Excerpt from Charles XII of Sweden On what foundation stands the warrior's pride, How just his hopes let Swedish Charles decide; A frame of adamant, a soul of fire, No dangers fright him, and no labours tire; O'er love, o'er fear, extends his wide domain, Unconquer'd lord of pleasure and of pain; No joys to him pacific sceptres yield, War sounds the trump, he rushes to the field; Behold surrounding kings their pow'rs combine, And one capitulate, and one resign; Peace courts his hand, but spreads her charms in vain; 'Think nothing gain'd, ' he cries, 'till nought remain, 'On Moscow's walls till Gothic standards fly, 'And all be mine beneath the Polar sky.' The march begins in military state, And nations on his eye suspended wait; Stem Famine guards the solitary coast, And Winter barricades the realms of Frost; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Voltaire's History of Charles XII, King of Sweden "To Charles the Twelfth of Sweden I owe much of what has stood me in best stead all my life. It was nearly thirty years ago, when but a boy, that I bought his Life for a penny in the New Cut. I took it home and devoured it. It made a great impression on me. Not his wars, but the Spartan heroism of his character. He inspired me with the idea of triumphing over physical weakness, weariness and pain. To inure his body to bear all manner of hardships indifferently, to bathe in ice, or face the torrid rays of the sun, to discipline his physical powers by gymnastics, to despise the niceties of food and drink, to make his body an instrument as of tempered steel, and at the same time to have that body absolutely at the disposition of the mind, that seemed to me conduct worthy of a hero. And so, boylike, I tried to imitate him, and succeeded at least so far as to be happily indifferent to the circumstances of my personal environment." John Burns.

Excerpt from The Life of Charles XII, King of Sweden: Translated From the French For a different reason are the names of bad princes remembered; it is as men preserve the remembrance of inundations, fires, and plagues. Between tyrants and good kings, are conquerors, but nearest approaching to the first, and these have a shining reputation. Every one is desirous to know the minutest articles of their lives: and such is the weakness of man kind, that they behold any glorious mischief with admiration, and are better pleased to talk of the destroyer of an empire than of its founder.

Excerpt from History of Charles XII An extract from Lord Macaulay's splendid article on Fred erick the Great, which we have entitled, Voltaire and Fred erick the Great, shows, in a brilliant narrative, the relation sustained to each other by the king-philosophe of Ferney and the philosophe-king Of Prussia. It is an important chapter in Voltaire's life, and indicates the manner in which the biography of the mad mocker, who made all intellectual Europe dance, should be written. The field is still open for a man of sound judgment, ample knowledge, and literary skill. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Jacobite Exile: Being the Adventures of a Young Englishman in the Service of Charles XII, of Sweden My dear Lads, Had I attempted to write you an account of the whole of the adventurous career of Charles XII. of Sweden, it would, in itself, have filled a bulky volume to the exclusion of all other matter, and a youth who fought at Narva would have been a middle-aged man at the death of that warlike monarch before the walls of Frederickshall. I have therefore been obliged to confine myself to the first three years of his reign, in which he crushed the army of Russia at Narva, and laid the then powerful republic of Poland prostrate at his feet. In this way only could I obtain space for the private adventures and doings of Charlie Carstairs, the hero of the story. The details of the wars of Charles XII. were taken from the military history written at his command by his chamberlain, Adlerfeld, from a similar narrative by a Scotch gentleman in his service, and from Voltaire's history. The latter is responsible for the statement that the trade of Poland was almost entirely in the hands of Scotch, French, and Jewish merchants, the Poles themselves being sharply divided into the two categories of nobles and peasants.
