This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the People of the Netherlands, Vol. 1 HE history of the Netherlands is largely a double history, - a history of two states. Belgium and Holland both belong to the Netherlands, but three centuries have now divided the Netherlanders into two nations. Before the end of the sixteenth century there was, however, no thought of a separation between the Northern and Southern Netherlands. This history aims to show how the Dutch and the Belgians, the people of the Netherlands, developed from the races of North-western Germany and how the former separated from the latter. In olden time, the Netherlands formed part of the terri tory of two great families of nations, Germany and Gaul, separated by the Rhine. About the beginning of our era, Rome annexed to its empire the country on the left of the river, and extended its authority over some tribes upon the right bank, as the Batavians and Frisians, who were more closely bound to Rome than most other Ger mans. Thus the stronger influence of Rome's civilisation early distinguished the Netherlanders from the Germans beyond the Ems and Yssel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the People of the Netherlands, Vol. 4 HE historian of the golden age of the Nether lands has a pleasant task to perform, because the glory of posterity has never risen higher than in this time, especially in, the second half of the century. But this task is difficult, for great is the number of the works that have appeared on this attractive epoch, and hard it is to hold fast the thread of the narrative amid the many important events occurring in every depart ment of the national life. The author hopes he has over come this difficulty without allowing too ample a space to any portion of the history of the people, so far as possible without being swayed by his personal preference for persons and systems. It would not greatly surprise him, however, if the crit ics, as has previously happened, were again to complain that in this volume also of the history of the people of the Netherlands too much place has perhaps been given to the political history of the people. That poor political history! Formerly it was everything, the everywhere recognised mistress; now it is put under a ban and thrown into an obscure corner, and unjustly. It may not be denied that the interest of the public at present is directed more to other expressions of the life of the peo ple, but this does not signify that those other expressions of old took a so much more considerable place in the popular life itself, in the daily thoughts of the nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the People of the Netherlands, Vol. 3 HE period of the Eighty Years' War takes a peculiarly interesting place in the history of the Netherland people; not only because, under the influence of the diffi cult circumstances in which the population of the Nether land provinces were then placed, the foundations were laid for a new state destined to appear on the world's stage as the equal of the great European powers, but also because, during the period of transition, the dominant traits of the Netherland national character became clear. It will appear in the following pages how good and evil alternated in the war, how, under the direction of the three great Orange princes, well aided by distinguished generals - their own kinsmen and Netherlanders - and by skilful statesmen, among whom John of Oldenbarne velt is preeminent, independence was first won from Spain; how in the midst of great dangers the political condition of Europe again and again lamed the power of the doughty foe; how, when the Truce was concluded, the enemy took the decisive steps on the path which necessarily led to the complete freedom of the Seven Pro vinces; how commerce and manufacture, not only in spite of, but actually because of, the war, developed vigorously; how the theological opinions of the majority took a de finite direction; how political institutions were crystal lised into form; how art and science enjoyed a period of bloom at the close of hostilities, when security and pros perity created favourable conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the People of the Netherlands, Vol. 2: From the Beginning of the Fifteenth Century to 1559 This part, too, offered peculiar difficulties in the way of a well-ordered, connected narrative. The writer had no longer to contend with an almost complete lack or at least great imperfection of data, as was the case in various chapters of Part I. We have no cause of complaint for the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries, espe cially not in the last part. The great difficulty lay in the many points both of likeness and of difference in political and social matters in the Netherland provinces of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The writer deemed that the best method of overcoming the difficulty was to give the political history of the various states separately, as far as possible; to keep in mind their exact mutual relation by referring, in the accounts of common wars and feuds, to what had been previously said; and to discuss social conditions in the various provinces occas ionally, when they came to the fore, as, for example, the guilds in Flanders, the Vehmgericht in Utrecht, the position of the feudal nobles in Hainaut. An important place must be given to the political his tory of this tumultuous time, more prominent than may be deemed desirable by many in a history of the people of the Netherlands; war, feud, and disputed succession were, in those centuries, all in the order of the day and con trolled social development then as well as in the cent uries immediately preceding. Therefore, consideration is devoted to the critical periods which had real influence on the condition of the people.

This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Holland, From the Beginning of the Tenth to the End of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 1 AT a period such as the present, when the general appetite for knowledge is at once quickened and satiated by all that is pungent in wit, delicate in sentiment, rich in learning, and novel in science - when, by the plastic hand of modern invention, history herself is made to suit the alluring garb of romance - it is with diflidence that I solicit attention to a work which has nothing but fidelity to recommend it, and of which the subject, deeply interesting in itself, but deficient perhaps in some of the subsidiary attractions incidental to historical narrative, requires a pen of more than ordinary ability to do it justice. It is not an overweening vanity or presumption that has prompted me on this occasion; not that, unawed by the high and grave duties of an historian, I have ventured upon them in wanton recklessness, or blind ignorance of my own incapacity, or touched without trem bling the very lowest hem of the mantle of Livy and Tacitus; but in the conviction that it is the duty of every one to cast his mite, however humble, into the treasury of human knowledge; in the consciousness that if I shall have done little to enlighten, I have in no one instance wilfully con tributed to the propagation or continuance of error; in the h0pe of proving useful to those who, like myself, have felt the disadvantage to which the English reader of history is subject, of knowing nothing of the internal government, constitution, laws, and habits of a people, whose name, celebrated throughout the world, is to be met with on nearly every page of the history of Europe. It is with the view of presenting this knowledge in a compendious form that the following Work has been composed, of which, as I have said.
