Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reign of Philip the Third, King of Spain, Vol. 2: The First Four Books The collected treasures of America, over which the cortes had not any control, enabled Charles V. to trample on the liberties of his own subjects, and to threaten neighbouring states with universal dominion. The ambition of the emperor descended, together with his immense resources, to his son, Philip II. and engaged him in projects beyond his abilities. The monarch was governed by a lust of power, and the people were seized with a spirit of emigration. The energy of the nation was diverted from domestic industry, the true source of national wealth and grandeur, and turned to distant enterprises of colonization and of war. The monarchy became faint through the loss of its blood and treasure; and the power, on which its vast ambition had been originally founded, was subverted. But ideas of uncontrolable dominion were by this time deeply impressed on the Austrian race; and Philip III. with exhausted resources, and a feeble mind, faintly pursued the same ambitious plan that had been formed or adopted by his predecessors on the Spanish throne, not more formidable for their extensive revenues, than for the vigilance, vigor, and perseverance of their nature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Reign of Philip the Second, King of Spain, Vol. 2 of 3 It was not till the close of the following month that it was formally disclosed to her by some of the great lords.1 If it was known to her before, Margaret must have thought it prudent to affect ignorance till some overt action on the part of the league called for her notice. It became then a question with the members of the league what was next to be done. It was finally resolved to present a petition in the name of the whole body to the regent, a measure which, as already intimated, received the assent, if not the approbation, of the prince of Orange. The paper was prepared, as it would seem, in Williams own house at Brussels, by his brother Louis, and was submitted, we are told, to the revision of the prince, who thus had it in his power to mitigate, in more than one instance, the vehemence, or rather violence, of the expressions. To give greater effect to the petition, it was determined that a large deputation from the league should accompany its presentation to the regent. Notice was given to four hundred of the confederates to assemble at the beginning of April. They were to come well mounted and armed, prepared at once to proceed to Brussels.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reign of Philip the Third, King of Spain, Vol. 1 The first four books of this volume, which contain the progress of the war in the Netherlands, the establishment of the truce with the Dutch, and the expulsion of the Morefcoes from Spain, are printed literally from the manuscript of Dr. Watson: nor has the smallest alteration been made, either in the arrangement of his matter, or in his style. It is, however, but justice to the memory of that author, as well as to the public, to acknowledge, that, in the two last, he had not the least participation. These were written by the editor of Dr. Watson's manuscript, at the desire of the guardians of his children. This was deemed an attention due to the curiosity of the reader; a curiosity which, in the present important era, may be supposed to be somewhat enlivened by the great events which have lately happened in the world. It is evident that Dr. Watson has exerted in this work all that care to discover the truth, which distinguishes his History of Philip II. He has consulted the most approved writers on this subject: and by that respectable friend to literature, the Earl of Hardwicke, he was favored with manuscripts of equal authority and importance.
