Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations and Reprints From the Original Sources of European History, Vol. 1: Series for 1894 The period of the Renaissance and the Reformation, which began in England with the closing years of the fifteenth century, was a period of individualism, and gave a greater opportunity of influence to men of genius than any earlier period had furnished. The loosening of the bonds of custom in intellectual and ecclesiastical system, and in political and economic organization, gave to the opinions and actions of individual men far more significance than they could have had in the Middle Ages. While the great currents of change could nut, it is true, be diverted and from their course, yet particular direction and form were given to such change by the influence of men who possessed conspicuous abilities, occupied a powerful position, or represented strong forces. Four such men especially stand out as representative men of the early part of the sixteenth century, both as guides of its movements and types of its characteristics. Cardinal Wolsey was the great statesman, lull of schemes of control and reform in church and state, and of ambition for English influence in the councils of Europe. Sir Thomas More was the representative of the "new learning," the keen critical intellect and broadened interests and sympathies which were transforming the entire habits of thought of the nation. Latimer represented she earnest protestant spirit of moral reform and revolt against the old church system. Finally, I Henry VIII was not only the central figure and dominating force in England during the period of Ins long reign, not merely the occasion of the beginning of the English Retormation, but the type and precursor of that enthusiastic national spirit which was to reach its culmination in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. To give greater clearness to the personality of these four men is the object of the following selections from the abundant and picturesque contemporary records. I. Reports Of Venetian Ambassadors. I. A Description Of Cardinal Wolsey. Sebastian Giustmiani to the Senate, September 10th, 1519. Brown, Calendar of State Papers, Venetian, Vol. I, p. 560. The Cardinal of York is the same as he whom I have styled Orion, in a work composed by me. He is of low origin and has two brothers, one of whom holds an untitled benefice, and the oilier is pushing his fortune. He rules both the king and the entire kingdom. On my first arrival in England he used to say to me, "His majesty will do so and so." Subsequently, by degrees, he forgot himself, and commenced saying, "We shall do so and so." At this present he has readied such a pitch that he says, "I shall do so and so." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations and Reprints From the Original Sources of European History, Vol. 3 I. The Preparations for the Crusade. Taught by the experience of the other crusaders, the barons resolved to go by sea. Venice was the city that seemed most able to furnish sufficient vessels. Accordingly, Ville-Hardouin and five other embassadors were sent to make a bargain with the Venetians. The official compact is given in full in Muratori Rerum Italicarum Scriptores, vol xii, 323. The most important difference between that and Ville-Hardouin's version is that, according to the compact, the expedition was to start on St. Peter and St. Paul's day. For the events preliminary to the crusade, as well as for all the matters connected with it, consult Pears' excellent book, "The Fall of Constantinople." The second extract relates to one of the most hotly debated subjects connected with the crusade. Did Venice treacherously make a treaty with the sultan of Egypt? If she did, her conduct and the diversion of the crusade are more easily explained. Pears, pp. 263 ff., believes such a treaty was made and quotes references to support his view. But consult Wailly's very able discussion, pp. 431 ff, in which he brings out the difficulty in reconciling the dates and endeavors to show that this L'Estoire de Eracles is entirely untrustworthy. Consult also, Heyd: Levanthandel, I, 292 ff. and 440 ff. The third extract is self-explanatory. Ville-Hardouin and Robert de Clari are the most important authorities for the fourth crusade. The first was one of the leaders and gives us an official, "inspired" account. The second was one of the poorer knights and is especially useful as he tells us what the bulk of the army knew and thought, and enables us to check the statements of Ville-Hardouin. I. The compact with the Venetians. Ville-Hardouin: Couquete de Constantinople, ch. iv, v, vi. Nos. 18-24, 30. Old French. 18. "Sire, we have come to you in behalf of the noble barons of France who have taken the cross, in order to avenge the shame of Jesus Christ and to reconquer Jerusalem, if God will permit. And because they know no people who are as able to assist them, as you and your people, they pray you, for God's sake, to pity the land of Outre-mer and the shame of Jesus Christ, and to endeavor to furnish them transports and ships of war." 19. "Under what conditions?" asked the doge. "Under any conditions that you may propose or advise, if they are able to fulfill them," replied the messengers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early European History This book aims to furnish a concise and connected account of human progress during ancient, medieval, and early modern times. It should meet the requirements of those high schools and prepara tory schools where ancient history, as a separate discipline, is being supplanted by a more extended course introductory to the study of recent times and contemporary problems. Such a course was first outlined by the Regents of the University of the State of New York in their Syllabus for Secondary Schools, issued in 1910.

Download or read book A General History of Europe Vol 1 written by James Harvey Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General History of Europe, Vol. 1: Europe Before the Eighteenth Century; Brief Course It is obvious that in order to make room for all this new and essential material it has been impossible to include all the events which have usually been found in a general history. The task of selection is a difficult one. It is fair to ask the reader who is disturbed by the omission of some familiar name or topic to con sider what portion of the present narrative he would discard in favor of the incident he has in mind. In the matter of perspective it will be noted that less than half of the history is devoted to the story of the Western world down to'the Sixteenth century. Nearly a quarter of the space is assigned to the last fifty years. This corresponds to a growing demand that we should study the past in the interest of the present. The illustrations have been chosen with especial care, and the legends furnish much information which could not have been added to the text without complicating the narrative. The questions at the ends of the chapters will serve as a review and assist the student in summarizing his knowledge. Questions which cannot be answered from the text have sometimes been added in the hope of stimulating the student to carry on a little investigation of his own and to make some application of what he has learned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from System of Modern History, Vol. 1: Rise of the Modern European System Andl conceive that a system of this kind is of value, not only for the general laws which it discloses -laws without a knowledge of which all social action must be empirical - but also, and at present chiefly, for the altered aspect in which it may lead us to regard our own times and country. There are many obvious causes which tend to make us over-estimate the import ance of both of them; and for such an error the best corrective may be found in a study which teaches us the entire dependence of the present upon the past, and the mutual relations of each member of the whole Euro pean commonwealth. Our mental state, if we derive our notions only from the phenomena that surround us, will not be very different from that of the earliest speculators in astronomy, to whom the movements and order of the world were, as yet, necessarily unknown who conceived their own earth as the unmoved centre of the universe for whom every star was a divinity, every eclipse a portent, and the ordinary changes of the seasons scarcely assured as matters of scientific cer tainty. We need a wider View, and a better acquaintance with distant objects, to enable us to correct the errors of our first impressions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations and Reprints From the Original Sources of European History, Vol. 6: The Early Germans I. Germany proper is separated from the Gauls, the Rhaetians and the Pannonians by the Rhine and the Danube, from the Sarmatians and Dacians partly by the mountains, partly by their mutual fears. The ocean washes its other boundaries, forming deep bays and embracing large islands where various tribes and their kings have become known to us through the disclosures of recent war. The Rhine takes its rise in the steep and inaccessible fastnesses of the Rhaetian Alps, and, bending slightly to the west, flows into the northern ocean. The Danube, pouring down from the gently sloping ridge of Mount Abnoba, passes the borders of many nations, and finally forces its way through six outlets into the Black Sea; a seventh channel is swallowed up by the marshes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Europe, Vol. 1: From the Fall of Napoleon in 1815, to the Accession of Louis Napoleon in 1852 The periods which have passed over dur ing the thirty-seven years of European na tional peace - from the Fall of Napoleon, in 1815, to the Accession of Louis Napol eon, in 1852 - are not so vividly marked as those'which occurred during the wars of the French Revolution, but they have a distinctness of their own, and the changes in which they terminated were not less important. The resumption of cash pay ments in England in 1819 was not, to outward appearance, so striking an event as the battle of Austerlitz, but it was fol lowed by results of equal permanent im portance. The Reform Bill was not the cause of so visible a change in human af fairs as the battle of Wagram, but it was attended with consequences equally grave and lasting. Without pretending to have discerned with perfect accuracy, as yet, the most important of the many important events which have signalized this memo rable era, it may be stated that it natu rally divides itself into five periods.
