Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England From the Accession of James II, Vol. 4 Ocean broke; the interminable meadows intersected by trenches; the straight canals; the villas bright with paint and adorned with quaint images and inscriptions. He had lived during many weary months among a people who did not love him, who did not understand him, who could never forget that he was a foreigner. Those Englishmen who served him most faithfully served him without enthusiasm, without personal at tachment, and merely from a sense of public duty. In their hearts they were sorry that they had no choice but between an English tyrant and a Dutch deliverer. All was now changed. William was among a popu lation by which he was adored, as Elizabeth had been adored when she rode through her army at Tilbu ry, as Charles the Second had been adored when he landed at Dover. It is true that the old enemies of the House of Orange had not been inactive during the absence of the Stadtholder. There had been, not in deed clamours, but mutterings against him. He had, it was said, neglected his native land for his new kingdom. Whenever the dignity of the English flag, whenever the prosperity of the English trade was con cerned, he forgot that he was a Hollander. But, as soon as his well remembered face was again seen, all jealousy, all coldness, was at an end. There was not a boor, not a fisherman, not an artisan, in the crowds which lined the road from Honslaerdyk to the Hague, whose heart did not swell with pride at the thought that the first minister of Holland had become a great King, had freed the English, and had conquered the Irish. It would have been madness in William to travel from Hampton Court to Westminster without a guard; but in his own land he needed no swords or carbines to defend him. Do not keep the people off; he cried: let them come close to me: they are all my good friends. He soon learned that sump.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England From the Accession of James II, Vol. 5: Edited by His Sister, Lady Trevelyan I have thought it right to publish that portion of the continuation of the History of England which was fairly transcribed and revised by Lord Macaulay. It is given to the world precisely as it was left; no connecting link has been added; no reference verified; no authority sought for or examined. It would indeed have been possible, with the help I might have obtained from his friends, to have supplied much that is wanting; but I preferred, and I believe the public will prefer, that the last thoughts of the great mind passed away from among us should be pre served sacred from any touch but his own. Besides the revised manuscript, a few pages containing the first rough sketch of the last two months of William's reign are all that is left. From this I have with some difficulty de ciphered the account of the death of William. N o attempt has been made to join it on to the preceding part, or to supply the corrections which would have been given by the improving hand of the author. But, imperfect as it must be, I believe it will be received with pleasure and interest as a fit conclusion to the life of his great hero. I will only add my grateful thanks for the kind advice and assistance given me by his most dear and valued friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England From the Accession of James II, Vol. 4 William had been, during the whole spring, impatiently expected in Ulster. The Protestant settlements along the coast of that province had, in the course of the month of May, been repeatedly agitated by false reports of bis arrival. It was not, however, till the afternoon of the fourteenth of June that he landed at Carrickfergus. The inhabitants of the town crowded the main street and greeted him with loud acclamations: but they caught only a glimpse of him. As soon as he was on dry ground he mounted and set off for Belfast. On the road he was met by Schomberg. The meeting took place close to a white house, the only human dwelling then visible in the space of many miles, on the dreary strand of the estuary of the Laggan. A village and a cotton-mill now rise where the white house then stood alone; and all the shore is adorned by a gay succession of country-houses, shrubberies, and flower-beds. Belfast has become one of the greatest and most Nourishing seats of industry in the British Isles. A busy population of a hundred thousand souls is collected there. The duties annually paid at the Custom house exceed the duties annually paid at the Custom-house of London in the most prosperous years of the reign of Charles the Second. Other Irish towns may present more picturesque forms to the eye. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
