Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richelieu The struggle ended at last in the defeat of both the extreme parties; and their defeat was due to their collision with that passionate desire for unity which has been the dominant force in French history from that day to this. The Huguenots, the prototypes of the later Girondins, aimed at establishing a system of local isola tion, which must have efl'aced France from among the great states of Europe. The success of the League would have subjected the Gallican Church to Rome, and would have made France a vassal and tool of the Spanish Haps burgs. The victory of Henry IV. And the middle party, which represented national interests and instincts, was secured by Henry's acceptance of Roman Catholicism, and by his grant of the Edict of Nantes to the Huguenots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Cardinal Richelieu When undertaking to write a life of Cardinal Richelieu, I was quite sufficiently impressed with the difficulties of the task. In the first place, I knew that no one should attempt to give an account of the actions of any distinguished character, without making an earnest and unprejudiced inquiry into the motives, the carrying out, and the results of them in the next, I believe that there exists no such'extraordinary dis crepancy in the materials at command, respecting the history of any person, as in the instance of Richelieu. With some writers he is above humanity, - With at least as many, far beneath it and lastly, the man, his policy, his power, together with the personages he was mixed up with, and the times he lived in, have proved so attractive to novelists and play-writers, that Richelieu has taken a place and a colouring in the minds of general readers, which no sober and honest biographer can hope to remove or equal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richelieu, or the Conspiracy: Drama, in Five Acts It has been fairly remarked, by the most impartial historians, that he was no less generous to merit than severe to crime - that, in the various departments of the State, the Army, and the Church, he selected and distinguished the ablest aspirants that the wars which he conducted were, for the most part, essen tial to the preservation of France, and Europe itself, from the formidable encroachments of the Austrian House - that, in spite of those wars, the people were not oppressed with exorbitant imposts - and that he left the kingdom he had governed in a more flourishing and vigorous state than at any former period of the French history, or at the decease of Louis XIV.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richelieu and the Growth of French Power The literature in reference to Richelieu is also very voluminous. The great work Of M. Hanotaux, when complete, will contain the most valuable ac count oi Richelieu's life that has appeared. With such diligence and ability has M. Hanotaux studied his subject that his work will remain, I think, the permanent record of the career of the great Cardinal. This Life of Richelieu, when finished, will comprise four large volumes, and its size will perhaps deter the ordinary reader, but it is none too full for any one who wishes to familiarise himself with French history during the important period covered by Richelieu's administration.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economic Policies of Richelieu The economic aspect of Richelieu's achievements has been generally neglected, although it has been noticed by a few writers. One says that most historians have glided rapidly over the economic side of Richelieu's Others have claimed that there is a gap in our general histories, and that, if Richelieu had despised or neglected economic problems it would have shown a weakness in his spirit. Yet, far from putting them back to second place, he brought them to the front and studied them with passion. He certainly did not im part second-rate ideas in his treatment of commerce, the marine, and colonization.' Another writer who has treated Richelieu 's career from the administrative point of view, claims that the Cardinal's work as an administrator was not inferior to his political ability. He created in all directions a vigorous impulsion to national energy, which if continued along those lines would have produced wonderful results.' The same writer in defending the case of Richelieu as far as concerns his entire administrative career has succeeded in bringing to light the economic aspect of the man. In fact.

Download or read book France Under Mazarin Vol 1 written by James Breck Perkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from France Under Mazarin, Vol. 1: With a Review of the Administration of Richelieu The period covered by the administrations of Richelieu and Mazarin is one of both interest and importance. Yet I am not aware that any full history of this time has been written in English. The career and character of Riche lieu are, to a certain extent, familiar, but, perhaps, most have a general idea of his administration, rather than a familiarity with what he actually did. Both the character and administration of Mazarin are, I think, little known fto most English readers. Yet eighteen years which em braced the Fronde, and the treaties of Westphalia and the Pyrenees, cannot be deemed unimportant. If the policy of Richelieu is worth studying, the man who was his legitimate successor should not be ignored by students of history. The accuracy of modern scholarship demands, also, the examination of authorities which, until recently, have been largely inaccessible and wholly disregarded. There are a great number of contemporary memoirs covering this time. Many of the leading political characters have left their own records of their careers. It is upon such authori ties, chiefly, that any works treating of this period have been based, with the exception of a few recent French publications. The ideas entertained of the Fronde, for example, and of the characters of Mazarin and Cond , have been principally derived from various contemporary memoirs, of which those of Retz are best known and have been most used. Many of these memoirs furnish much information that is accurate and valuable, and a study of them is indispensable. But it is impossible.
