Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of Elizabeth, Vol. 4 To preserve some kind of clearness in a narrative where the threads are so many and so confused, I have set apart the history of Ireland for separate treatment, although the condition of that country affected materially the action of Elizabeth's government, and prevented the queen from assuming the bolder position which circumstances so many times appeared to thrust upon her. What the Low Countries were to Spain Ireland was to England, a dependent province occupied by a population alien in blood, in creed, and in temperament; the vulnerable point where foreign princes were sure of welcome who offered to assist the people in shaking off their oppressors. Both in London and Madrid there was a tacit understanding that if Elizabeth became the protectress of the revolted provinces, Philip would send an army to Waterford or Kinsale, and the feeling of English statesmen was represented by a memorandum of Cecil's that "it was folly to lose a kingdom in possession" for the grandest of uncertainties elsewhere. Cecil indeed, as well as every other minister who had attempted so far to deal with the Irish difficulty, had found the task too hard for him. The "kingdom" was one which had yielded no fruit to its owners except expense and perplexity; and the qualities in the people from which alone improvement could be expected were terribly slow in appearing. Nevertheless, there were times and places where happier symptoms prevented absolute despair. As with the great central morasses the bog in some capricious humour for a while recedes, and the margin dries and meadow grass takes the place of the rushes and the peat, so with the Irish people a disposition to industry displaced sometimes for brief intervals the usual appetite for disorder, and the administration would flatter itself that the new era was commencing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of Elizabeth, Vol. 2 Had Elizabeth complied with this suggestion she would have committed herself to an admission that a question existed, and that the Darnley marriage was not wholly intolerable. She had no intention of admitting anything of the kind. She replied with requiring Lennox and Darnley on their allegiance to return im mediately to England; and the Queen of Scots' letter she answered only with a request that they might be sent home without delay.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of Elizabeth: By W. Llewellyn In a review of the state of England, written in the year 1585, Lord Burghley describes the Queen as for her own person inwardly loved by all that loved God, and professed true religion;' and the realm 'in outward shew by order of Justice, obedient, and disposed to peace.' The people, he said, 'were generally rich and able to endure all reasonable charges for the national defence;' and a 'great multitude, gentlemen, merchants, and vulgar people, especially in good towns where they were taught by discreet preachers, were very zealous towards God, and earnestly bent to all service for her Majesty's safety.' Protestantism, on the Continent, had brought with it war and misery. In England, the affinity between the more genuine creed and material prosperity, had opportunity to show itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of Elizabeth, Vol. 3 Twice already, during the progress of the Reformation, the advance of the new opinions had been checked by reaction. The Act of Supremacy and the dissolution of the monasteries had been followed by the fall of Cromwell, the Six Articles, and the burning of Barnes and Lambert. The anarchy, social and spiritual, which had broken loose under Edward VI., was brought to an end by the hard and heavy hand of Mary and Pole. From the moment that Elizabeth declared against the pope it was inevitable that, sooner or later, the Catholics would make a third effort to recover their ascendancy. In number they still exceeded the Reformers, although in energy and enthusiasm the Reformers had a corresponding advantage. The strength of the two parties, to outward appearance, was nearly equal, and neither one nor the other had become as yet accustomed to the practical working of the formulas of the establishment, where each might hold their own opinions under the show of uniformity. The statesman of the nineteenth century, with the conditions before him which presented themselves to the council of Elizabeth, - would have left religion to the individual conscience would have insisted only on general submission to the laws, and within that limit would have permitted Catholic and Protestant the free use of their own chapels and services. But this solution of the problem has been made possible only by a gradual change of sentiment. Before a government can act on principles of toleration, the people to be governed must have become themselves at least outwardly tolerant. The attempt was made in France without this necessary preparation, and the result was universal disorder, interminable outbursts, and civil war, and when circumstances were specially unfavourable, those monstrous massacres, which have made the reigns of Catherine de Medici and her sons so infamous in history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Her Majesty's Tower, Vol. 4 IN the south-west angle of the wall, a stack oi quaint old Tudor buildings, marked by a fringe of lime-trees, stands the Lieutenant's house, in strict official language, Government house. Above the roof grows a massive tower, much older than the pile itself; and from this tower springs a belfry, whence it takes that name. This Belfry has no separate door. The house has a ground floor, occupied by guards and servants, opening on the Green a second floor opens on the outer wall and river; while a third floor, later perhaps in style, looks over these above the Pool, the Bridge, and the Kentish shore. The rooms are small, the ceilings low. A gallery runs along the house; a covered way, connecting Prisoners' Walk with vol. Iv.
