the period of Ins long reign, not merely the occasion of the beginning of the English Retormation, but the type and precursor of that enthusiastic national spirit which was to reach its culmination in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. To give greater clearness to the personality of these four men is the object of the following selections from the abundant and picturesque contemporary records. I. Reports Of Venetian Ambassadors. I. A Description Of Cardinal Wolsey. Sebastian Giustmiani to the Senate, September 10th, 1519. Brown, Calendar of State Papers, Venetian, Vol. I, p. 560. The Cardinal of York is the same as he whom I have styled Orion, in a work composed by me. He is of low origin and has two brothers, one of whom holds an untitled benefice, and the oilier is pushing his fortune. He rules both the king and the entire kingdom. On my first arrival in England he used to say to me, "His majesty will do so and so." Subsequently, by degrees, he forgot himself, and commenced saying, "We shall do so and so." At this present he has readied such a pitch that he says, "I shall do so and so." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In each of these towns local customs grew up, just as the custom of the manor existed in each village in the Open country but more highly developed, as a consequence of the closer population, mercantile occupation, and more active life of the townspeople.
