The English navy had every advantage but that of numerical force. Fortune at the outset gave an omen of her favour. The Spanish admiral, Santa Cruz, who had charge of the armada, died as the expedition was about to sail. His death deprived the Spaniards of a man of capacity and experience, and retarded the sail ing of their eet. This iron warrior, as he is called by Strada, died broken-hearted of a court frown from Philip ii.l' The proud tyrant, looking upon the con quest of England as at once easy and magnificent i, or deferring to the pride of the Spanish nobles on board supplied the place of Santa Cruz with the duke of Me dina-sidonia, Whose chief recommendation was his rank of first grandee of Spain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of England Under Henry the Fourth, Vol. 4: 1411-1413 In a work containing such a crowd of details I am conscious that there are many mistakes, some of which I had intended to correct in a separate list. But this volume has already exceeded its destined length, and I can only promise that, if a second edition should ever be called for, I will do my best to remove these blots so far as they have come to my knowledge. Most of my critics have found fault with the book for its over-minuteness, but I shall be repaid if it should ultimately prove of service to some coming historian, who may find its facts of value while dealing more broadly with the great under lying issues of a revolution era which fixed a new dynasty on the throne of England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 4 of 8: From the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution in 1688 Before the authority of the magiftrate could be ef'rablifh ed, it was neceffary, they faid, to make an example of this great offender; and by the terror of his punifhrnent, teach all leflhr criminals to pay refpee't to the power of their fovereign. Albany, moved by thefe reafons, was induced to forget Hume's pait fervices, to which he had, in a great meafure, been indebted for the regency 5 and he no longer bore towards him that favourable counte nance, with which he was wont to receive him. Hume perceived the alteration, and. Was incited, both by regard to his own fafety and from motives of revenge, to take mea fures in oppofition to the regent. He applied himfelf to Angus and the queen dowager, and reprefented to them the danger, to which the infant pri ce was expofed, from the ambition of Albany, the next heir to the crown, to whom the {tates had imprudently entrul'ted the whole authority of government. By his perfuafion, -margaret formed the defign of carrying off the young king, and putting him under the proteetion of her brother; and when that confpiracy was detected, the herfelf, attended by Hume and Angus, withdrew into England, where {he was foon after delivered of a daughter.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Illustrated History of England, Vol. 4 of 4 The news of the surrender of Yorktown reached England on November 25th, 1781, only two days before the meeting of Parliament. The King showed no signs of surrender, but the Opposition were in great spirits. Disasters in the West Indies continued at the close of the year and the beginning of the next. When Parliament resumed after Christmas resolutions condemning the Ministry were rejected by only small minorities. Indeed, an address moved by General Conway begging the King to put a stop to the American War was lost only by a single vote. At last on March 2otb, when there was an address upon the paper begging for North's dismissal he resigned. It is said that members, anticipating a long debate, had ordered their carriages late in the evening, and that Lord North's was the only one in waiting. As he stepped into it in the midst of a heavy shower of rain, he said to his disappointed antagonists, You see, gentlemen, the advantage of being in the secret.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 4: From the Conclusion of the Great War in 1815 AN author who undertakes to write a long history is exposed at the outset of his task to a considerable dilemma. If he delay its publication till the whole is finished, he is more likely to produce a work calculated to deter readers from its bulk than to attract them from its completeness. If, on the contrary, he decide on publishing it in instalments, he is liable to the charge that his narrative is imperfect, and that he has omitted facts an account of which he has perhaps merely de ferred. In the present work an attempt has been made to avoid this difficulty by making each instalment of it, as far as possible, a complete whole. The period with which the author had to deal lent itself to this treat ment, and the object which he had in view was pro moted by this arrangement.

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of England and the British Empire, Vol. 1 of 4 Many are the histories of England, or of the British Empire and the kingdoms out of whose union that Empire grew, from the earliest times to the present day.' Latterly, almost every such history for which a single author has been responsible is of a compass compatible with its publi cation in a single volume. Whenever, during some forty years past, a work on a larger scale has been projected, the principle of co-operative production by scholars who have each made a special study of a particular era or of a particular aspect of the whole subject has displaced the principle of unity in outlook and method. For anything which exceeds the limits of a study or a summary we have learnt to seek always the guidance of a specialist; and no one can pretend to be a specialist on the whole of British history from Gildas to the latest Blue-book. No one man can be expected to combine in his own person the erudition of the respective staffs of Dr. Hunt, the late H. D. Trail], or Professor Oman, in the histories of England issued under their editorship. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The intellec'ts of this prince were natu rally weak; and the education he had received rendered them {till more feeble. He there fore conceived the impraeticable project of reigning in the arbitrary manner of his prede cei'for, and of changing the eliablifhed reli gion of his country, at a time when his perfon was hated, and the ei'tablilhed religion pallion ately loved. The people, though they de fpifed the adminifiration of his predecefi'or, yet loved the king. They were willing to bear with the faults of one, whofe whole be haviour was a continued influx of afl'ability but they were by no means willing to grant the fame indulgence to James, as they knew him to' be gloomy, proud, bigotted, and cruel. His reign began with acts of imprudence.
