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.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Lord Macaulay
I have thought it right to publish that portion of the continuation of the "History of England" which was fairly transcribed and revised by Lord Macaulay. It is given to the world precisely as it was left: no connecting link has been added; no reference verified; no authority sought for or examined. It would indeed have been possible, with the help I might have obtained from his friends, to have supplied much that is wanting; but I preferred, and I believe the public will prefer, that the last thoughts of the great mind passed away from among us should be preserved sacred from any touch but his own. Besides the revised manuscript, a few pages containing the first rough sketch of the last two months of William's reign are all that is left. From this I have with some difficulty deciphered the account of the death of William.

History of England, Vol. 6 (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a tumultuous period of English history during the reign of King William III. As the nation mourned the passing of Queen Mary, the stability of the crown was precariously balanced, with Jacobite conspirators plotting in the shadows. Amidst the political turmoil, the death of Lord Halifax, a prominent statesman, sends shockwaves through the court, while the investigation into the bribery and corruption within high ranks of government reveals the extent of moral decay within the state. The author weaves a gripping narrative, unravelling the complex web of events and shining a light on the key figures whose actions shaped the course of English history. The book not only provides a detailed account of the era but also delves into the moral and political dilemmas faced by individuals in times of great change, inviting readers to contemplate the enduring themes of loyalty, ambition, and the pursuit of power.
