Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil Wars and Monarchy in France, in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries: A History of France Principally During That Period As a German I venture to say a word upon the History of France. Great peoples and states have a double character - one national, and the other belonging to the destinies of the world. Their history, in a similar manner, presents a twofold aspect. So far as it forms an essential feature in the development of humanity generally, or records a pervailing influence exercised upon that development, it awakens a curiosity which extends far beyond the limits of nationality; it attracts the attention and becomes an object of study even to those who are not natives of the lands whose story is narrated. Perhaps the difference between the Greek authors who have treated on the history of ancient Rome in its flourishing period, and the Romans themselves, consists in the fact that the Greeks have regarded the subject as it affected the whole world, while the Romans have looked at it nationally. The object is the same: the writers differ in the positions from which they view it, but together they inform posterity.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Wars of the French Revolution, From the Breaking Out of the War in 1792, to the Restoration of a General Peace in 1815, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprehending the Civil History of Great Britain and France, During That Period If time were measured by events instead of years, centuries might be said to have passed during the age in which we live. To com. Press the records of these transcendently important occurrences into a moderate compass; to narrate them in a connected and lucid order; and to furnish a memorial, not merely instructive and interesting to his contemporaries, but useful to the future historian; have been the primary objects of the author's labours. A work undertaken with such views, will, of course, be rather a record of facts than a medium of opinions. The time indeed has not yet arrived for exploring the secrets of cabinets, or for developing the hidden springs by which the principal actors in this mighty contest have been actuated. This is the work of posterity, and can never be successfully accomplished till time shall have shed his mel lowing influence over the passions and feelings which still continue to agitate the present age. In presenting to the public the history of the Wars arising out of the French Revolution, the most scrupulous regard has been had to fidelity of representation. No event has been suppressed, nor has any fact been distorted, to gratify the partiality, or to 'advance the interests of a party. Truth has been the polar star by which the author has shaped his course; and though he makes no pretensions to freedom from political predilection, . He assumes perhaps a higher. Merit, when he declares, thatin the pro scontion of this undertaking, he is not conscious of having in any instance suffered his mind to be biased, or his narrative tinctured, byany thing, approaching either to national antipathies, or to party asperity.

This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Warriors of the Civil Wars of France and England, Vol. 2: Warriors of the Seventeenth Century There is no reason to believe that the sins of the father were visited upon the son by the Kaiser; nor does it appear that Ferdinand even tampered with his religious faith; which, considering the mind of the man and his counsellors, is yet more surprising. It is probable that he associated with other German Princes at the Imperial capital, and that the three or four years he passed there under surveillance were devoted to a mili tary education, since those who, in after years, were least inclined to favour him admit that he was well adapted, both by natural abilities and acquired endow ments, to form a great commander. He could here ob serve from a distance the progress of affairs between the King and his Parliament, as they trended towards a warlike issue; and he was well disposed from every consideration to offer his sword to his uncle, who, it is believed, interceded with the Emperor for his release in 1642. Prince Rupert, with his younger brother Maurice, arrived in England in that year; and, that he might have a status in the quarrel, Charles the First advanced him to the dignity of the British Peerage by the titles of Duke of Cumberland, Earl of Holderness, and Baron Kendal, and constituted him Knight of the Garter.

In the instructive records of such a history, we should see a people, sunk but a few short years ago in the lowest depths of ignorance, and brutalized by the most barbarous despotism, calling into action, after their emancipation from bondage, those dormant energies of the soul, and those latent virtues of the heart, which we had been taught to believe them incapable of possessing, and, not only forming themselves into an organised and well regulated community, but starting, almost per saltum, into notice, as statesmen, legislators and historians.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Paris Commune: Including the "First Manifesto of the International on the Franco-Prussian War," the "Second Manifesto of the International on the Franco-Prussian War," "the Civil War in France" In an edition recently issued by a New York publisher, the two manifestoes on the franco-prussian War are omitted, and the English abridgment of Engels' intro duction is still further abridged to make it conform to the absence of the omitted documents. Deeming it but just to both Marx and Engels that their work should be given to the public in an unabridged form, we present in this volume the first complete edition of the essays by Marx and the introduction by Engels published in the English language. The only liberty we have taken with the text is the addition of chapter titles to The Civil War in France.

Download or read book Iron and Blood written by Henry Heller and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heller refutes Roland Mousnier's thesis that early modern France was a society of orders in which most people knew and accepted their status in society. This concept of order certainly had meaning for the sixteenth-century élite because of aristocratic domination over land and people, but it is not clear that this was also the view of the commoners. Heller maintains that for peasants, craftsmen, and merchants the decline of the French economy started at the beginning rather than the middle of the sixteenth century. This resulted in unrest which spread from town to countryside, culminating in the three great popular movements of the civil wars: the Calvinist Revolt of the 1560s, the Catholic League's challenge to the power of the Monarchy, and the revolts of the 1590s. Heller stresses that the history of sixteenth-century France is one of both resistance and domination. It was often the upper class which took the initiative, directing much of the violence toward the commoners, and many of those involved in the civil wars were fighting for their own economic positions. Iron and Blood helps to clarify the significance of the French Civil Wars by showing them to be rooted in an aristocratic reaction against the earlier social unrest which began among the common people.
