Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, From the Earliest Times to the Death of George the Second, Vol. 3 of 4 The two parties which had long divided the kingdom, under the names of Whig and Tory, now seemed to alter their titles; and, as the old epithets had lost their virulence by frequent use, the Whigs were now styled Hanoverians, and the Tories were branded with the ap pellation of J acobltes The former boasted of a pro testant king, the latter of an hereditary monarch; the former urged the wisdom of their new sovereign, and the latter alleged that theirs was an Englishman. It is easy to perceive, that the choice would rest upon him whose wisdom and religion promised the people the greatest security.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Earliest Times to the Death of George the Second This slight repulse only served to inflame the' king's ardour to take revenge upon the enemy; and he soon after sent a body of eight thousand men to Calais, nu der the command of the earl of Shrewsbury; and an other body of six thousand followed shortly after, under the conduct of Lord Herbert. He prepared to follow himself with the main body and rear; and arrived at Calais, attended by numbers of the English nobility. But he soon had an attendant, who did him still more honour. This was no less a personage than Maximi lian, emperor of Germany, who had stipulated to assist him with eight thousand men; but, being unable to perform his engagements, joined the English army with some German and Flemish soldiers, who were useful in giving an example of discipline to Henry's new-levied. Soldiers. He even enlisted himself in the English service, wore the cross of St. George, and received pay, a hun dred crowns per day, as one of Henry's subjects and captains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 3 of 4: From the Revolution to the Death of George the Second; Designed as a Continuation of Mr. Hume's History I. IN the beginning of April, the duke of Cum berland began his march from Aberdeen, and on the twelfth passed the deep and rapid river Spey, without opposition from the rebels, though a detachment of them appeared on the opposite side. Why they did not dispute the passage is not easy to be conceived: but, indeed, from this instance of neglect, and their subsequent conduct, we may conclude they were under a total infatuation. His royal highness proceeded to Nairn, where he received intelligence, that the enemy had advanced from Inverness to Culloden, about the distance of nine miles from the royal army, with intention to give him battle. The design of Charles was to march in the night from Culloden, and surprise the duke's army at daybreak: for this purpose the English camp had been reconnoitred; and on the night of the fifteenth the High land army began to march in two columns. Their design was to surround the enemy, and attack them at once on all quarters: but the length of the columns embarrassed the march, so that the army was obliged to make many halts the'men had been under arms during the whole preceding night, were faint with hunger and fatigue, and many of them overpowered with sleep. Some Were unable to pro ceed; others dropped off unperceived in the dark and the. March was retarded in such a manner, that it would have been impossible to reach the duke's camp before sunrise.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, From the Revolution to the Death of George II, Vol. 2 of 4 II. Such were the sentiments of the queen; and her ministers seem to have acted on the same principles, though perhaps party motives may have helped to influence their conduct. The allies concurred in opposing with all their might any treaty which could not gratify their difl'erent views of avarice, interest, and ambition. They practised a thousand little artifiees to intimm the queen, to excite a jealousy of Lewis, to blacken the characters of her ministers, to raise and keep up a dangerous ferment among her people, by which her life and government were en dangered. She could not fail to resent these efforts, which greatly perplexed her measures, and obstructed her design. Her ministers were sensible of the dangerous predicament in which they stood. The queen's health was much im paired; and the successor countenanced the opposite fac tion. In case of their sovereign's death, they had nothing to expect but prosecution and ruin for obeying her com mands; they saw no hope of safety, except in renouncing their principles, and submitting to their adversaries; or else in taking such measures as would hasten the pacifi tion, that the troubles of the kingdom might be appeased, and the people be satisfied with their conduct, before death should deprive them of their sovereign's protection. With this view they advised her to set on foot a private nego tiation with Len is to stipulate certain advantages for her own subjects in a concerted plan of peace; to enter into such mutual confidence with that monarch, as would anti cipate all clandestine transactions to her prejudice, and in some measure enable her to prescribe terms for her allies. The plan was judiciously formed; but executed with too much precipitation. The stipulated advantages were not such as she had a right to demand and insist upon; and. Without all doubt, better might have been obtained, had not. The obstinacy of the allies abroad, and the violent conduct of the whig faction at home, obliged the ministers to relax in some material points, and hasten the conclusion of the treaty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of England, Vol. 1: During the Reign of George the Third, 1745 1770 In preparing this work, I have been much aided by information derived from private sources. About forty years since, the late Mr. Edward Hawke Locker, a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital with the sanction of the Royal family, and with the assistance of many distinguished persons, collected voluminous materials for a life of George the Third. the progress of the work, however, was stopped, by the interposition of Lord Liverpool, then at the head of the Government, who thought the time had not yet arrived for such a publication. Mr. Frederick Locker has kindly placed at my disposal the paper collected by his father for the important work which he had undertaken; and I have thus been enabled to obtain much curious and interesting information, relating both to the public transactions and the secret history of this reign.
