This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXVI. THE WINDOW IN WHITEHALL. The King was condemned on January 27. On the 29th he took leave of the two of his children-that were in England--the Princess Elizabeth, who was then thirteen years old, and the Duke of Gloucester, who was but eight. There had been some talk of making the boy King, so that the chiefs of the Parliament might rule in his name (his two elder brothers were not in England). Charles took the child on his knee, and said to him, "Sweetheart, now will they cut off thy father's head." The boy looked at him very earnestly. He went on, " Heed, my child, what I say; they will cut off my head, and perhaps make thee a king. But mark what I say: you must not be a king so long as your brothers Charles and James live; therefore I charge you, do not be made a king by them." "I will be torn in pieces first," said the boy. He made the boy promise that he would never consent to be king while his elder brothers were alive. Then giving them some jewels, the only riches, he said, he could bestow on them, he sent them away. Dr. Juxon, Bishop of London, was with him till late. When the Bishop had gone, he spent two hours more in meditation and prayers. The gentleman who was with him related that that though he himself could not sleep, the King slept quietly for four hours. About five in the morning--"two hours before dawn"--the King opened his curtain and called to him. "I will get up," he said, " for I have a great work to do this day "; and shortly after, "This is my second marriage day; I would be as trim to-day as may be, for before night I hope to be espoused to my Lord." He then chose the clothes that he would wear, taking care to have an extra shirt, for he said, " The season is so sharp as may probably make me quake....

Excerpt from History of King Richard the First of England The author of this series has made it his spe cial object to confine himself very strictly, even in the most minute details which he records, to historic truth. The narratives are not tales founded upon history, but history itself, without any embellishment, or any deviations from the strict truth so far as it can now be discovered by an attentive examination of the annals writ ten at the time when the events themselves cc curred. In writing the narratives, the author has endeavored to avail himself of the best sources of information which this country af fords; and though, of course, there must be in these volumes, as in all historical accounts.

Excerpt from History of King Richard the Third of England King richard the third, known com mouly in history as Richard the Usurper, was perhaps as bad a man as the principle of hered itary sovereignty ever raised to the throne, or perhaps it should rather be said, as the principle of hereditary sovereignty ever made. There is no evidence that his natural disposition was marked with any peculiar depravity. He was made reckless, unscrupulous, and cruel by the influences which surrounded him, and the cir cumstances in which he lived, and by being habituated to believe, from his earliest child hood, that the family to which he belonged were born to live in luxury and splendor, and to reign, while the millions that formed the great mass of the community were created only to toil and to obey. The manner in which the principles of pride, ambition, and desperate love of power, which were instilled into his mind in his earliest years, brought forth in the end their.

Excerpt from History of Richard Cromwell and the Restoration of Charles II, Vol. 1 of 2 In publishing the present History of the Protectorate of Richard Cromwell and of the Restoration of Charles II., which forms the third part of my History of the English Revolution, I should not consider it necessary to make any prefatory observations, if I were not anxious to give a short explanation with regard to the Historical Documents which are appended to it. These documents are numerous. I have collected, and I might have published, many others which would not have been wanting in interest. My reason for publishing all those which accompany these volumes, and those only, is the following: - When an author has carefully studied a great historical drama, in the national annals and archives, there still remains one important witness for him to examine, - the public who looked on, without taking part in the action.

Excerpt from England and the Hundred Years' War: 1327-1485 A. D There are so many School Histories of England already in existence, that it may perhaps seem presumptuous on the part of the authors Of this series to add six volumes more tothe number. But they have their defence: the Oxford Manuals of English History are intended to serve a particular purpose. There are several good general histories already in use, and there are a considerable number of scattered 'epochs' or 'periods'. But there seems still to be room for a set of books which shall combine the virtues of both these classes. Schools often wish to take up only a certain portion Of the history of England, and find one of the large general histories too bulky for their use. On the other hand, if they employ one of the isolated 'epochs' to which allusion has been made, they find in most cases that there is no succeeding work on the same scale and lines from'which the scholar can continue his study and pass on to the next period, without a break in the continuity of his knowledge.
