Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Gustavus Adolphus Among the persons whose genius, heroism, and force of character influenced events, and won commanding fame, in the seventeenth century, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden is justly regarded of the first. The War of Thirty Years, a long and terrible struggle between Catholicism and Protestantism, largely influenced by the rivalry and bitter hostility between France and the House of Austria, called out the strong qualities of the Swedish king. The influence of his reign on his own country, and of his career in Germany on the prospects of Protestantism in continental Europe, will always constitute an interesting theme for historical students and readers. A military man of remarkable powers, his high moral qualities and lofty purposes forbid his standing in the category of the Alexanders, the Marlboroughs, and Napoleons. As fascinating as romance, thrilling with all that is exciting and terrible in war, his life is perused with interest and profit by those who wish to understand some of the most momentous events which have influenced the history of the modem world. The author has read and carefully considered whatever might throw light on his character and career. To this end he has studied the best Swedish, German, French, and English writers on the subject, and has improved suggestive conversations with Swedish scholars and statesmen; and this volume is the result. He realizes its imperfection and inadequacy as a full statement of the genius and work of the remarkable personage it attempts to represent About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Yet the dye was cast, that I should disturb the tranquillity of readers by some means or other, and enter their closets unsought-for with my literary present: That I do so is certain; but 'tis with respect and diffidence, and the little delineation I make them a tender of, carries this flight recommendation with it, that it is an original sketch, and not an imitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Life of Gustavus Adolphus II: The Hero-General of the Reformation In giving this sketch of the life of Gustavus Adolphus, no attempt has been made to present a complete life of the great king. It is a history difficult for young people to understand, and for that reason only the leading events of a most eventful life have been presented. It was first written for a lecture and entertainment, after the manner of my other entertainments on Church epochs, to be illustrated by stereopticon views, with three dramatic interludes - the first representing the joy of the Swedish people on Gustavus coming to the throne; the second showing Gustavus taking leave of his Parliament and friends as he is about to embark on the Thirty Years' War; the third, an act called "The Women who Loved Him." The evening was to open and close with church processionals in the native peasant costumes of Sweden and other Protestant countries of Europe. It has been deemed best to present the story in book form, which will differ somewhat from the original lecture and dramatic representations, for the reason that pictures do away with the necessity for many words. With the earnest prayer that this history may stir other heroic souls to stand for God in life's difficult places this sketch is submitted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gustavus Adolphus: And the Struggle of Protestantism for Existence The contemporary literature Of the Thirty Years' War was very voluminous and is still very undi gested. Every variety Of dates, figures, and num bers, every variety Of judgment upon the principal characters engaged, makes a little task like mine extremely bewildering. NO great history of the period as a whole has as yet been written. Pro fessor Anton Gindely's larger work treats, so far as it has at present gone, only Of the very early years Of the struggle. He has indeed published a Smaller school-book on the whole subject, which has been translated into English, but this is avow edly only tentative, and he confesses that he has not explored the archives Of Stockholm. But in those archives, if anywhere, it is probable that the true Gustavus Adolphus is to be found. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gustavus Adolphus in Germany, From the German, Vol. 2 It was Sunday afternoon toward the end of January in the year 1630. The stillness of winter reigned on the parks and streets of Stockholm; the fast-falling snowflakes veiled the outlook into the distance and brought a premature twilight, which was felt even in the apartments of the castle, although it occupied an elevated position. In muffled strokes the bells announced four o'clock, here and there in the village houses faint lights already began to glimmer. In the forepart of the castle with its beautiful view of the many cliffs and bays, far out to the breakers of the Baltic sea, we find the boudoir of the queen. Marie Eleanor was born a princess of Brandenburg, and for ten years had been the wife of Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden. Neither convenience nor politics, but genuine love had formed this union, and preserved it pure, sincere and holy, - a good model for the people of all ranks and classes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lion of the North: A Tale of the Times of Gustavus Adolphus and the Wars of Religion We are, at least many of us are, lamentably ignorant of the leading events of even the most important epochs of Continental history, although, as many of these events have exercised a marked influence upon the existing state of affairs in Europe, a knowledge of them is far more useful, and, it may be said, far more interesting than that of the comparatively petty affairs of Athens, Sparta, Corinth, and Thebes. Prominent among such epochs is the Thirty Years' War, which arose from the determination of the Emperor of Austria to crush Pro testantism throughout Germany. Since the invasion of the Huns no struggle which has taken place in Europe has approached this in the obstinacy of the fighting and the terrible sufferings which the war inflicted upon the people at large. During these thirty years the population of Germany decreased by nearly a third, and in some of the states half the towns and two-thirds of the villages absolutely disappeared.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gustavus Adolphus, an Historical Poem and Romance of the Thirty Years War The following pages owe their inspiration to hero-worship - to a sincere and even enthusiastic admiration for the gallant King of Sweden, whose glorious achievements they record, and whose noble character and generous sentiments they seek to illustrate. The Author, fully sensible of the inadequacy of his powers to do justice to the theme, still feels that no worthier subject could fill the pages of poet or historian. Among modern heroes the great Gustavus Adolphus stands forth, conspicuous no less for his moral excellence than for his soldierly qualities, his dauntless courage, stubborn perseverance, fertility of resource, and consummate skill. His life and actions are well known, and will not soon be forgotten either by Protestants or Catholics. Not only in works devoted to his personal biography, but also in those treating of the Thirty Years' War, he has received that abundant eulogy he so well merited. The greatest Genius of his age, his failings were more venial, his errors fewer and slighter, than those usually incidental to men of heroic mould; neither contemporary jealousy nor envious time, which has sapped so many reputations, has cast a doubt on the purity of his motives or the honesty of his purposes.
