Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jacqueline of Holland, Vol. 2 of 3: A Historical Tale To that wild spot, we must go back a little from the regular progress of our story, to trace one anterior passage in the life, and a few variations in the feelings of a personage who, though a while out of sight, has not, we hope, yet escaped the reader's mind - their sometime acquaintance Humphrey, the good Duke of Glocester. We have not now to treat of him in his capacity as the champion of a princess, the rival of a sove reign, or the ruler of a realm; but simply in that character from the pains of which pride, valour, or ambition cannot give impunity - as the slave and Victim of that fatal passion which swallows in its vortex all the rest, and which forms the staple not only of romantic fiction but of real life. We have not yet seen Duke Hum phrey in the light of a lover. It is as such that we have now to paint him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Puritan in Holland, England, and America, Vol. 2 of 2: An Introduction to American History Since the battle of Bannockburn, in 1314, Scotland had been an independent kingdom. Her people, al though more advanced than the Irish, were still behind the English in general civilization. They had felt lit tle of the Norman influence which gave to England her universities, her cathedrals, and her legal system. Neither had they shared, to any great extent, in that connection with the Netherlands from which the Eng lish had always benefited. Their soil was sterile, and they had not yet begun to develop the manufactures which, in late years, have poured in upon them such a stream of wealth. But they had gone further than the English upon one road. Scotland had become Protes tant in fact as well as in name, for there the Reforma tion had been carried to its legitimate conclusion. The old papal system had disappeared, root and branch, and in its place Presbyterianism, pure and Simple, had been established. Much of this was the work of one man a man perhaps the most remarkable that Scotland, a country prolific of great men, has ever yet produced. This man was John Knox.

Download or read book The Journal of Elizabeth Lady Holland 1791 1811 Classic Reprint written by Elizabeth Lady Holland and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Elizabeth Lady Holland (1791-1811) It was a most fortunate escape to me, tho' I believe Ld. H. was vexed at the impertinence of the proceeding. The Castle is magnificent, decorated with ornaments appropriate to the building, and in the very best taste possible. His taste in virtu is better than in breeding, as he manifested a gross deficiency of that quality to us. From thence we went across a very moderate road to Kenilworth; by the remains of the castle it appears to have far exceeded Warwick in splendour and extent. On ye 29th we went through Birmingham. Having seen it last year we did not stop, but went straight on to the Leasowes, a spot rendered celebrated by Shenstone; it is very unworthy of the praise he bestowed upon it, and is now fallen into decay. About three miles further is Hagley; the park is very beautiful, the house simple. The comfortless taste prevalent in England of placing the house in a lawn where sheep and cattle feed close to the windows, instead of ornamental gardens, gives rather a disconsolate appearance to it; otherwise it is almost as desirable as a country residence (a bad thing at best) can be. It was built by the good Ld. Lyttelton, as he is generally called to distinguish him from his son, who, in contradistinction, is termed the bad. His much-loved wife, whom he celebrates under the name of Lucy, is buried in the church. It destroys the pathos excited by his elegy, if one recollects that within two years of her death he married a fat, vulgar, rich widow, for her wealth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry Fox, First Lord Holland, Vol. 2 of 2: His Family and Relations Fox, however, was not to be daunted by one failure. The principal was adamant; but were his auxiliaries equally unapproachable? There are persons of more consequence and in every respect preferable to Mr Pitt, I mean Lord Bute and Mr Legge, he wrote that same evening to the Duke of Argyll, whom he implored to come up to town. I will wait on Lord Bute, I will write to Legge immediately. 3 To detach them would be to leave Pitt without sufficient support. A family Opposition might then become his sole resource. The attempt was audacious, but for one short moment no effort was too bold for Fox. There was just a chance that Bute, who was certainly under an obligation to him for his new office, might possibly be induced to assist. Some conversation seems actually to have taken place between the two men 3 but though Argyll, upon whose in uence Fox was chie y depending, replied from the country in favourable terms, he showed no eagerness to hurry to London. Indeed, his arrival only took place after the crisis was over. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
