Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Military Life of John, Duke of Marlborough Consummate as were the abilities, unbroken the success, immense the services of the Duke of Marlborough, the details of his campaigns can scarcely be said to be known to the vast majority of his countrymen. They have heard the distant echo of his fame, as they have that of the exploits of Timour, of Bajazet, and of Genghis Khan; the names of Blenheim and Ramillies, of Malplaquet and Oudenarde awaken a transient feeling of exultation in their bosoms; but as to the particulars of these events, the difficulties with which their general had to struggle, the objects for which he contended, even the places where they occurred, they are, for the most part, as ignorant as they are of similar details in the campaigns of Baber or Aurengzebe. What they do know is derived chiefly, if not entirely, from the histories of their enemies. Malice and party spirit have done much dim the reputation of the illustrious general in his own country, but these disturbing passions have not been felt in other states; and, strange to say, no adequate opinion of his merits can be formed by his countrymen but by viewing the impression he has made on her enemies, or studying the history of his victories by them. Marlborough's exploits have made a prodigious impression on the Continent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John, Duke of Marlborough With Some Account of His Contemporaries and of the War of the Succession, Vol. 1 The first edition of this work, in one volume, was intended as a mere sketch, chiefly for military readers, and was sug gested by the perusal of the Marlborough Despatches on their first appearance. The favourable reception which the work received from the public, and the increasing interest in the subject, has induced the Author in this edition to extend his original design, so as not only to embrace the political life of Marlborough, as well as the military, but to state at the end of every paragraph, as in his History of Europe, the authorities on which it was founded. In this way it has insensibly turned into a history of the War of the Succession, at least in those portions of it with which Great Britain is immediately concerned.

What is usually called Chap. genius, says Johnson, is nothing but strong natural ' parts accidentally turned in one direction. But this instance, like many others, would seem to show that there is a natural bent in some minds to particular pursuits, which, as well as general talent, leads to future greatness. Like many other men destined to future distinction, he made no great figure as a scholar; a circumstance easily explained, if we recollect that it is on the knowledge of words that the reputation of a schoolboy is founded? of a man on that of things. But the Despatches now published demonstrate that, before he attained middle life, he was a proficient in at least Latin, French, and English composition; for letters in each language are to 2,3. be found in all parts of his correspondence.1 From his first youth young Churchill was distinguished by the elegance of his manners and the beauty of his His first countenance and figure?advantages which, coupled with and eariy the known loyal principles and the sufferings of hisatcurt.on father in the royal cause, procured for him, at the early age of fifteen, the situation of page in the household of the Duke of York, afterwards James II. His inclination for arms was then so decided that he was rarely absent at the reviews of the Guards; and on occasion of one of them, being asked by his royal patron in what manner he should provide for him, he threw himself on his knees, and begged he might get a pair of colours This curious fact is thus attested in a copy of Vegetins, by the Rev. G. North: From this very book John Churchill, scholar of this school, afterwards the celebrated Duke of Marlborough, first learnt the elements of the art of war, as was told to me, George North, on St Paul'...
