Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Francis Drake Drake's life was passed in one of the most stormy periods of English history. He was under twenty years of age when Elizabeth came to a throne which she did not seem likely to retain, for, as the daughter of Anne Boleyn, she was looked upon as a bastard by all true Catholics, and they maintained the right of her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots. The danger to England came at first from France, where Mary married the Dauphin, and became Queen of France on her husband's accession in July, 1559. It then seemed likely that England would fall to the French monarchy. But the new king died in December, I 560, and the danger from France passed with the return of Mary to Scotland the following year. And Mary soon alienated her Scottish subjects, and fled to England in 1568. Her arrival caused considerable embarrassment to the English Government, who even tually determined to keep her in England, and there she remained for nineteen years, the centre of Catholic plots against Elizabeth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Family and Heirs of Sir Francis Drake, Vol. 1 of 2 As the story thus newly revealed seemed, from a family point of view, to be worth clearing up, I made some notes about it, to bind in with my copy of Mr. Hervey's book, intending to add thereto a few particulars respecting each successive Lady Drake - her lineage, the amount of her fortune, and any personal details discoverable. It soon appeared, however, that the addenda would be out of proportion to the volume to be illustrated, wherefore, at the suggestion of those most interested in the matter, I abandoned that plan, and began a more comprehensive history of the Drakes of Buckland.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Francis Drake's Memorable Service Done Against the Spaniards in 1587 This terrible Visitation on the coasts of the Spanish monarch Drake, who appears to have been as witty as he was bold, was wont jocosely to term the singeing of King Philip's beard. From Cadiz Sir Francis directed his course towards the Azores, where his customary good fortune attended him. Off the island of Terceira he fell in with and captured a stupendous and richly-laden carrack, returning from a lengthened voyage to the East Indies. As well from the commodities as from the journal, charts, and other papers and documents found on board that prize, our merchants learned for the first time the immense commercial resources of the East. It was, in fact, the capture of this magnificent vessel that suggested the first idea of establishing the East India Company. The name of Drake, although he did not live to see the company incorporated by royal charter, is thus identified with the most superb acquisition of the British crown.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Family and Heirs of Sir Francis Drake, Vol. 2 of 2 AS we pass from the life story Of Sir Francis Drake, the Par liamentarian baronet, to that of his nephew and heir, Francis, only surviving son Of Major Thomas Drake, we feel at first as though we were quitting old friends for the society Of new and less interesting companions. The scene is the same, but we hardly notice it, so disconcerting is the almost complete change of persons who now occupy the foreground. Many who have lately engaged our attention henceforth disappear we may hear of them indirectly sometimes, but their doings have no further bearing on our story. Others, who have been waiting for notice, press forwards for a little while, then they also pass away and make place for an advancing younger generation, different in many ways from the preceding ones, born in more peaceful times - but not, for that reason, less worthy of commemoration in our family history. By degrees, too, as we proceed, and the old order of individuals changes, laws and customs likewise alter, slowly but surely bettering the condition Of people in almost every rank of life.

He was not dead before his life became a fairy tale, and he himself as indistinct as Sir Guy of Warwick or Croquemitaine. His exploits loomed in mythical extravagance through the mists in which, for high reasons of State, they long remained enveloped, and to the people he seemed some boisterous hero of a folk-tale outwitting and belabouring a clumsy ogre.
