He has covered the British end Of the story more thoroughly than any American writer, not even excepting John Fiske, and at the same time It IS hard to realise that he IS not a native Of the United States, so Vivid is his local colour and SO fully do his judgments and sympathies tally With those Of our own best historians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1886, Vol. 1: Published Quarterly Ranke has not only written a larger number of mostly excellent books than any man that ever lived, but he has taken pains from the first to explain how the thing is done. He attained a position unparalleled in literature, less by the display of extraordinary faculties than by perfect mastery of the secret of his craft, and that secret he has always made it his business to impart. For his most eminent predecessors, history was applied politics, fluid law, religion exemplified, or the school of patriotism. Ranke was the first German to pursue it for no purpose but its own. He tried to make the generality of educated men understand how it came about that the world of the fifteenth century was changed into the Europe of the nineteenth. His own definite persuasions regarding church and king were not suffered to permeate his books. It was merito rions in Boeckh, but not heroic, to contain his feelings about the Attic treasure and the setting of Arcturus; but Ranke was con cerned with all the materials of abiding conflict, with every cause for which he cared and men are willing to kill or die. He expects no professional knowledge in his readers, and never writes for specialists. He seldom probes to the bottom the problems of public life and the characters of men, and passes dryshod over much that is in dispute. As he writes history, not biography, he abstains from the secrets of private life; and as he writes history, not dogma, he never sorts men into black and white according to their hearing in vital controversies. His evildoers escape the just rigour of the law, and he avoids hero-worship as the last ditch of prehistoric prejudice. He touches lightly on matters pertaining to the jurist and divine, but he has not their exclusiveness. His surface is more level than theirs, but his horizon is wider. The cup is not drained; part of the story is left untold; and the world is much better and very much worse than he chooses to say.

They deal in the briefest manner only with the most necessary details of administration. The almost unintentional allusions to this traffic, however, in the two curiously interesting Sloane manuscripts 24 not only furnish proof that it existed during a period of at least forty years before 1665, but also, When read in the light thrown upon them by the statement Of Acuna, afford reasonable evidence for supposing that its existence was continuous.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1919, Vol. 34 Dr. Levison, who more recently edited the Life, thought Dr. Wells too severe,3 but it deserves attention that on some of the vital points in which Eddi and Bede disagree, he accepts the evidence of Bede.4 Dr. Wells sought, as far as possible, to avoid the controversial features in the discussion in the present article I do not propose to Shirk them, and while in many par ticulars I am unable to follow Dr. Wells, I think his judgement errs on the side of leniency. But before coming to the more difficult questions I will take a couple of examples to illustrate Eddi's mode of treatment in regions unconnected with the crucial problems in Wilfrid's biography.

So much by way of preface. I will now proceed, first, to examine afresh 'the key of the position secondly, to examine the passage of William of Malmesbury Of which Mr. Round considers it to -be a paraphase; and thirdly, to set forth an interpretation of both and of the relation between them. And before doing so I will, for the sake of argument, give away to Mr. Round and the Quarterly Reviewer two points which I might well contest. (a) I will grant Mr. Round that Wace had William of Malmesbury in his mind when he wrote the crucial passage (although I certainly do not regard this as proved). (b) I will concede to the Quarterly Reviewer that the word escuz in the second place where it occurs in that passage (1. 7 823) stands for literal shields (although I do not consider this either as actually proved yet) 5 Thus I come out into the lists with both hands tied behind me - my right hand out Of consideration to Mr. Round and my left hand out Of consideration to the Quarterly Reviewer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1896, Vol. 11 N evertheless it must be admitted that there is really no sort of necessity to find so studious a motive for such a fairy tale as this of the pseudo-callisthenes. Really nothing more is required than the natural decay of that famous pretence, promulgated devoutly by Alexander's successors, if not by himself, that he was son of Ammon. In the centuries of little faith, that immediately preceded and fol lowed the Christian era, no one believed much in deities, but every one believed in magic. For what once gods did directly human agents came to be preferred, and the last Egyptian Pharaoh took inevitably the place of the Egyptian god. Nectanebo may have won already a place in folklore, if not by the merits of his reign, at least by the strange and sudden ending of it but, after all, the popular mind under the early Empire needed only to be assured that he was an Egyptian to accord him also the credit of being a magician.

Download or read book The English Historical Review Vol 36 Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, Vol. 36 Fifteen years ago, on 15 December 1905, Mr. R. L. Poole was entertained at a dinner in the hall of Balliol College to celebrate the completion of twenty years of this Review. In a speech in reply to the principal toast, he described the origin of the Review and its history up to that time, and, now that his long and distinguished editorship has come to an end, he has consented to the publication of part of this speech. It has been thought best to omit the more intimate and personal passages, but, except for a small addition to one of the quotations, the account of the beginnings which here follows is otherwise the same that was then given. The sketch of the history after the publication of the first number has not been added, because it would now appear only as an incomplete fragment. In the course of the speech, Mr. Poole said: 'We have published eighty numbers of the Review... Of these Mr. Creighton was editor of twenty-two, Mr. Gardiner of fourteen, Mr. Gardiner and I were jointly responsible for twenty-five; and I by myself can only take credit for seventeen.' Now the last figure would have to be raised to seventy-nine. As I began by saying, I want to speak not of myself but of the Review, for that is the real subject which we are celebrating, though it has to use me as a mouthpiece. I am going to ask you to listen while I tell you how the Review came into existence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1890, Vol. 5 Animated by a profound belief that the origins of medieval history had been written on wrong lines to serve the ends of Teutonic self-glorification, that the texts had been insufficiently studied, and that a large amount of interested speculation had been im ported to fill up the lacunae. Sweeping away the Teutonic tradi tion, he set himself to build up history anew from its very base, and to correct the results Of German erudition by a fresh and thorough investigation of the texts. He possessed important quali fications for the task, a keen logical understanding, a subtle sense of nice distinctions both of language and law, and untiring industry. The one virtue on which he prided himself, that of absolute scientific impartiality, is the one virtue which experience does not allow us to assign to those historians who give to burning questions a burning answer. The fact is that Fustel de Coulanges was a logician first and an historian afterwards. He has a wonderful eye for the unity of history, for the common properties of institutions, for the widely distributed consequences of some remote force. But he missed the complexity of events, and was, in the process Of simpli fication, apt to ignore the plurality of causes. Determined to extract a clear answer from the darkest oracles of the past, he Often submitted his texts to unwilling tortures. In his treatment Of institutions he was prone to overlook the political circumstances which contributed to their growth and gave them their distinctive colour, to View them in an unreal and stationary isolation, and to insist too strongly on those features which appeared to harmonise with his own dominating convictions. Always a clear and incisive writer, he excelled especially in the exposition and elucidation of texts. No one has better understood the art of eliciting the maxi mum of meaning out of the minimum of text, of developing the result into all its logical consequences, and Of exhibiting the process in an attractive and exhilarating form. Although every one of his works was in part, if not in entirety, a polemic, and sustained by a back ground Of intense personal feeling, he rarely departed from that sobriety which is the true note of genius. He is trenchant without bluster, imperious without insolence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1889, Vol. 4 In 1778 - just a hundred years ago - Lord Mansfield vacated the office of chief justice. His lordship had characterised Erskine's advocacy of freedom as puerile rant and declamation but Erskine's theories were destined to triumph within but a very short period. Rejected by Lord Mansfield, they were accepted by Lord Kenyon, a chief justice of a different and more enlightened type. Pitt and Fox alike admitted the force of the reformer's arguments, and it was Fox himself who in 1791 abandoned his previous attitude, and introduced his famous bill to amend the law of libel. Postponed for a time, through the action of Lord Thurlow, it was brought forward again in the following year, and, despite renewed opposi tion, passed into law.
