Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Hickling Prescott This volume makes no pretense of supplanting Ticknor's "Life of Prescott." It aims simply to supplement it. Ticknor wrote the biography of his lifelong friend, possessed of ample materials; but he was already an old man; his view of society and literature, always severe, had deepened into something like austerity; and to bring out vividly the playful and engagingly human aspects of Prescott's character would doubtless have seemed to him like taking liberties with the Muse of History. To complete and correct the picture of Prescott's personality, while giving a condensed but connected account of his life and work, has been the sole task undertaken by the present writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Men of Letters: William Hickling Prescott Throughout the first few decades of the nineteenth century, the United States, though forming a political entity, were in everything but name divided into three separate nations, each one of which was quite unlike the other two. This difference sprang partly from the character of the population in each, partly from divergent tendencies in American colonial develop ment, and partly from conditions which were the result of both these causes. The culture history, therefore, of each of the three sections exhibits, naturally enough, a distinct and definite phase of intellectual activity, which is reflected very clearly in the records of American literature.

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of William Hickling Prescott, Vol. 9 of 12 The reign of Philip the Second has occupied the pen of the historian more frequently if we except that of Charles the Fifth than any other portion of the Spanish annals. It has become familiar to the English reader through the pages of Watson, who has deservedly found favor with the public for the perspicuity of his style, a virtue, however, not uncommon in his day, for the sobriety of his judg ments, and for the skill he has shown in arranging his com plicated story, so as to maintain the reader's interest un broken to the end. But the public, in Watson's day, were not very fastidious in regard to the sources of the informa tion on which a narrative was founded. Nor was it easy to obtain access to those unpublished documents which con stitute the best sources of information. Neither can it be denied that Watson himself was not so solicitous as he should have been to profit by opportunities which a little pains might have put within his reach, presenting, in this re spect, a contrast to his more celebrated predecessor, Robert son; that he contented himself too easily with such cheap and commonplace materials as lay directly in his path; and that, consequently, the foundations of his history are much too slight for the superstructure. For these reasons, the reign of Philip the Second must still be regarded as open ground for English and American writers. And at no time could the history of this reign have been undertaken with the same advantages as at present, when the more enlightened policy of the European governments has opened their national archives to the inspection of the scholar; when he is allowed access, in particular, to the Archives of Simancas, which have held the secrets of the Spanish monarchy hermetically sealed for ages.

Download or read book William Hickling Prescott written by C. Harvey Gardiner and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-12-06 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of a distinguished historian and man of letters is the first study of William Hickling Prescott (1796–1859) to be written by a historian who has worked with the very themes explored by Prescott. And it is the first to treat him not only as creative historian but also as family man, as traveler and clubman, as investor and humanitarian, and as private citizen with strong political preferences. Prescott the socialite and Prescott the introvert writer emerge in the round as the magnificent amateur who helped establish canons that have enriched American historical scholarship ever since. Blending history and literature, his multivolume works won Prescott the first significant international reputation to be accorded to an American historian. Working despite persistent obstacles of health and against a penchant for society and leisure that was always part of his personality, Prescott came to be considered the finest interpreter of the Hispanic world produced by the Anglo-Saxon world. His Conquest of Mexico and Conquest of Peru were pronounced classics. C. Harvey Gardiner takes the reader back to the nineteenth century in style and in subject to present William Hickling Prescott, gentleman and scholar, firmly fixed in relationship to his community and his times. But Gardiner's Victorian stance and respect for nineteenth-century historiography do not prevent his presenting Prescott as a whole man, viewed in retrospect, stripped of myth, and evaluated for moderns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Joy of the Christian Mourner: A Sermon Occasioned by the Death of William Hickling Prescott, Preacher in the First Church, Feb, 6, 1859 Let us admit, at the outset, that it is a very high strain. The words must have seemed, at first, a very hard saying to the disciples: they may seem so to us. Those disciples did love their Lord, and yet hardly in that wise. They did love their Lord; but their hearts were troubled when they heard him speak of going away. Nevertheless, the time came when his joy was fulfilled in them; when the invisible Lord of glory, restored at once to the bosom of the Father and to the communion of his believing children, was more to them even than the dear friend, the sweet light of whose heavenly face had made their world so bright and beautiful. The strain, I say, is a high one. The joy of which the Saviour speaks may be thought to be beyond our measure.
