Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 1 of 2 The animal nature of man has, tmtil within a comparatively re cent period, held the chief sway in all political relations, and the settlement of political disputes. By the animal nature is here simply meant the impulses which lead to the love of acquisition and the glory of the battle-field, - both as purely animal impulses as any that mark the beasts that perish; both happily, now, though only very recently, reduced, in all most civilized comma nitiea under subjection to the moral and intellectual nature of man. Hence, in such political histories, battles and their details are too ti'equent. Nations, until a very recent period, have ia variably had recourse, in the settlement of all disputes, to the barbarous form of wager of battle, to decide the right, although, by the express laws of almost every nation in Europe, wag-sr of battle between individuals has been long abolished. It is extra ordinary that so barbarous and absurd a custom should have been thus so inconsistently persevered in, in the one case, while it has been abolished in the Other. The public mind in England is, however, at the present time, in general, as much opposed to the appeal to this antiquated ordeal in the one case as the other; and it is to be hoped that the page of the future historian will abound chie y in details of the moral and intellectual history of that as well as other nations; and that the history of society, of science, and of literature, will take high precedence of the his tory of politics. Meantime, the history of the politics of every nation must be studied by 'all who would observe the advance of nations, or truly understand their actual condition. More especially is that study important in respect of those nations where, as in England, the struggle between general independence and assumed individual prerogative, has been long continued and eventful, though crowned at last with noble and glorious success.

Excerpt from A Short History of England, Vol. 1 of 2 In this brief history of England I have endeavored to present within the compass of about four hundred pages the main features of England's story from the earliest times to the present day. It retains, on a smaller scale, the essential characteristics of my larger work, with many omissions of details and some additions, chiefly of a geographical and biographical character. The aim of the book is to be instructive as well as interesting. In it I have tried to tell a clear and simple story, avoiding technical expressions, and yet passing over no important features of the history that are necessary for the proper understanding of the subject. The narrative is made as continuous as possible, that the reader may follow in unbroken sequence the thread of the story. It is accompanied with a large number of newly selected illustrations, and an ample supply of maps and chronological tables. The elaborate bibliographies contained in the larger work have been omitted, and only a brief but selective list of the best books of moderate length has been retained. The history has been brought down to date in matters of scholarship as well as chronology, and contains many opinions and statements not to be found in the larger work. The book traces in rapid survey the development of the people and institutions of England from Anglo-Saxon times to the close of the year 1911, and shows by what steps the primitive organization of a semi-tribal people has been transformed into the highly complicated political and social structure of the United Kingdom and the British Empire.

Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 1 of 2: Under the Duke of Buckingham and Charles I. 1624-1628 When I first undertook to investigate the history of this momentous period, I felt a certain hesitation. Libraries positively bristled with the names of great writers who had given their thoughts to the world on the subject of these years. But I was not long in dis covering that there was still room for further investiga tion. We have had historians in plenty, but'they have been Whig historians or Tory historians. The one class has thought it unnecessary to take trouble to under stand how matters looked in the eyes of the King and his friends; the other class has thought it unnecessary to take trouble to understand how matters looked in the eyes of the leaders of the House of Commons. I am Inot so vain as to suppose that I have always succeeded in doing justice to both parties, but I have, at least, done my best not to misrepresent either.

Excerpt from Hume and Smollett's History of England, Vol. 1 of 2: Abridged, and Continued to the Accession of George IV Tun following Work claims no higher merit, than that of being a faithful abridg ment of Hume and Smollett' s Histories of England, with a continuation from nu thentic documents of events between the year 1760 and the coronation of George the Fourth. The author hopes that the whole will prove useful as a mandal to juvenile students, for whom it is chiefly designed. The necessity of acquiring knowledge of the history of our own country, and of public events in which Great Britain has participated, is so obvious, as to render it unnecessary to prove, that the history of their own country is a study which no lbritish youth of either sex ought to neg set.

Excerpt from A History of England, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Defeat of the Armada to the Death of Elizabeth, With an Account of English Institutions During the Later Sixteenth and Early Seventeenth Centuries The second object, that of describing the institutions of the time, is an efi'ort to give a clearer impression of central and local government, industry, the church and its opponents, intellectual life and social customs at the culmination of a period of especial interest; a period which has the additional claim to attention that it was the eve of the settlement of America, and that many of these institutions were about to become the basis of a new form of society beyond the sea. Customs change more slowly than men, and it has therefore been considered defensible to seek for illustrations of these institutions during a period extending somewhat before and after the fifteen years of which the narrative is given. The chapters describing institutions have been introduced among those devoted more particularly to narrative in the order that has seemed most clear. A word may be said concerning the use of footnotes. The large number of individual statements that have been necce sary in so detailed an account has required many references.

Excerpt from The History of England, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Landing of Caesar to the Reign of Victoria The division into separate reigns appears to me more distinct, for those at least not well acquainted with the course of events, than the sections adopted by Mr. Green, in his learned and valuable compendium. In the spelling of proper names I have followed the examples of Lingard and Hallam. A short Appendix to the First Volume contains a sketch of the life of St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland, and some information concerning the first promulgation of Christianity in the British islands, which may, I hope, be interesting to my readers.
