Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks of the History of England My Dear Macready, As you retain the same interest in the education and improvement of your countrymen which you so actively promoted by the finest and most intellectual dramatic efforts of modem times, I dedicate to you this little volume, which contains the substance of a course of lectures delivered to the Mechanics' Institute of this district. They are now presented in the more ambitious form of "Chapters," but I have not changed the style of their composition, and have only diminished such portions of their local colouring as made them peculiarly applicable to my own friends. It is with the hope of their being useful to other institutions of the same kind, and generally to persons who have not time for larger and deeper histories, that I have published them in this cheap and commodious form. I know you will forgive the faults of the York from friendship to the author; and I trust others will be equally benevolent for the sake of the cause to which it is devoted. Believe me, my dear Macready, Ever yours truly, James White. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Landmarks in English Industrial History Classic Reprint written by George Townsend Warner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks in English Industrial History History is opening out so vast a field that by common agreement we have come to recognize certain divisions in it. We speak of Ancient History and Modern History, Political History, Constitutional History, Ecclesiastical History, Mili tary History, Economic or Social History, and so on. But although these divisions are convenient, we must not draw a dividing line too rigidly; we cannot take each fact of history and label it as belonging to one subject or to another, however tempting this may be for the sake of clearness, because there are many events which are impor ant, not only in one, but in several branches of history With some this multiple importance is evident: no one would dream of assigning Magna Carta to the constitutional historian and forbidding the political historian to mention it; events like the Reformation, or the Model Parliament, or the coloniza tion of Ulster, or the Union with Scotland are plainly many sided. But there is another class of events which, though they appear to belong very definitely to one division of history, yet on a closer scrutiny reveal influences, at first.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks of History The counsellors of Elizabeth had again given proof of their wisdom. On many an intricate question they had given counsel, when national honor and political freedom were at stake. But here was a question concerning which humanity and the peace of the realm demanded thoughtful consideration and far-reaching wisdom. And again, English statesmen were to triumph. The wail of the poor is heard no more by the reader of English history. Agrarian discontent lingers only among the d1m shadows of the past, and the sons of the starving poor of Elizabeth's reign are to become the Ironsides of Cromwell and the colonizers of the wilderness of New England. All men are by nature free and equal, argued Sir Thomas More before the despotic Henry VIII. All men are by nature free and equal, cried Oliver Cromwell, as he dashed through the Royalist ranks on the plain of Naseby; and Miles Standish, standing on Plymouth Rock, shouts back, God and liberty, to Cromwell. The seed planted by More in the soil of England has produced a tree under which the nations of the earth may find shelter. It is the tree of liberty! The Renaissance has again triumphed.

Download or read book A People s History of England Classic Reprint written by Arthur Leslie Morton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-24 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A People's History of England Early maps show a world in which Britain is a remote outpost, a shapeless cluster of islands thrust out into the encircling ocean. But in some of these maps a significant tilt brings their South-western coast close to the North of Spain, reminding us that earlier still, centuries before the making of any maps that have survived, Britain lay not outside the world but on a regular and frequented trade route which linked Mediterranean civilisation with the amber-bearing North. It was by this long sea route and not across the Dover Straits or the Channel that civilisation first reached these shores. In Cornwall, in Ireland and along the coast of Wales and Scotland cluster the monuments left by Iberian or Megalithic men who reached and peopled Britain between 3000 and 2000 A final group of such monuments in Sutherland, the last point at which their ships touched land before pushing across the North Sea to Scandinavia, makes the route and its Objective abundantly clear. At this time the land subsidence which had begun a thousand or so years earlier was still going on, and the apparently shorter and safer route up Channel and along the European coast was closed, if not by a land bridge joining Britain to the continent, then by straits that were narrow, shifting, shoaling and swept by rapid tides. This is perhaps the first reason for the settlement of Iberian man in Britain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts in Early England The present volume is not offered as a history of pre - Conquest architecture. Before the history of a style can be written there must be some general agreement as to the chronology of its monuments. Such a chronology of Saxon buildings has yet to be established, and it is hoped that the notices which follow of examples of English Work, with their continental parallels, will be of some aid towards this desirable end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-Saxon Britain This little book is an attempt to give a brief sketch of Britain under the early English conquerors, rather from the social than from the political point of View. For that purpose not much has been said about the doings of kings and statesmen; but attention has been mainly directed towards the less obvious evi dence afforded us by existing monuments as to the life and mode of thought of the people themselves. The principal object throughout has been to estimate the importance of those elements in modern British life which are chiefly due to purely English or Low Dutch influences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An History of England, Vol. 1: In a Series of Letters From a Nobleman to His Son There feems to be a natural tendency in every nation to run its antiquity as far back as pofiible, and when once they have arrived at the regionso of fie'tion, no bounds are fer to*the wonders of every narration. Were we to take our character of the ancient inhabitants of this inand from the lea gends monuments or traditions which have been eft by thofe inhabitants themfelves we might be apt to imagine, that arts even in that early period were cultivated and fciences known to fome de gree of perfeetion. The Druids, if weobelieve forne fragments of their own, underflood ai'tronomy and medicine, and gave lefl'ons in morality and meta phyfics. But what credit can be given to the ac counts of a barbarous people told by themfelves The knowledge and learning indeed of their priefis might be great, if compared with the almoft brutal' fimplicity and ignorance of the rei't of the people but it could nor deferve the name of fcience, if put in competition with what was known and prac tifed by their polite contemporaries of Greece and Rome.
