Excerpt from The Georgian Era, Vol. 1 of 4: Memoirs of the Most Eminent Persons, Who Have Flourished in Great Britain; From the Accession of George the First to the Demise of George the Fourth Biography is generally admitted to be one of the most amusing and instructive subjects in the whole range of literature. It illustrates history; reveals the trifling causes of great events; renders us familiar with the character and habits of eminent individuals; displays the consequences of human conduct, under its various modifications; and combines the fascinations of romance with the sober dignity and sterling value of truth. A strong, and perfectly natural curiosity is felt, even as to the biography of illustrious persons who have flourished at remote periods, or in foreign climes: but their lives are destitute of that peculiar interest which is attached to those, of our cotemporary fellow-countrymen, and immediate predecessors. Under this conviction, the present work has been undertaken. Its object is, to present a luminous view of men and measures during a recent and most important period of British History - namely, from the accession of George the First to the demise of George the Fourth. In comparison with the Elizabethan or the Modern Augustan, (as the reign of Anne has been designated, ) that which may be appropriately termed The Georgian Era, possesses a paramount claim to notice: for not only has it been equally fertile in conspicuous characters, and more prolific of great events, but its influence is actually felt by the existing community of Great Britain.

Excerpt from The Georgian Era, Vol. 4 of 4: Memoirs of the Most Eminent Persons, Who Have Flourished in Great Britain, From the Accession of George the First to the Demise of George the Fourth This eminent legislator, the son of Admiral Sir William Penn, knight, and descended from an ancient family in the counties of Wilts and Bucks, was born in the parish of St. Catherine, London, in the year 1644. He received the first part of his education at a school in Chigwell, Essex, and, after some further instruction under a private tutor, was, in 1660, entered a gentleman commoner of Christchurch College, Oxford. His conduct at the university gave a favourable specimen of what might be expected from a character so firm and conscientious. Having imbibed religious impressions very strongly, he relinquished manly sports and recreations, though naturally addicted to them, and joined some other students in private meetings for devotional exercises. The heads of his college, at first, fined him for this mark, as they called it, of a sectarian spirit; and, as Penn persisted in his course, dismissed him from the university. He was then only seventeen years of age, and his father was so much incensed at seeing him return home under such unpropitious circumstances, that, after a severe remonstrance, he turned him out of doors. In the hope, however, of reclaiming him, he tried milder measures, one of which was to send him on his travels. He returned to England, after having passed two years in France, and bad so far justified his fathers anticipations, as to have become, in that time, an accomplished and fashionable young man. He had even grown such a skilful swordsman, that, it is said, he disarmed a person who had assaulted him in the streets of Paris. Shortly after his return, he was entered a student of Lincolns Inn, and continued his legal pursuits in the metropolis till compelled to leave it, by the plague. In 1666, he went into Ireland, to superintend the management of one of his fathers estates. In this country his former sentiments began to revive; and, having become a hearer of the discourses of one Loe, whose preaching had formerly affected him, he, at length, openly joined the fraternity of Quakers. In 1667, at one of their assemblies in Cork, he was apprehended, and carried to prison; but he wrote such an excellent letter on the subject, to the Earl of Orrery, that his liberation speedily followed. His father, at the same time, recalled him home, and, convinced of the unalterable sentiments of his son, no longer opposed them. He, however, could not forbear stipulating, that Penn would, at least, consent to stand uncovered in the presence of the king, the Duke of York, and himself; and the subject of our memoir having, after due consideration, refused this, was again banished his family. In this situation, he lived partly on the charity of friends, and partly on private supplies from his mother. At length, his father, whose prejudices were unable to overcome the affection and respect he could not but feel for his son, received him home again; and, when he was imprisoned for attendance on the meetings of his sect, used secretly his influence to restore him to freedom. In 1668, he published a tract, entitled, Truth Exalted; and appearing, about the same time, as a preacher as well as a writer among the Quakers, he was committed to the Tower. Here he wrote his most famous work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

Havingtakenbonn, the duke determined on pushing into the heart of Brabant and West Flan ders. The French avoiding a battle, he endeavoured to make t em retire behind their lines, and then to t s session of Antwerp and Osten his object was defeated by the cupidity of the Dutch nerals, who invaded the country of sea, to levy contributions, in opposition to the orders of Marl borough, and to the total ruin of his Klans. The campaign closed, ently to is dissatisfaction, with the re action of Huy, Limburg, and Guelder; and he was at once so much dis sted With his coadjutors, and so appre ensive that the English ministers were about to confine the war to defensive operations only, that he solicited the queen's per mission to resign: but on Harley and St. John being admitted to her councils, and at her majesty's urgent entreaty, he consented to retain his command. Austria was, at this time, seriously menaced by the Elector of Bavaria, the French armies on the Rhine, and the Hun rian rebels. Marlborough, to avoid t e impending evil, concerted, with Prince Eugene of Savoy, a gigantic plan of operations. Their first object was to seize on Donawerth, which was protected by a strong body of the elec tor's troops, who had fortified them selves on the height of Schellenberg.

Punch's History of Modern England is a unique review of the English customs, traditions, education, nobility, courts, fashion, culture, and personalities entirely based on the articles from Punch, the British satirical journal. As the author mentions in the preface, "The Files of Punch have been generally admitted to be a valuable mine of information of the manners, customs and fashions f the Victorian age." This is one of the best examples of Victorian-era humor prose and gives a unique insight into the history of England outside political matters._x000D_ _x000D_
