Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Illustrated History of England I have not hesitated to make Dr. Lingard my principal guide In about a third of the present volume; as in the history anterior to the House of Tudor I did not deem it always necessary to write immediately from the original authorities, though I have frequently consulted them. From the commencement Of the period alluded to, the inquirer after truth must draw from the original sources; for all the modern streams are turbid with re ligious and political prejudices.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Illustrated History of England, Vol. 4 of 4 The news of the surrender of Yorktown reached England on November 25th, 1781, only two days before the meeting of Parliament. The King showed no signs of surrender, but the Opposition were in great spirits. Disasters in the West Indies continued at the close of the year and the beginning of the next. When Parliament resumed after Christmas resolutions condemning the Ministry were rejected by only small minorities. Indeed, an address moved by General Conway begging the King to put a stop to the American War was lost only by a single vote. At last on March 2otb, when there was an address upon the paper begging for North's dismissal he resigned. It is said that members, anticipating a long debate, had ordered their carriages late in the evening, and that Lord North's was the only one in waiting. As he stepped into it in the midst of a heavy shower of rain, he said to his disappointed antagonists, You see, gentlemen, the advantage of being in the secret.

In noticing this circumstance, we deem it useful once more to draw the attention of our readers to a few of the great points of historic fact, which we alone, Of all our historians, have drawn forth and established.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Period to the Reign of Edward the Fourth HE preceding edition of this History has been most carefully corrected and revised, and the Publishers are thankful that the present one has not failed of a success more than equal to that which had attended its predecessor. The expecta tion which led them originally to publish and now to issue this revised edition of a history of this great country so as to meet the want of the great masses which compose so large a portion of it, has not been disappointed. It is almost as vain to write the praises of history as it is unnecessary to write its apology. Whatever doubts may be entertained as to the merits of the classics as a means of education, history stands above all suspicion, and is pre-eminent not only as a means, but even as an end of knowledge. We may regard history as in some sort the story of ourselves under circumstances different from those in which it finds us; which circumstances, however, time often repeats with remarkable similitude of detail. It is, indeed, more than this; it is the narrative of national as well as of individual life, and - in a higher aspect still - it is the narrative of the great human race. But even if we look on it only as a vast collection of biographies, we can hardly exaggerate the importance of its voice to us. It teaches its votary something of himself and of his kind which the profoundest philosopher without it could never know. If we except Nature and Revelation, what else is there beyond the domain of history? Indeed, it is the complement of these, and with these fills up all experience and all thought. But if this be true of universal history, it is true in a sense more confined and yet more intense of the history of our own country. The exceeding interest of this latter will let none of us escape. It is our text-book in childhood, but we have not grasped its Wisdom or exhausted its pleasure in age. We delight in it, not merely because it tells of our own fathers and our own homes, but because it, more than any other, presents the broad surface of the pe0ple; because it is concerned, not only with kings, and statesmen, and warriors, but with the toilers at the plough, and at the counter, and at the desk - with the great middle class, whose growth in extent and power forms so large a portion of its page; because it exhibits a unity of design and a continuity of action which is not so patent, even if it exists, elsewhere; because it leads by marked gradations through the practical logic of great principles to that national product which we now enjoy with so much pride and satisfaction; because it is the voice of a people whose language is more wide-spread and more potent in the ears of friends and foes than that of any tongue on earth, and is enriched with science and with song to which few others can aspire.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Illustrated History of England, Vol. 2 of 4 Anne soon discovered that the death of Wolsey was not, after all, of much benefit to her. The coalition which had destroyed him found out that she was more arrogant than her opponent. Katherine seized the opportunity to have a serious conversation with Henry. The King, however, told her that he had determined to marry Anne, Whatever the Pope might say. This interview was on Christmas eve, 1530, and in the beginning of 1531 Henry began to fear that the Pope would compel him to get rid of Anne, under pain of excommunication. Anne was doing everything in her power to persuade the King to marry her; but her prospects seemed very uncertain. Just at this time Anne met with a new ally. Thomas Cromwell, the malle-as monaclzorum (the hammer of the was the son of a wealthy citizen, and had received a tolerable education in his youth.

To the Death of George II The conclusion of this marvellous drama of nations brings us into the very midst of our own times, and will close our next volume. It is obvious that as we come nearer to our own times, each successive year will require more ample space in our pages Instead of the scanty records upon which we have hitherto had to rely, we are able to avail ourselves henceforth of the fullest and most authentic accounts of every occurrence we have to describe. Meantime, the area of our history is gradually widening. England, no longer isolated and self-contained, is playing a foremost part, and sustaining important interests in each quarter of the globe; by wars, by treaties, by commerce, mixing with and taking part in the transactions of every existing nation. Thus, in order to give a faithful idea of the history of this country, it will be necessary to give a sketch of nearly all contemporaneous events. The history of England is henceforth the history of the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, Vol. 5: Continued to the End of 1873; From the Accession of George III. To the French Revolution (July, 1792) We shall see in the course of this volume how the evil poison of the French Revolution extended even to our own country, in which at one time it threatened to bear dangerous fruit, had it not been happily arrested in time by the wisdom and vigilance of our rulers. Still, this period was to our country one of extreme peril and unfortunate consequences. While the nations of the European Continent had been worshipping but a marred and mutilated image of Liberty and Free Thought, a truer idea of these great principles had been growing in the breasts of our colonists on the other side of the Atlantic. It will be seen in these pages through what a series of errors, well-intentioned though they might have been, these possessions, which we had prized so highly, were alienated from the British Crown, and having shaken off the dominion of their mother country by a series of splendid successes in the field, and feeling themselves strong enough to walk alone, began their glorious career as the great republic of the United States of North America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, Vol. 7: New and Revised Edition, Continued to the End of 1873; From the Accession of George IV to the Irish Famine, 1847 The events of these twenty-seven years, though they are of course fresh in the memory of the older men amongst us, yet seem to us to require a clear and precise narrative, even more than those of two or three hundred years ago. The information respectingthem, it is true, has been gathered into a few continuous historical records, but these cannot be easily consulted. It lies scattered also through formidable files of newspapers, musty pamphlets, biographies, and diaries. Further, many of the events are of a character which rendered it impossible to recount them fairly at the time when they took place, or even for many years afterwards. Party prejudice on one side or the other warped the judgment and falsified the records. For instance, what contemporary could have written a fair account of the Divorce of Queen Caroline, or of the Reform Bill? It has been our business to consult every source of information within our reach, and to give a narrative which will, we hope, be found as impartial as every historical narrative ought to be. In recounting great struggles like that for the Repeal of the Corn Laws, we have tried to realise the position of each of the contending parties, and to give each of them full credit for sincerity and truth. Above all, we have striven, in going over these old battle-fields of class against class, to say not one word that might serve to re-kindle the old animosities, or give new life to scandals that are now happily passing into oblivion. The next Volume we shall commence with an account of the Year of Revolutions, lsls - paiu ticularly recording the Chartist demonstration in this country. We shall go carefully over the History of Italy during that stormy period of her annals which ended with the fatal day of N ovara, to serve as a preface to the detailed narrative we purpose giving of the French Campaign in Lombardy in 1859, and the brilliant achievements of Garibaldi in Naples and Sicily in the following year. The Crimean \var will receive full attention at our hands we shall recount the negotiations that preceded it, and endeavour, as far as the nature of the case permits, to relate the events connected with it in the same spirit of dispassionate inquiry after the truth as dictated our researches on the subjects alluded to above.
