Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Second Series of Vicissitudes of Families - The jest at which fools laugh the loudest, The downfall of our old nobility - Which may forerun the ruin of a kingdom. I've seen an idiot clap his hands and shout To see a tower like yon stop to its base In headlong ruin; while the wise look'd round, And fearful sought a distant stance to watch What fragment of the fabric next should follow; For when the turrets fall, the walls are tottering. Walter Scott. The decadence of noble and wealthy families is a fact of too frequent occurrence to be now a subject of doubt or dispute, but the cause of such decadence, though equally obvious, seems to have puzzled a host of enquirers: the whole matter is referable to a few general agents. Historically considered, the decay and extinction of great Houses may be mainly attributed to the Civil Wars, from Hastings to Culloden, and to the law of attainder, which, in England more than in any other country of Europe, undermined and overthrew the landed Aristocracy. So fatal, indeed, was the operation of that law, that, of the twenty-five Barons who were appointed to enforce the observance of Magna Charta, there is not now in the House of Peers a single male descendant!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vicissitudes of Families, Vol. 1 This new and compact edition of the Vicissitudes of Families has been very carefully revised, re-modelled, and in many pa1 ts re - written. Originally the work appeared In three distinct series, published at different periods, and was not devoted exclusively to one matter, The Vicissitudes of Essays on'other subjects were introduced, thus somewhat marring the unity Of the whole plan. My present purpose is, by the omission of a few irrelevant chapters, and by the addition of new stories Iof appropriate interest, to produce a substantive and complete record of the changeful fortunes of great houses, a work, in fact, illustrative of that portion so eventful, and yet so little known, of domestic history. My topic is the greatness that has gone by, passing either rapidly, like the lion struck down in his pride, or slowly, like the oak for ages withering away. In the performance of my task, I have left no available source of information unexplored. I have, too, and I trust successfully, endeavoured to avoid the introduction of a single narrative, or the expression of a single word.
