Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Own Times, Vol. 1: A Continuous History of the Twentieth Century History is the record of human experience. It is the one great text-book. The only way to understand the present is to know the past; and to us of to-day, who are face to face with immediate prob lems, the history of the immediate past is more important in its de tails than the events of centuries that have long been mustv. We may read in the Older generations the great tendencies that lead straight to the center of present-day energies. Given those tendencies, our chief concern is with their results to-day. And as we Observe those results we gain some inkling of what lies ahead. Some historians have argued that the long perspective of a hundred years is essential to accuracy in the selective judgment of events; that he who writes in 1900 should lag behind the period at least as far as the Battle of Waterloo; that it is impossible for him to write judicially the history of the Victorian era in England, the American Civil War, or the foundation of the new German Empire. The point is well taken in one regard, namely, that the final word can never be said of the past as long as there continues to be a present and a pos sible future. The book of history is never finished; and we must continue to revise Old estimates to make them consistent with the latest entries. Two hundred years from now the American Civil War may be seen to have a meaning which at present we cannot suspect. Yet the fact that our View of that conflict is bounded by a horizon which must expand as the decades go by is no reason why the history of the war should not be written; nor is it good ground for refusing to make interpretation of the events recorded. We do well to studv recent history for what it means to us, rather than to ignore it because it may mean something different to our great-grandchildren.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Our Own Times, Vol. 1: From the Accession of Queen Victoria to the General Election of 1880 The first and second volumes of 'A History of Our Own Times' appeared in 1878. It had occurred to the author that one of the most difficult tasks for a young student just then was to get hold of the history of our own times. If anybody wanted to learn something of the facts concerning the reign of Elizabeth, or the reign of Anne, or the reign of George the Third, or the years of the great Reform Bill, there were standard books on every subject, which could be got at in every public library, and which indeed stood on the shelves of most men's private libraries; but, to make oneself acquainted with what had happened in the reign of Queen Victoria, there were only the interminable files of newspapers to consult, except, of course, for some special works dealing with particular chapters of history, such as the Crimean War or the Indian Mutiny.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Our Own Times, From the Accession of Queen Victoria to the General Election of 1880, Vol. 3 of 5 Of Lewis ran the risk of being overrated quite as much as it had been undervalued before. In him, men said, was seen the coming prime minister of England. Time, as it will be seen afterwards, did not allow Sir George Lewis any chance of making good this prediction. He was undoubtedly a man of rare ability and refined intellect; an example very uncommon in England of the thinker, the scholar, and the statesman in one. His speeches were an intellectual treat to all with whom matter counted for more than manner. One who had watched parliamentary life from without and within for many years, said he had never had his deliberate Opinion changed by a speech in the House of Commons but twice, and each time it was an argument from Sir George Lewis that accomplished the conversion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Our Own Times, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Diamond Jubilee 1897 to the Accession of Edward VII These two concluding volumes of A History of Our Own Times have for their object in the first instance to give a clear and comprehensive account of all the events of public importance occurring in or to the British Empire during the years between Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and the Accession of King Edward the Seventh. But, besides this obvious object, the volumes include a retrospect of the important changes which the reign of Queen Victoria saw in the public life, the literature, art, and science - more especially the applied science - of that period, the changes which have come about in the habits and the manners of the time; and also the leading characteristics of the men and women who have grown into celebrity during these later years. The reader will thus, it is hoped, be enabled all the better to appreciate the place which these more recent years are destined to hold in the world's history, and to estimate the progress made in political, artistic, scientific, and social life during the whole of that long period which passed between the coronation of Queen Victoria and the coronation of King Edward the Seventh. The author's intention and endeavor are to make these two closing volumes, like those which went before them, not merely a record of events and dates, but a survey of life and of social progress.
