The centuries of administrative organization which stretch from Ecgberht to Edward the First, the age of full national development which extends from Edward's day to our own, only become intelligible to us when we have fully grasped this age of national formation. I cannot but feel, therefore, that it is no slight misfortune that such a period should remain comparatively unknown, and that its struggles, which were in reality the birth-throes of our national life, should be still to most English men, as they were to Milton, mere battles of kites and of crows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of England The present work is only a partial realization of an old-standing project of mine, for it is now some ten or twelve years since I made collections for, and actually began a history of England up to the Norman Conquest. This work, however, was interrupted by the preparation of my Short History and has since been further delayed by my revision and expansion of that book; and now that my hands are free the state of my health forbids my carrying out this earlier plan in its full extent. I have thought it better, therefore, to gather up and complete what I could of the history of the earlier times up to the union of England under Ecgberht, and this the more because these years form a distinct period in our national history whose interest and importance has I think still to be fully recognized.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Earliest Times to the Death of George II These had, it seems, been night and day wrestling with the Lord in prayer, as they termed it; and they at last fancied that they had Obtained the superiority. Revelations they said were made them, that the heretical army, together with Agag the general, would he delivered into their hands. Upon the assurances of these visions, they obliged their general, in spite Of all his re monstrances, to descend into the plain, and give the English battle. The English had also their visions and their assurances. Crom well, in his turn, had been wrestling with the Lord, and had come off with success. When he was told that the Scots were coming down to engage, he assured his soldiers that the Lord had delivered the enemy into his hands; and he ordered his army to sing psalms, as if already possessed of a certain victory. The Scots, though double the number ofthe English, were soon put to flight, and pursued with great slaughter, while Cromwell, it is said, did not lose above forty men in all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Continuation of the History of England, Vol. 2 He had, in his answer to their former address, assured them of his constant regard to the rights and prosperity of the nation: he had explained the exhausted state of the Dutch; cx-patiated upon the zeal of that republic for the interests of Britain, as well as the maintenance of the protestant religion; and expressed his hope that the English parliament would not only repay the sums they had expended in his expedition, but likewise fur ther support them to the utmost of their ability against the common enemies of their liberties and religion. He had observed that a considerable army and fleet would be necessary for the reduction of Ireland and the pro tection of Britain, and he desired they would settle the revenue in such a manner that it might be collected without difficulty and dispute. The sum total of the money expended by the states - general in William's expedition amounted to seven millions of guilders, and the commons granted six hundred thousand pounds for the discharge of this debt, incurred for the preservation of their rights and religion. They voted funds for rais ing and maintaining an army of two-and-twenty thou sand men, as well as for equipping a numerous fleet but they provided for no more than half a year's sub sistence of the tr00ps, heping the reduction of Ireland might be finished in that term; and this instance of frugality the king considered as a mark of their difii dence of his administration. The whigs were resolved to supply him gradually, that he might be the more dependent upon their zeal and attachment; but he was not at all pleased with their precaution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 1 of 2 The animal nature of man has, tmtil within a comparatively re cent period, held the chief sway in all political relations, and the settlement of political disputes. By the animal nature is here simply meant the impulses which lead to the love of acquisition and the glory of the battle-field, - both as purely animal impulses as any that mark the beasts that perish; both happily, now, though only very recently, reduced, in all most civilized comma nitiea under subjection to the moral and intellectual nature of man. Hence, in such political histories, battles and their details are too ti'equent. Nations, until a very recent period, have ia variably had recourse, in the settlement of all disputes, to the barbarous form of wager of battle, to decide the right, although, by the express laws of almost every nation in Europe, wag-sr of battle between individuals has been long abolished. It is extra ordinary that so barbarous and absurd a custom should have been thus so inconsistently persevered in, in the one case, while it has been abolished in the Other. The public mind in England is, however, at the present time, in general, as much opposed to the appeal to this antiquated ordeal in the one case as the other; and it is to be hoped that the page of the future historian will abound chie y in details of the moral and intellectual history of that as well as other nations; and that the history of society, of science, and of literature, will take high precedence of the his tory of politics. Meantime, the history of the politics of every nation must be studied by 'all who would observe the advance of nations, or truly understand their actual condition. More especially is that study important in respect of those nations where, as in England, the struggle between general independence and assumed individual prerogative, has been long continued and eventful, though crowned at last with noble and glorious success.

Download or read book The Making of Modern England Classic Reprint written by Gilbert Slater and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of Modern England MY aim in this book is to set out in language as simple and clear as I can command those facts with regard to the recent history of our country which it is most important for English men and women to know. History may be studied, like any other science, under the influence of a noble curiosity, with no end beyond the attainment of clearer knowledge of the past; but such study is either recreation for hours of leisure, or the task of the specialist historian. For the citizen, historical study with the ulterior object of gaining light in the future and guidance in the present, is an imperative duty; and my desire is to help the growing numbers who feel this. For this reason I have not hesitated in places to express my own opinions on certain controverted questions. I do not entertain either the hope or the wish that any reader should adopt the opinions I express without due examination, though in some cases, I may, for the sake of clearness and brevity, have put them too dogmatically. The claim I make is that the raising of party conflict round any question of economics or politics must not be allowed to exclude that question from the field of scientific research; but that, on the other hand, the fiercer the conflict, the more necessary it is for the ordinary citizen to endeavour to bring to his judgment of the issue the same freedom from bias and loyalty to truth with which the historian studies the bases of the social order of Athens, or the wars of the Egyptian kings.
