Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 6 ON the Continent the news of Mary's death excited various emotions. The Huguenots, in every part of Europe to which they had wandered, bewailed the elect Lady, who had retrenched from her own royal state in order to furnish bread and shelter to the perse cuted people of God.1 In the United Provinces, where she was well known and had always been popular, she was tenderly lamented. Matthew Prior, whose parts and accomplishments had obtained for him the patronage of the munificent Dorset, and who was now attached to the Embassy at the Hague, wrote that the coldest and most passionless of nations was touched. The very marble, he said, wept.2 The lamentations of Cambridge and Oxford were echoed by Leyden and Utrecht. The States General put on mourning. The bells of all the steeples of Holland tolled dolefully day after day.3 James, meanwhile. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 6 of 6: From the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Revolution in 1688 The natural consequence of the poverty of the crown was, besides feeble irregular transactions in foreign affairs, a continual uncertainty in its domestic administration. No one could answer with any tolerable assurance for the measures of the House of Commons. Few of the members were attached to the court by any other band than that of inclination. Royalists, indeed, in their prin ciples, but inexperienced in business, they lay exposed to every rumour or insinuation; and were driven by mo mentary. Gusts or currents no less than the populace them selves. Even the attempts made to gain an ascendant over them by offices, and, as it is believed, by bribes and pensions, were apt to Operate in a manner contrary to What was intended by the ministers. The novelty of the practice conveyed a general, and indeed a just, alarm; While, at the same time, the poverty of the crown ren dered this inﬂuence very limited and precarious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England, From the Invasion of Julius Caesar to the Abdication of James the Second, 1688, Vol. 6 It had been usual for the bankers to carry their money to the exchequer, and to advance it upon security of 'the funds by which they were afterwards reimbursed when the money was levied on the public. The bankers by this traffic got eight, sometimes ten per cent., for sums which either had been consigned to them without interest, or which they had bor rowed at six per cent.; profits which they dearly paid for by this egregious breach of public faith. The measure was so suddenly taken, that none had warning of the danger. A general confusion prevailed in the city, followed by the ruin of many. The bankers stopped payment; the merchants could answer no bills; distrust took place every where, with a stagnation of commerce, by which the public was universally affected. And men, full of dismal apprehensions, asked each other what must be the scope of those mysterious counsels, whence the parliament and all men of honor were excluded, and which commenced by the forfeiture of public credit, and an open violation of the most solemn engagements, both foreign and domestic.
