Book The English Historical Review  1886  Vol  1

Download or read book The English Historical Review 1886 Vol 1 written by Mandel Creighton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 848 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, Vol. 20: January, 1905 Sir George has written not only the fairest account Of the war ever penned by an English historian, but has brought to light a vast fund Of new and interesting material. 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.

Book The English Historical Review  Vol  32

Download or read book The English Historical Review Vol 32 written by Reginald L. Poole and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, Vol. 32: 1917 Any account of the study of modern history in the English universities must naturally begin with the foundation of the professorships of that subject at Oxford and Cambridge by George I. Yet it must not be inferred that the subject was not read by young men in the universities before that date. It was part of their private reading; and when they studied it they did so for their own pleasure or profit, not because it was prescribed by authority. The only recognized historical study was ancient history. That flourished most at Oxford, where Camden in 1622 had founded a chair for the subject and endowed it with an annual stipend of 140 per annum, and where the existence of the University Press did much to encourage the publication of works bearing on ancient history. It cannot be said that the establishment of professorships of modern history at Oxford and Cambridge was due to any demand for such teaching in the universities themselves. The impulse came from outside. Statesmen and men of the world had long been agreed on the educational value of history and on the practical utility of a knowledge of modern history. Their ideas on the subject can be gathered from Bolingbroke and Chesterfield. History, wrote Bolingbroke, is the study 'of all others the most proper to train us up to private and public virtue'. It is useful in forming our moral character and making us better men. In the first place it supplies us with a stock of good examples. In the second place, 'To converse with historians is to keep good company; many of them were excellent men, and those who were not have taken care to appear such in their writings'.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, Vol. 17: April, 1902 In this connexion it may be noticed that he is one of the very few early kings whose wife's name has been recorded. It occurs on an agate seal preserved at the Hague, which was first explained by Hommel, and which reads, Gudea, patesi of Shirpurla, and Gin umun pa ud du his wife.' The latter name means Maiden of Marduk, ' or of the planet Jupiter.31 Hommel and Radau read the name simply gin-dun pa ud da. This mention of his wife points to her having been a personage of some consequence. It may be that it was through her be secured the throne, and she may have been the daughter of Ur Bau.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1887, Vol. 2: Published Quarterly If now we ask whether we may accept the picture of the empress drawn in the Secret History' for a true and accurate portrait, we can answer unhesitatingly an emphatic Yes. All the principal traits of this picture are certainly correct; and they are borne out not only by the corroborating testimony of other contemporaries, but also to a greater extent by its marked internal fidelity to life.32 There are portraits of which we feel at the first glance, without knowing the living originals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1904, Vol. 19 It is in vain that we look through the meagre official records that have survived23 for reference to this far inland traffic of the colonists. 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.
