Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Foundation of Virginia to the Reconstruction of the Union AN impartial historian is naturally rare. He must realise vividly, yet feel coldly; his interest in the great drama of human passion must be equally passionless and profound; he must live in the conflicts of the Past, yet take no side therein. Even the colourless austerity of Thucydides, the concentrated terseness of Tacitus, fail to stand the test of modern criticism. Our own favourite classics - Gibbon and Alison, Motley, Macaulay, and Carlyle - are those who infuse into the Past most of the breath, life, and movement of modern party spirit. Grote and Froude present, in the new light of their own warm partisanship, periods heretofore painted and regarded from an opposite standpoint. If ever that plea may avail a former advocate, reviewing from the Bench of History a cause he once argued at the bar of politics, it should surely vindicate an effort to treat candidly and truthfully a theme of which the sympathisers with success have enjoyed a virtual monopoly; especially when addressing a generation which knows the lion's part almost exclusively from the art of somewhat over exultant conquerors.

He must realise vividly, yet feel coldly; his interest in the great drama of human passion must be equally passionless and profound; he must live in the conflicts of the Past, yet take no side therein.

Our own favourite classics - Gibbon and Alison, Motley, Macaulay, and Carlyle - are those who infuse into the Past most of the breath, life, and movement of modern party spirit. Grote and Froude present, in the new light of their own warm partisanships, periods heretofore painted and regarded from an opposite standpoint. If ever that plea may avail a'former advocate, reviewing from the Bench of History a cause he once argued at the bar of politics, it should surely vindicate an effort to treat candidly and truthfully a theme of which the sympathisers with success have enjoyed a virtual monopoly; especially when addressing a generation which knows the lion's part almost exclusively from the art of somewhat over-exultant conquerors. This book, then, is presented distinctly as a History of the United States, not a political apology or impeachment. I know of no work which gives, within reasonable compass, a clear, complete, fairly candid account of the leading facts and most eventful periods of American history - the history of a national life almost as interesting as that of Athens, a growth as marvellous as that of Rome. A knowledge of that history is surely an essential element of English education. There is, in this respect, a want felt by many well-informed and thoughtful Englishmen; avoid in our literature whose existence few will question, however imperfect and unsatisfactory they may pronounce this attempt to fill it. The Revolution, the Constitution, and the Civil War are the three central events of American history. They supply its main connecting threads, the developments, political and dramatic, to which the conscious efforts and unconscious progress of years lead up. Whatever is not connected therewith, however striking or interesting in itself, is episodical - if the terminology of poetry and fiction may be applied to history. Throughout the main narrative I have endeavoured to keep its bearing upon these critical points before the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Virginia, Vol. 1 of 6: Colonial Period, 1607-1763 The first century and a half of Virginia's Colonial History, the period described in this volume, was crowded with events of extraor dinary variety and far - descending influence. The eighteen years of the London Company's existence saw the erection on the banks of the James of the first permanent English settlement in the Western Hemisphere; the meeting at Jamestown of the earliest representative assembly to convene within the present area of the United States; the establishment of the first civil and criminal courts; the first trial by jury; the first grant of separate titles to land; the planting of the first staple crops; the manufacture of the first merchantable articles; the building of the first church; and the construction of the first dwelling-house. The era of Nathaniel Bacon made up another interval of supreme importance, for it was then that the first armed blow on a large scale was struck on American soil for the preservation of the rights of the common people and for their equality before the law. Subsequently, it was during the administrations of Culpeper and Effingham that the Virginians contended, with indomitable courage and persistence, for the inherited, and inalienable, and sole right of their General Assemblies to impose taxes and originate the measures necessary for the proper government of their local affairs. And next, it was during the administrations of Spotswood and Gooch that the first great movement of population westward began, never to pause until the shores of the Pacific were reached; and it was during this interval, also, that the' Dissenters carried on their noble struggle for religious liberty, which was to end, at a later day, in a splendid triumph. And, finally, it was during the administrations of Din widdie and Fauquier that the expansion of the French Power towards the Alleghanies was permanently halted. All these dramatic and pregnant episodes were, by their transmitted influence, to make a profound impression on the character and career of the great Republic which now dominates the Western Hemisphere, and they are, there fore, entitled to a discriminating study as much from a national, as from a Virginian, point of view. I have not lost sight of' this larger significance in my treatment of the different aspects of my central theme, whether it deals with the facts in the ordinary current of events, or with the qualities of the men who played the chief part during the years of the colonial period.
