Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the English Revolution The object of the work here introduced to the notice of the British public, is to trace the rise, progress, arid final completion of the English Revolution of 1688; to exhibit all the singular events of that important era, without the party-spirit of the English historians, on the one hand, or the tameness of the German, on the other; and, omitting all details not immediately bearing on the subject, to give a grand and faithful picture of one of the mightiest events in the history of the world. The high reputation of Professor Dahlmann justified the expectation that he would produce a work worthy of the subject. In the opinion of his own countrymen, at least, this expectation has been more than fulfilled. The History of the English Revolution was received in the most flattering manner, and was soon out of print.

To His Death I have no fear of its importance being underrated; our revolution, in surpassing, did not make that of England less great in itself; they were both victories in the same war, and to the profit of the same cause; glory is their common attri bute; they do not eclipse, but set off each other. My fear is least their true character should be mistaken, least the world should not assign to them that place which is properly theirs in the world's history.

This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the English Revolution, Vol. 1: From the Accession of Charles I IT may be asked why, after the many works that have appeared in England on the subject of which these volumes treat, it has been thought necessary to translate the present work. For an answer the reader is referred to M. Guizot's pre face, in which he gives his reasons for writing the book at all. There, after doing full justice to the merit of those authors who have enriched English literature with their views of this im portant period in the national life of their coun try, he shows that a complete history Of the English revolution is still found wanting, and that the French revolution having placed the events of 1688 in a new light, the narrative of Hume and other historians are no longer suffi cient to satisfy the present age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginning of the Revolution This bold attitude of the American people caused no little annoyance and anxiety to the Administration. The case was, moreover, complicated by the change of sentiment in England regarding the justice of the policy initiated by Grenville. The English people were not prepared to repudiate their own love of liberty, nor to force upon any of their fellow-subjects the meas ures of absolutism against which their own glorious history had been a standing protest. Especially were the commercial and manufacturing towns in England dissatisfied with this policy; for it had reacted most un favorably upon them, interrupting trade, injuring credit, and creating much suffering and discontent. We are not surprised, therefore, to find that both sympathy and interest prompted the nation to urge the repeal of an act which was as hostile to their own welfare as to that of America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Causes of the Success of the English Revolution of 1640-1688: A Discourse Designed as an Introduction to the History of the Reign of Charles the First The success by which the English Revolution was crowned has not only been permanent, but has borne a double fruit: its authors founded Constitutional Monarchy in England; and in America, their descendants founded the Republic of the United States. These great events are now completely known and understood; time, which has given them its sanction, has also shed over them its light. Sixty years ago France entered on the path opened by England, and Europe lately rushed headlong in the same direction. It is my purpose to show what are the causes which have crowned constitutional monarchy in England, and republican government in the United States, with that solid and lasting success which France and the rest of Europe are still vainly pursuing, through those mysterious trials and revolutionary struggles, which, according as they are well or ill passed through elevate or pervert a nation for ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revolutions in English History, Vol. 2 In this volume, as in the volume preceding it, my object is not simply to enumerate causes and to discourse about them, but to present them along with the facts in which they exist as living influences. It is my wish that no other book should be needed to enable the reader to realize the purpose for which the present book is written. But my narrative is necessarily constructed on a principle of selection. Facts have their place in it from their relation to change and progress; and those so related in the greatest degree, are made the most prominent. In looking back on what I have written, I see that in the chapter on the reformed doctrine in England, before the meeting of the Reformation Parliament, I should have acknowledged my obligation to Merle D'Aubigne in pointing my attention to some facts connected with the life of Erasmus, with which I might not otherwise have become acquainted; and no writer can traverse the first half of the sixteenth century in our history in the time to come, without feeling indebted to the industry of Mr. Froude.

Download or read book The Causes of the English Revolution 1529 1642 written by Lawrence Stone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dividing the nation and causing massive political change, the English Civil War remains one of the most decisive and dramatic conflicts of English history. Lawrence Stone's account of the factors leading up to the deposition of Charles I in 1642 is widely regarded as a classic in the field. Brilliantly synthesising the historical, political and sociological interpretations of the seventeeth century, Stone explores theories of revolution and traces the social and economic change that led to this period of instability. The picture that emerges is one where historical interpretation is enriched but not determined by grand theories in the social sciences and, as Stone elegantly argues, one where the upheavals of the seventeenth century are central to the very story of modernity. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Clare Jackson, Trinity Hall, Cambridge.

Download or read book England and the French Revolution 1789 1797 Classic Reprint written by William Thomas Laprade and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and the French Revolution, 1789-1797 By the close of the year 1791 no question in English politics received greater attention than did the French Revolution. The first thing that requires explanation in this discussion, therefore, is the process by which the domestic affairs of France became in so short a time the vital question on which the political parties in England were divided. Several events which took place in the latter part Of 1789, in 1790, and in the early months Of 1791 prepared the way for the introduction of this troublesome question into the party politics of Great Britain. Chief among these events was the publication of three pamphlets. It is not likely that any one of these productions had the effect which its author anticipated. Probably no one of them, if left alone, would have exerted any considerable influence on the English people. Their importance lies in the subsequent events to which they had been a necessary prelude, and we cannot understand these events without some knowledge Of the nature of the pamphlets and the circumstances which at tended their publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution and the English Novel This study in the tendenz novel was begun with the idea of paralleling Dr. Hancock's book, The French Revolution and the English Poets, in furnishing detailed consideration of a literary form which Professor Dowden's general treatment of the period necessarily presents in outline merely. It is evident, however, that the Revolutionary poets and the Revolutionary novelists must rest their claims to our interest on different grounds. A discussion of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, and Shelley needs no justification. But it must be confessed that the novelists we are about to consider can not escape the condemnation of mediocrity. There is scarcely one of them whose work has lived through the intervening century. What, then, shall be our apology for invading their well-merited obscurity? There are two distinct uses of the historical methods in the study of literature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monk's Contemporaries: Biographic Studies on the English Revolution In the English Revolution, two figures, Charles I. and Cromwell, tower above all others, and fill the history. Among the personages who, though they do not so largely occupy the stage, took a considerable part in the scene, Monk is not the only one who deserves to be closely studied and intimately known. When I published my "Collection des Memoires relatifs a la Revolution d'Angleterre," I prepared sketches of the principal actors, and particularly of those who were at once actors and historians, similar to that which I had already written of General Monk. I have now collected these biographic studies into a volume; all of them have been carefully revised and completed, and some are entirely new.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 4 My request to make further researches in the English archives was cheerfully granted, and in the most liberal terms, by the Earl Of Granville, and the permission was continued by the Earl of Derby. -indeed, there seemed to prevail in the foreign Office a readiness to let every thing be investigated and made known respecting the past policy Of Great Britain toward the United States. The Ameri can government has manifested the same disposition, and this I hold to be wise. The two great cosmopolitan nations are entering on a new era in their relations to one another; and their statesmen may mutually derive lessons alike from the errors which disturbed the past, and from what was done well. The rule in natural science that life divides is equally true Of nations. The United States and Great Britain will each live its great and divergent life; but it is to be hoped that the same ideas Of freedom, truth, and justice will be developed in them both, and bring them nearer each other. I have specially to thank Lord Tenterden for having favored me with copies Of papers which establish the correctness Of my narrative where it had been unjustly called in question.
