Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Life of Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, Sirnamed the Great, Vol. 1 For these reasons I threw my materials aside; and after such a frankness and generosity of confession, it is natural to conclude that I shall procure my pardon from the public on easy terms. Yet the dye was cast, that I should disturb the tranquillity of readers by some means or other, and enter their closets unsought-for with my literary present: That I do so is certain; but 'tis with respect and diffidence, and the little delineation I make them a tender of, carries this flight recommendation with it, that it is an original sketch, and not an imitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Gustavus Adolphus: Surnamed the Great, King of Sweden The wider and more lasting extension of good. Amidst such recorded events, the celebrated War of Thirty Years in Germany is invested with the highest degree of interest-not only from the obstinacy of the struggle, but as exhibiting in its simplest and most intelligible form the conflict of principles which have since been happily so far modified in most civilised countries by a more general recognition of the prin ciples of equity, as often to be with difficulty dis coverable in their still continued opposition. Considering the reputation obtained by the most prominent Character in this momentous contest at the time of his decease, it is somewhat singular that more than a century was suffered to pass away after that event before any biographer appeared willing to undertake the task of recording the principal occur reaces of his life in any of the more popular languages of Europe. The splendid abilities of Frederick of Prussia, displayed during the sanguinary and pro tracted contest which arose from the question of the Pragmatic Sanction, and in the early part of the Seven Years' War, seem first to have recalled the general attention to the exploits of Gustavus Adolph us; while the circumstance of the same countries becoming the theatre of hostilities, which had formerly been tra versed by the armies of the Empire, Saxony and Sweden in the Thirty Years' War, naturally tended to endue with fresh interest a series of long-past events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Life of Gustavus Adolphus II: The Hero-General of the Reformation In giving this sketch of the life of Gustavus Adolphus, no attempt has been made to present a complete life of the great king. It is a history difficult for young people to understand, and for that reason only the leading events of a most eventful life have been presented. It was first written for a lecture and entertainment, after the manner of my other entertainments on Church epochs, to be illustrated by stereopticon views, with three dramatic interludes - the first representing the joy of the Swedish people on Gustavus coming to the throne; the second showing Gustavus taking leave of his Parliament and friends as he is about to embark on the Thirty Years' War; the third, an act called "The Women who Loved Him." The evening was to open and close with church processionals in the native peasant costumes of Sweden and other Protestant countries of Europe. It has been deemed best to present the story in book form, which will differ somewhat from the original lecture and dramatic representations, for the reason that pictures do away with the necessity for many words. With the earnest prayer that this history may stir other heroic souls to stand for God in life's difficult places this sketch is submitted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gustavus Adolphus: And the Struggle of Protestantism for Existence The following account of the life of King Gustavus Adolphus, the national hero of Sweden, demands little preface. It makes no pretensions to be based upon original research, and I cannot claim have read even all the modern authorities on the subject. My knowledge of the Swedish language is by no means independent of the assistance of a dictionary, nor can I hope to have escaped that tendency to partiality for which the natural fascination of such a subject is the only excuse. The work was undertaken, and the material partly gathered, before I was aware that it was to have the honour of forming one of a series of biographies. The difficulty of accommodating its proportions to that object has not been inconsiderable. I am on the one hand debarred from giving the references which in many places I should have desired to give, and on the other hand obliged to include accounts of many things of which I had made no special study. The military history of the Thirty Years' War is in itself a case in point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Gustavus Adolphus Interest. These were repeated until they were fully engraved in the memory of those who heard them, and handed down from one generation to another. Later this oral poetry was put in writing, and constituted the sagas. The most important of these were the productions of Ice landers, who made considerable progress in literature in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The New Edda is a Scandinavian work drawn from these sagas by Snorre Sturleson, who was a judge in Iceland from 1215 to 1222. This book contains an account of the mythology, poetry, and philosophy of the Scandinavian people, and gives valu able information on their history. These recitals of the sagas are too much intermixed with mythology and fiction to furnish very much positive data for authentic history, so far, at least, as Sweden is concerned. It would be for eign to the historic sketch we are now attempting, to bring forward this class of testimony. As tending to show the spirit, resolution, vigor, and character of the Northmen, these sagas are referred to as of value, and, were we not here making but a meagre outline, would be considered at length. It is correct to say, that the reliable history of Sweden of chief importance begins after the introduction of Christianity into the country in the reign of King Olaf, which Was from 993 to 1024. Of the three Scandinavian countries, Sweden became known to the intelligent world of Europe at a later period than the other two. Denmark was farther south, and composed of islands favorably situ ated, and that country and Norway were more adjacent to the Atlantic, which made them more accessible to the nations of the South; while Sweden, which had its water domain chiefly on the Baltic, became known to the more advanced people of Europe at a later date than Denmark and Norway, whose theatre of activity was more on the western seas. The mythology and religion of the Swedes show them, as well as the Danes and Norwegians, to have been a vigorous, warlike people, among whom personal.

This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lion of the North: A Tale of the Times of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars of Religion We are, at least many of us are, lamentably ignorant of the leading events of even the most important epochs of Continental history, although, as many of these events have exercised a marked influence upon the existing state of affairs in Europe, a knowledge of them is far more useful, and, it may be said, far more interesting than that of the comparatively petty affairs of Athens, Sparta, Corinth, and Thebes. Prominent among such epochs is the Thirty Years' War, which arose from the determination of the Emperor of Austria to crush Pro testantism throughout Germany. Since the invasion of the Huns no struggle which has taken place in Europe has approached this in the obstinacy of the fighting and the terrible sufferings which the war inflicted upon the people at large. During these thirty years the population of Germany decreased by nearly a third, and in some of the states half the towns and two-thirds of the villages absolutely disappeared.
