PRESCOTT The Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella William Hickling Prescott was born at Salem, Massachusetts, on May 4, 1796. His first great historical work, "The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella," published in 1838, was compiled under circumstances of extraordinary difficulty. During most of the time of its composition the author was deprived of sight, and was dependent on having all documents read to him. Before it was completed he recovered the use of his eyes, and was able to correct and verify. Nevertheless, the changes required were few. The "Conquest of Mexico" and "Conquest of Peru" (see ante) followed at intervals of five and four years, and ten years later the uncompleted "Philip II." He died in New York on January 28, 1859. The subjects of this work, Ferdinand and Isabella, were the monarchs who united the Spanish kingdoms into one nation, ended the Moorish dominion in Europe, and annexed the New World to Spain, which during the ensuing century threatened to dominate the states of Christendom.

This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 1075 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic" in 3 volumes is one of the best-known works by the American historian William Hickling Prescott. Isabella I (1451-1504) was Queen of Castile from 1474 and Queen consort of Aragon from 1479, reigning over a dynastically unified Spain jointly with her husband Ferdinand II (1452-1516). After a struggle to claim her right to the throne, she reorganized the governmental system, brought the crime rate to the lowest it had been in years, and unburdened the kingdom of the enormous debt her brother had left behind. Isabella's marriage to Ferdinand in 1469 created the basis of the de facto unification of Spain. Isabella and Ferdinand are known for completing the Reconquista, ordering conversion or exile to their Jewish and Muslim subjects, and for supporting and financing Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage that led to the opening of the New World and to the establishment of Spain as a major power in Europe and much of the world for more than a century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic, of Spain In the plan of the work, I have not limited myself to a strict chronological narrative of passing events; but have occasionally paused, at the expense, perhaps, of some interest in the story, to seek such collateral information as might bring these events into a clearer vlew. I have devoted a liberal portion of the work to the literary progress of the nation, conceiving this quite as essential a part of its history as civil and military details. I have occasionally introduced, at the close of the chapters, a critical notice of the authorities used, that the reader may form some estimate of their comparative value and credibility. Finally, I have endeavoured to present him with such an account of the state of affairs, both before the accession and at the demise of the Catholic sovereigns, as might afford him the best points of view for surveying the entire results of their reign.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Reign, Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic, Vol. 1 "The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic" was the first work to come from the pen of William Hickling Prescott. It was the result of more than ten years of labor. Conceived in January, 1826, it was published in the winter of 1837-38, when the author was almost forty-two years old. When Mr. Prescott, handicapped by his semi-blindness, determined upon a life of literary occupation, he laid out a course of study that was remarkably comprehensive in its character. What was yet more remarkable, he adhered, in all its essential particulars, to the course marked out. It began with the elements of composition, and was designed both to perfect his literary style and to make him thoroughly familiar with the history of North America. In order to determine the style and characteristics of each, he read a part at least of the works of almost all the principal English writers. He also devoted an hour each day to the study of the principal Latin authors, like Cicero, Livy, and Tacitus, in order to master their style and method. The English course having been completed, he turned next to the study of French, and then of Italian literature. German he had also planned to master, but the state of his eyes prevented him from making the attempt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
