Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Review of American History We must look upon the discovery of America as one of a great number of events and movements that center about the year 1450, a period which we usually associate with the name of the renaissance. The Feudal System of the Middle Ages was breaking down and was giving way to more centralized govern ments. The Tudors brought Tudor Absolutism to England; Ferdinand and Isabella were married and Spain became a united kingdom; Portugal became a single monarchy under Henry. These changes led to an increased feeling of nationality on the part of the people of each of these nations and made possible the rivalries which played suchan important part in the development of American History.

This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 830 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Review, Vol. 1 Any careful students of modern life assert that they discern in society a widespread discontent with the results of his torical study as pursued to-day. Assuming this feeling to be well founded, they attribute the supposed feebleness of contemporary historical writing to these causes: an unscientific method, the necessary complexity of the subject, and the incapacity of democ racies to develop the imagination, either scientific or literary. The truth or untruth of this charge may well engage the attention, both of those who have devoted their lives to historical study and of those who scan the past either for a better understanding of present conditions or for guidance in the future. It may be impos sible to refute it absolutely, for we shall be known as we are only after a lapse of time sufficient to secure historical perspective, but there are many weighty considerations which seem to make its validity very doubtful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Review, Vol. 15: October, 1909, to July, 1910 Among your great contributions to civilization President Eliot rightly counts your great inventions; still, as science is universal, inventions are generally suggestions from the work of other people, and those achieved by you would certainly have come out sooner or later with the progress of science. What has come from you, in opposition to the general modern tendency, is your respect for woman, the place you have made for her among mankind, together with the strong current of pure thought, which you oppose to the literature of sensualism flourishing among other races. Certainly asceticism, in the monastic times, and chivalry, in the Middle Ages, show well enough that Europe is capable of engendering the strongest currents of purity; even yours is probably only a survival of English Puritanism, kept alive under more favorable conditions; but, with regard to purity of thought towards woman, the present leadership of the world belongs indeed to America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Review, Vol. 4 That the people of the United States are fond of history is shown by their eagerness to make it, rather than by any habit of turning to the past as furnishing precedents for guidance in times of uncertainty or peril. We are at this moment engaged in an exciting episode of a contest already centuries old; we feel the liveliest interest in the details of the historical drama going on before our eyes; and we understand the importance of keeping an accurate record of the deeds of our popular heroes. We not only require detailed information as to what they say and do in moments of crisis and peril, but we insist on exact statements of what they would have done had circumstances been otherwise, what they declined to do, what they eat and drink or refuse to partake of, how they are clad and how they prepare themselves for a plunge into the sea under an enemy's guns. The events now passing are like the meteorological observations of Arctic travellers or the cases before a crowded court; they accumulate faster than we can dispose of them; and it will require a generation of historical writers to sift the crude materials and to work out the story of our own times. Side by side with this fierce interest in the events of the day is a disregard, almost an ignorance, of the past history of America. At the end of a quiet and uneventful decade, the nation has suddenly awakened to the possibility of a new career; but it seems disposed to look on the war, its causes and its results, as sudden and unexpected; as something to be met and settled with due reference to the conditions of the end of the nineteenth century, but with an impatient ignoring of the slow development of a Spanish question in the four hundred years which have rolled away since America was discovered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Review, Vol. 5: October, 1899, to July, 1900 The question of the origin of the use of lots in elections need not detain us long. When the towns first began to use them it is impossible to say. It may be that the introduction of the lot and of indirect election was coincident, but if we assume, as seems likely,4 that the indirect election preceded the lot, we may assume that the indirect election, while it did away with some of the vio lence and corruption incident to direct elections, did not entirely remedy the evil. Bribery and corruption, intimidation and violence still continued, and the further step to the choice of electors by lot was introduced. Where the idea of using the lot in elections came from is a question that needs little investigation. The practice of casting lots is as old as the world's history, and when the necessity of a new system of Choosing electors arose, the communes must have found on all sides references to this ancient system, the adop tion of which seemed to point to a remedy for the evils from which they were suffering.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Review: General Index to Volumes I.-X.; 1895-1905 Reviews are entered under the reviewer, author, editor, translator, and writer of an introduction. The name of a reviewer is entered in small capitals, and (r) precedes the title of the work reviewed. In other cases the word reviewed is used. Subordinate connection with a book reviewed is indicated by (trans), or The title of a book reviewed is placed in quotation marks; but only such portion of the title is given as is necessary to identify the work, and a biography is entered under the heading of the subject by means of the word by or biog. By. The index is not a complete subject catalogue of the reviews. They are entered under the subjects when these are distinct and limited, or else uncommon, and the delimiting facts are shown by the titles of the books. This plan calls for the subject entry of biographies, books on special periods, such as the Restoration or the reign of one monarch, and books on such fields as the Philippines; in general, the attempt has been made. To give a subject catalogue of such books as are not usually searched for under the names of the authors. The com piler recognizes the inconvenience of this personal selection but with the limited space at his disposal it has not been possible to do justice to all the departments of the review, and the reviews have been entered fully by title in the separate indexes. The obituary notices are the only items in the department of Notes and News which find 'a place in the index.

He had everywhere and always the deepest sense of duty. When there was work to be done, he was ready to do it, no matter how unsavory or distaste ful. Grant bears Witness to his subordinate's unfailing earnestness and he adds further that Meade was able to take the plan of another, even when he did not approve of it, and carry it out as zealously as if it were his own. Those who have made some study of the history of the war, North and South, will appreciate how rare a quality this was.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Review, Vol. 12: October 1906 to July 1907 This paternal system had its myriad of agents of all ranks, jurisdictions, and qualities, all vying in the activity of their ad ministrative energies, and encroaching upon the apparent juris dictions of one another in a way which seems almost to preclude any exact definition of their proper positions and functions. Against this somewhat kaleidoscopic background, however, one figure stands silhouetted with tolerable clearness - that of the in tendant, at once the most active and the most characteristic royal Officer of the prerevolutionary era. In New France as in Old, this special custodian of the royal absolutism filled a post which is cap able of being described with some exactness, and exercised powers which are susceptible of definition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Historical Review, Vol. 11: October, 1905 to July, 1906 Navy,1 has been generally overlooked. It would be strange indeed were these the only instances during a period of fifty years when minutes of the kind were made. Now a search among the archives of the Public Record Office reveals that there is an abundance of such material, not only of earlier date than anyone has stated, but also of later times, which have not been utilized. In View of their bearing upon the history of the council, it seems useful to give an account of these newly found manuscripts. They are of various kinds, corresponding to the different proceedings of the council. The earliest and simplest form of record made by the council was in connection with the petitions, of which thousands were received. It is well known how suitors addressed petitions to the king and council seeking remedies which they could not obtain from the ordinary courts. The responses were made regularly upon the backs of the same strips of parchment, in words as few as possible. As the council did not usually try cases, the endorsements consisted of brief directions to the suitors, the judges, or the chancellor: to the effect that the parties should sue at common law, or in the chan cery, that writs should be issued, that judgment be rendered, and the like. The response assumed greater length when a point of law had to be explained. Not that all of the numberless responses were actually made by the council, for there were hearers and triers of petitions appointed to do much of the work. But it is plain that even too much of the council's time was spent in the hearing of private petitions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
