This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of England, Vol. 2 But the Englishman did it for all that, and did it - not SO madly but so wisely, that he decoyed the great army into the narrow ill-paved lanes and bye-ways of Lincoln, where its horse-soldiers could not ride in any strong body; and there he made such havoc with them, that the whole force surrendered themselves prisoners, except the Count who said that he would never yield to any English traitor alive, and accordingly got killed. The end of this victory, which the English called, for a joke, the Fair of Lincoln, was the usual one in those times - the common men were slain without any mercy.

Download or read book The History of England Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Thomas Keightley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 570 pages. 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.
