Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch Republic and the American Revolution Another European state which had been greatly offended by the treaty of Paris in 1763 was Prussia, now at the height of its prosperity and power. Frederick the Great concluded, in 1756, the Convention of Westminster With England, and the latter was his only ally during the greater part of the Seven Years' War; but when Bute replaced Pitt in the English cabinet, British policy changed. All the provisions of the Convention were broken successively by England. The subsidies to Frederick were discontinued, and a sepa rate peace was concluded with France (that of Paris in 1763) without even guaranteeing the Prussian 'dominions as had been stipulated by the Convention.2 The consequence was that Frederick conceived a strong hatred for England in general and Bute in particular, which he later transferred to Lord North. Though the Prussian king, from political reasons, abstained from taking part openly with the Ameri cans against England, he strongly sympathized with them and assisted them indirectly in many ways. In later chapters will be shown his efforts to influence the Dutch Republic against her Old ally, Great Britain. Still a third power was anxious, if not to avenge Offences committed by England, yet to recover former losses. Spain, at the end of the Spanish succession war, had ceded to Eng land the island of Minorca and her stronghold Gibraltar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Dutch Republic, Vol. 1 of 3: A History The rise of the Dutch Republic must ever be regarded as one of the leading events of modern times. Without the birth of this great common wealth, the various historical phenomena of the sixteenth and following centuries must have either not existed, or have presented themselves under essential modifications. Itself an organised pro test against ecclesiastical tyranny and universal empire, the Republic guarded with sagacity, at many critical periods in the world's history, that balance Of power which, among civilised states, ought always to be identical with the scales Of divine justice. The splendid empire of Charles the Fifth was erected upon the grave of liberty. It is a consolation to watch afterwards the gradual but triumphant resurrection of its spirit. From the hand-breadth of territory called the province of Holland rises a power which wages eighty years' warfare with the most potent empire upon earth, and which, during the progress of the struggle, becoming itself a mighty state, and binding about its own slender form a zone of the richest possessions of earth, from pole to tropic, finally dictates its decrees to the empire of Charles.
