Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Feudal Regime Outside of the reserve, from which the landlord drew profit directly by means of the corvées, the domain was cut up into tenures (that is, the holdings), divided here into two classes: the larger ones, the free holdings, to judge by their name, were occupied at first by free tenants; the smaller, the servile holdings, by slaves of the landlord. But this division did not last, for in the very register which makes it known to us we see that it had ceased to be observed; we find serfs on free holdings and free tenants on servile holdings. An inventory of the estates of Charlemagne, dating from 810, shows an altogether similar régime established on island of a little lake in the mountains of Bavaria (staffelsee).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Tenures, Including the Theory and Practice of Copyholds: With an Historical Introduction on the Feudal System, and Copious Notes and Illustrations As those barbarous nations were derived from a common source, the governments which they founded, and the customs which regulated their conduct, were as similar to each other as they were different from the forms of polity of other states. They were originally a free and a brave people, and their conceptions of liberty and glory they religiously preserved. The ultimate property of the soil, and the source of political authority, were considered by them as vested in the society at large; they were careful of individual freedom, and consequently jealous of individual power. When they abdicated their native lands and sought for new habitations, each emigrating body of people was a well-regulated army. The free man, though conscious of his own importance, and sensible of his own claim to a share in the lands which his sword should contribute to con quer, paid a willing and faithful obedience to his immediate Chieftain; and the respective chiefs were equally subordinate to the heretoch, or general, who conducted them.

But the verdict, it must be confessed, is indecisive. There is not an aspect of the argument which has not been variously viewed; and there has been scarcely a judgment expressed in any quarter which has not been contra dicted in some other. The reader who ingeniously suspects the book's purpose to be revolutionary, may suppose that blame will have come solely from the conservatives and praise from the radicals. But a look over the comments reveals no such line of cleavage; for the radicals have Often censured, and the conservatives have Often, though guardedly, commended.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of the Feudal System on the Formation of Political Character: The Stanhope Prize Essay for 1863 The leading fact of the feudal system was the tenure of land on certain conditions existing mutually between the lord and the vassal. Tenure somewhat similar, and even on the terms of military service, had existed in the Roman colonies, and indeed in a more perfect form among the tribes of Scythia. But the resident feudal lord owning the land around his castle, which was cultivated by vassals who paid him with their service, represented an historical period and a class new to the history of the world. The absence of domestic slavery would in itself have been sufficient to prevent the new world from being a repetition of the old. In modern times the disturbing element has been the lowest class. The upheaval from below is more dangerous than any changes on the surface. But a slave country has no such lowest class. The greatest social and political pro blems of modern days never rise for solution in it. The whole mass of its people creates an upper, and therefore to a certain extent an equal class. Such a class must either govern or be governed as a mass. If it is found in a nation which is centralised in a city, it forms the plebs of Rome or the demos of Athens; if it becomes a nation and not an imperial city, it must submit to a Caesar. For the modern world, for nations which were nations from the beginning, ancient freedom was an impossibility. Not so however ancient ty ranny. And feudalism was the cause which saved the modern world from ancient tyranny. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Position and Course of the South IF history teaches any one lesson more emphatically than another, it is, that political institutions are never destroyed by inﬂuences fo1eign to tliemselves. Wherever, the1eforc in the h1st01 y of government, there have been two contending classes, the success of the one has been achieved by the inconsistency of the other. The reformation was begun by a Catholic Priest. The feudal system was destroyed by absolute monaichs. The 1evolution of 1688 was the wolk of the Whig aristoc racy, as was the reform bill of a later period - and the French revolution, so often misquoted, was the joint labour of infidel Priests and democrat nobles.

I could with almost equal ease present myself at your hospitable lodge at Trinity, in a coat embroidered like that in which Dryden, when in statu pupillari there, may have waited on the Master of his days.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Order of the King, or the Man Who Laughs, Vol. 1 Everything about England is great, even that which is not good, even her oligarchy. The English patrician order is patrician in the absolute sense of the word. No feudal system was ever more illustrious, more terrible, and more tenacious of life. This feudal system, we may remark, has been useful in its day. The phenomenon of seignorial rights must be studied in England, just as the phenomenon of royalty must be studied in France. The true title of this book should be, Aristocracy. An other, to follow it, may be entitled, The Monarchy. And these two books, if the author is permitted to finish them, will be the predecessors and forerunners of yet a third, which will be entitled, ninety-three.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Medieval and Modern History Medieval history covers the thousand years which divide the breaking up Of the Roman dominion in the West from the formation of the modern European States-system, near the close of the fifteenth century. This interval between the Old order and the new may, how ever, be conveniently viewed ia two widely contrasted periods. During the first six hundred years, the forces which tend to anarchy and disso lution were apparently the stronger, excepting while they were held in check by the genius of Charlemagne. These six centuries are known as the Dark Ages. Their chief events were the migrations of the northern tribes; the repulse of the Saracens, who aimed to annex Europe to the dominion of the Caliphs; the revival of the Western Empire, and the rise of the Feudal System. The next four centuries are more properly called the Middle Ages. They are marked by greater activity Of the tendencies to order and civilization: tribes settle into nations the remnant of the migratory impulse expending itself in pilgrimages and crusades; languages are developed and improved; chivalry refines the manners of the warrior, but itself declines, as'feudal chiefs become subject to consolidated mon archies; learning is diffused, and industry attains something of its just dignity and importance.
