For what man is there so despising knowledge, or any so idle and slothfull to be found, which will eschew or avoide by what policies or by what kinde of government the most part of nations of the universall world were vanquished, subdued and made subject unto the one empire of the Romanes, which before that time was never seen or heard?

This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origins and Destiny of Imperial Britain Nineteenth Century Europe by J. A. (John Adam) Cramb WHAT IS IMPERIALISM? [Tuesday, May 8th, 1900] The present age has rewritten the annals of the world, and set its own impress on the traditions of humanity. In no period has the burden of the past weighed so heavily upon the present, or the interpretation of its speculative import troubled the heart so profoundly, so intimately, so monotonously. How remote we stand from the times when Raleigh could sit down in the Tower, and with less anxiety about his documents, State records, or stone monuments than would now be imperative in compiling the history of a county, proceed to write the History of the World! And in speculation it is the Tale, the fabula, the procession of impressive incidents and personages, which enthralls him, and with perfect fitness he closes his work with the noblest Invocation to Death that literature possesses. But beneath the variety or pathos of the Tale the present age ever apprehends a deeper meaning, or is oppressed by a sense of mystery, of wonder, or of sorrow unrevealed, which defies tears. This revolution in our conception of History, this boundless industry which in Germany, France, England, Italy, has led to the printing of mountains of forgotten memoirs, correspondences, State papers, this endless sifting of evidence, this treasuring above riches of the slight results slowly and patiently drawn, is neither accident, nor transient caprice, nor antiquarian frenzy, but a phase of the guiding impulse, the supreme instinct of this age-the ardour to know all, to experience all, to be all, to suffer all, in a word, to know the Truth of things-if haply there come with it immortal life, even if there come with it silence and utter death. The deepened significance of history springs thus from the deepened significance of life, and the passion of our interest in the past from the passion of our interest in the present. The half-effaced image on a coin, the illuminated margin of a mediaeval manuscript, the smile on a fading picture-if these have become, as it were, fountains of unstable reveries, perpetuating the Wonder which is greater than Knowledge, it is a power from the present that invests them with this magic. Life has become more self-conscious; not of the narrow self merely, but of that deeper Self, the mystic Presence which works behind the veil. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the People of England in the Nineteenth Century, 1832-1898, Vol. 2 It is not necessary here to go into the question whether or not the death penalty ought or ought not to be abolished altogether. It is so abolished in some countries of Europe and in some States Of the American Republic; and the argument is still going on as to the effect Of abolition on the increase or the decrease Of crime. It is perfectly certain that while the death penalty was enacted for all manner Of minor Offences the Offences did not decrease in number. How far the teaching of this evidence may be practically pushed, and whether the death penalty has in any cases the eect of diminishing the general average Of crime, is a question which to this day occupies the serious attention Of philan thropists and law reformers everywhere.

Download or read book British Foreign Policy in Europe written by H. E. Egerton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Foreign Policy in Europe: To the End of the 19th Century; A Rough Outline Ne sulor ultra crepidam is a wise maxim, to which the progress of time gives increasing authority. It may seem, then, to savour of presumption that one, whose work has been mainly concerned with colonial and imperial history, should embark upon the difficult waters of European politics. But, on the other hand, it must be remembered that, up to the present time, colonial and imperial history cannot be understood without reference to the European system from which it took its rise, just as a knowledge of a particular limb is impossible without some study of the body as a whole. 'The only begetter' of this volume was Mr. Philip Kerr of The Round Table, who, in conversation, suggested to me that there was room for a book#4 which, by dealing with British foreign policy apart from a narrative of events, should endeavour, without undue length, to put forward the views of past British statesmen. Unfortunately Mr. Kerr has been too busy for me to consult him during the progress of my work, so that I cannot say how far it fulfils the idea that was in his mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Convents of Great Britain IF the question were to be asked what is the most striking feature of the religious history of the nineteenth century, I think I should be tempted to answer that nothing in the last hundred years has been more remarkable and on the whole more far-reaching in its effects than the incredible growth and multiplication of congregations of religious women. Over a great part of Europe, which Protestantism had spared, the French Revolution and the wars of Napoleon swept like a flame. Behind them was left, religiously speak ing, nothing but ruin and desolation. Only here and there in sheltered nooks and corners a green spot was to be found upon which the eye could rest with pleasure; but for the most part the very promise of the future seemed to have been withered to the roots. A few years passed, peace was restored, and 10! On every side the land was verdant again With a hardy and luxuriant growth.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial and Commercial Revolutions in Great Britain During the Nineteenth Century A new conception of personal liberty emerged and the mass Of the population of Europe became free in the nineteenth century as it had never been free before. Governments had to face new classes and new problems and a new conception Of national policy also emerged. The new methods Of manu facture and transport created new demands for raw materials and food, new areas were opened up, new wants created and new markets developed, so that by the end Of the period the whole globe was knit up in a world economy Of world inter dependence and exchange and world rivalry. The onl) century that can compare with the nineteenth for the rapidity and fundamental nature of its changes is the sixteenth. In this latter century the enormous importance of the discovery of the sea route to India and the two Americas became evident in new trade routes new commercial and colonial rivalries, new struggles among nations, a new mer chant class and a considerable acceleration of the growth of capital with all that it implied in the reorganisation of indus trial and agricultural life. The linking up of Europe with the Indies and the New World was followed by the revolution in economic thought brought about by the Reformation and the substitution of the royal and secular governments for the Church as the directing power in economic life. Of the five countries that may be styled Great Powers in the nineteenth century, viz., England, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, ' only the first two counted as important economic entities in the sixteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Europe and Britain In this volume I have tried to give some results of independent work, and of University teaching, during the past ten years. Perhaps no period quite equals the Nineteenth Century as a 'torch to light us forwards as well as backwards,' and if we had followed that light more closely, the civilized world might have been less 'forwandred' to-day. In the opening paragraphs of the book itself I have summarized certain conclusions and suggestions which have helped to guide me. Instead of inserting geographical sketches and plans, necessarily rather meagre on a small page, I would refer readers to the more excellent way of consulting such a handy, scholarly, inexpensive, and altogether admirable map-collection as Robertson and Bartholomew's Historical Atlas of Modern Europe, 1789-1914 (Oxford, 1915). The Additional Notes on civilization- or culture-history, at certain epochs (e.g. 1812-15; 1870-71), only attempt to deal with a select number of outstanding and representative years. Even a slight survey of this field, as a whole, throughout the time here considered (1812-1918), was out of the question, much as I could have wished otherwise. And, in particular, I thought it best not to try anything on this side after the Franco-German War (1870-71). But I hope what has been tried may be of use.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragedy of a Throne According to all human probability we are now nearing the termination of the terrible drama which has brought such overwhelming sorrow to the world. When the end comes we shall find ourselves in a state of chaos from which it will become the duty of the Allies to educe a new political and social Europe. As that day approaches it is opportune to remember that though the Hohenzollern and the Junker and the Prussian warmongers merit severely condign chastisement, certain of the Germanic States have to be dealt with more in sorrow than in anger. The attachment of the Southern German States to the Confederation is, in reality, but a myth so far as the inner feeling of the masses of the people is concerned. Bavaria, and Baden, and Wurtemberg as well, would gladly recover, if they could, the independence which they lost in 1867 and re-sacrificed in 1871. It is essential to keep in mind that the Confederation of Germany has never been a sincere union. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nineteenth Century and After, Vol. 64: XIX-XX; A Monthly Review Founded by James Knowles; July-December, 1908 The most striking feature Of King Edward's reign lies, no doubt, in the remarkable change which has taken place in Great Britain's foreign policy. In consequence Of that change the international political position and importance of this country have greatly altered. Foreign statesmen used to think that London lay outside the main currents Of international policy. Bismarck declared that England was no longer an active factor in the affairs of continental Europe, and that he left her out of account in his political calculations. His immediate successors and some non-german statesmen Showed by their actions that they Shared Bismarck's Opinion. England was pretty generally thought to be of secondary importance on the chess board of European diplomacy. The London embassies were Sinecures Where second-rate diplomats grew grey in attending to routine work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
