Download or read book History of England Vol 1 written by Frederick York Powell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Times to the Death of Henry VII Tms History of England was planned and has been written with an especial view to its use in Schools, and among younger students who read the subject. It contains, first, a connected relation of the main facts of the political and constitutional history in due chronological order; secondly, a sketch as thorough as space would allow, of the course and progress of the language, literature, and social life of the English people, in a series of chapters at the end of the various periods into which the history naturally falls. While I have not shrunk from noticing institutions and events for the full understanding of which the beginner may require the teacher's oral help and while I have thought it well to give the most dramatic and pathetic incidents of the story wherever I could in the very words of a contem porary authority, I have nevertheless tried to write in a simple, straightforward style, and have added a brief glossary of those few unusual or technical words I have been unable to avoid, or explain in the text. Maps, Plans, Tables, and Pedigrees have been supplied in sufficient detail to enable the reader to get a true idea of the relative positions of the persons or places named in the text.

And political, moral, and religious ideas of the ancient Japanese. Even the large untrue element which it contains is not without its value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grecian History From the Earliest State, Vol. 1 of 2: To the Death of Alexander the Great From the times of Alexander to the sacking of Con stantinople by the Turks, a period of fifteen centuries. The Grecian states, being under the influence of foreign councils and the control of foreign arms, had lost their existence as a nation. But neither did they submit to slavery without a struggle, nor did the power which subverted their government deface, at once, their national character, or destroy, but by degrees, the various effects which flowed from their original genius and political institutions.

Download or read book The History of Colonization Vol 1 of 2 written by Henry C. Morris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Colonization, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Times to the Present Day When I wish to judge of the spirit and the faults of the administration of Louis XIV, I must go to Canada. Its de formity is there seen as through a microscope. It is the fact, that in the dependency national weakness or strength is most apparent, which gives additional zest to this study; because of it, the subject gains its highest interest; for in the dispo sition of the problems incidental to distant realms the ulti mate destiny of a people may well be said to be presaged. The establishment of new germs of social, civil, and political organization in unexplored regions, and their subsequent growth in importance and influence, must ever be reckoned as most potent in results. How much the more significant this record becomes when the effects of these communities upon the citizens and the institutions of the parent state are considered. Such thoughts, due to a natural interest in the affairs of the day, aroused in the author a desire for detailed knowledge. At that time he was residing in a land where the issue of the utility and propriety of colonial endeavor has been for several years agitating the public mind; so that the Oppor tunity to hear arguments pro and con upon fundamental prin ciples was not lacking. As his examination extended, he found, of course, that a considerable number of volumes rela tive to colonization had been published. European scholars have not neglected this theme, while in the United States distinguished writers have elaborately described the early period of American development. More careful investigation, however, shows that of these treatises almost all are devoted to certain special phases, epochs, or fields of research, are written from the standpoint of some one nation, or are too technical to be available and interesting to the majority of readers. The main object of this book may therefore be stated to be succinctly to supply information of a department of human activity, the progress of which, by reason of its peculiar complexity, it is difficult to trace within a few pages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Spain, From the Earliest Period to the Close of the Year 1809, Vol. 1 The History of Spain, although very imperfectly known to the generality of English readers, constitutes an import ant part of the history of the world. There scarcely exists a nation of which the transactions have had a greater influence on the destinies of Europe, or of which the annals afford lessons of greater importance. Neither ancient nor modern history furnishes any instance of an empire in which so great natural advantages, and so many fortunate incidents, have been so completely counteracted by political mismanagement. These considerations render an historical view of the Spanish monarchy an object which must, at all times, command the attention of the a 2.
