from politics and unused to arms; a public given up to
pleasure and money getting; a multitude of scholars, devoted
to trifles, and vitiated by studies which clashed with the
ideals of Christianity—from such elements in the nation
proceeded a widely spread and ever-increasing degeneracy. …
Religion expired in laughter, irony, and license. Domestic
simplicity yielded to vice, whereof the records are precise
and unmistakable. The virile virtues disappeared. What
survived of courage assumed the forms of ruffianism, ferocity,
and treasonable daring. Still, simultaneously with this
decline in all the moral qualities which constitute a powerful
people, the Italians brought their arts and some departments
of their literature to a perfection that can only be
paralleled by Ancient Greece. The anomaly implied in this
statement is striking; but it is revealed to us by evidence
too overwhelming to be rejected.

J. A. Froude:
Luther,
2512-2513 (2451-2452).
"The presence in which he [Luther, at the Diet] found himself
would have tried the nerves of the bravest of men; the
Emperor, sternly hostile, with his retinue of Spanish priests
and nobles; the Archbishops and bishops, all of the opinion
that the stake was the only fitting place for so insolent a
heretic; the dukes and barons, whose stern eyes were little
likely to reveal their sympathy, if sympathy any of them felt.
Only one of them, George of Frundsberg, had touched Luther on
the shoulder as he passed through the ante-room. ‘Little monk,
little monk,’ he said, ‘thou hast work before thee that I, and
many a man whose trade is war, never faced the like of. If thy
heart is right, and thy cause good, go on, in God’s name. He
will not forsake thee.’ … There was a pause, and then Eck said
that he had spoken disrespectfully; his heresies had already
been condemned at the Council at Constance; let him retract on
these special points, and he should have consideration for the
rest. He required a plain Yes or No from him ‘without horns.’
The taunt roused Luther’s blood. His full brave self was in
the reply. ‘I will give you an answer,’ he said, ‘which has
neither horns nor teeth. Popes have erred and Councils have
erred. Prove to me out of Scripture that I am wrong, and I
submit. Till then my conscience binds me. Here I stand. I can
do no more. God help me. Amen.’ All day long the storm raged.
Night had fallen, and torches were lighted before the sitting
closed. Luther was dismissed at last. When he had reached his
lodging again, he flung up his hands. ‘I am through!’ he
cried. ‘I am through! If I had a thousand heads they should be
struck off one by one before I would retract.’"

14. THE BEGINNING OF THE COUNTER-REFORMATION
(ABOUT A. D. 1535):
"I intend to use this term Counter-Reformation to denote the
reform of the Catholic Church, which was stimulated by the
German Reformation, and which, when the Council of Trent had
fixed the dogmas and discipline of Latin Christianity, enabled
the Papacy to assume a militant policy in Europe, whereby it
regained a large portion of the provinces that had previously
lapsed to Lutheran and Calvinistic dissent. … The centre of
the world-wide movement which is termed the
Counter-Reformation was naturally Rome. Events had brought the
Holy See once more into a position of prominence. It was more
powerful as an Italian State now, through the support of Spain
and the extinction of national independence, than at any
previous period of history."

"The long contest for Gallican rights had lowered the prestige
of the popes in France, but it had not weakened the Catholic
Church, which was older than the monarchy itself, and, in the
feelings of the people, was indissolubly associated with it.
The College of the Sorbonne, or the Theological Faculty at
Paris, and the Parliament, which had together maintained
Gallican liberty, were united in stern hostility to all
doctrinal innovations."

Catholic army lost 3000 men, more than 400 of whom were
members of the first families in the Kingdom; 3000 men were
made prisoners. Not more than a third part of their entire
army escaped. The Huguenots lost only about 200 men. … Before
night fell Navarre wrote a few lines to the French King, which
ran thus:
‘Sire, my Lord and Brother,—Thank God, I have beaten your
enemies and your army.' It was but too true that the poor
King’s worst enemies were to be found in the very armies that
were marshalled in his name."

firmly, I beg; if the heat of the combat compels you to quit
them, think always of the rally; it is the gaining of the
battle. If you lose your ensigns, pennons, and banners, do not
lose sight of my white plume; you will find it always on the
road of honor and victory.’

"For the benefit of the Protestants the cardinal concession of
the Edict was liberty to dwell anywhere in the royal
dominions, without being subjected to inquiry, vexed,
molested, or constrained to do anything contrary to their
conscience. As respects public worship, while perfect equality
was not established, the dispositions were such as to bring it
within the power of a Protestant in any part of the Kingdom to
meet his fellow-believers for the holiest acts, at least from
time to time. … Scholars of both religions were to be admitted
without distinction of religion to all universities, colleges,
and schools throughout France. The same impartiality was to
extend to the reception of the sick in the hospitals, and to
the poor in the provision made for this relief. More than
this, the Protestants were permitted to establish schools of
their own in all places where their worship was authorized."

condemned all the inhabitants of the Netherlands to death as
heretics. From this universal doom only a few persons,
especially named, were excepted. A proclamation of the King,
dated ten days later, confirmed this decree of the
Inquisition, and ordered it to be carried into instant
execution, without regard to age, sex, or condition. This is
probably the most concise death-warrant that was ever framed.
Three millions of people, men, women, and children, were
sentenced to the scaffold in three lines; and as it was well
known that these were not harmless thunders, like some bulls
of the Vatican, but serious and practical measures which it
was intended should be enforced, the horror which they
produced may be easily imagined."

"Thus constituted was the commonwealth upon the death of
William the Silent. The gloom produced by that event was
tragical. Never in human history was a more poignant and
universal sorrow for the death of any individual. The despair
was, for a brief season, absolute; but it was soon succeeded
by more lofty sentiments. … Even on the very day of the
murder, the Estates of Holland, then sitting at Delft, passed
a resolution ‘to maintain the good cause, with God’s help, to
the uttermost, without sparing gold or blood.’ … The next
movement, after the last solemn obsequies had been rendered to
the Prince, was to provide for the immediate wants of his
family. For the man who had gone into the revolt with almost
royal revenues, left his estate so embarrassed that his
carpets, tapestries, household linen—nay, even his silver
spoons, and the very clothes of his wardrobe—were disposed of
at auction for the benefit of his creditors."

THE THIRTY YEARS’ WAR
(A. D. 1618-1648).
"The Thirty Years’ War was the last struggle which marked the
progress of the Reformation. This war, whose direction and
object were equally undetermined, may be divided into four
distinct portions, in which the Elector Palatine, Denmark,
Sweden, and France played in succession the principal part. It
became more and more complicated until it spread over the
whole of Europe. It was prolonged indefinitely by various
causes.
I. The intimate union between the two branches of the house of
Austria and of the Catholic party,—their opponents, on the
other hand, were not homogeneous.
II. The inaction of England, the tardy intervention of France,
the poverty of Denmark and Sweden, etc. The armies which took
part in the Thirty Years’ War were no longer feudal militias,
they were permanent armies, and lived at the expense of the
countries which they laid waste."

"No succor reached the unfortunate people; but neither did the
victors attain their end. Protestantism and Hussite memories
could not be slain, and only outward submission was extorted.
… But a desert was created; the land was crushed for a
generation. Before the war Bohemia had 4,000,000 inhabitants,
and in 1648 there were but 700,000 or 800,000. In some parts
of the country the population has not attained the standard of

was displayed on a great scale the superiority of mobility
over weight. It was an epoch in history, because it broke the
force upon which the revived Catholicism had relied for the
extension of its empire over Europe. Germany might tear
herself to pieces for yet another half-generation, but the
actual result of the Thirty Years’ War was as good as
achieved."

"This, which had been a civil war at the first, did not
continue such for long, or rather it united presently all the
dreadfulness of a civil war and a foreign. It was not long
before the hosts which trampled the German soil had in large
part ceased to be German; every region of Europe sending of
its children, and, as it would seem, of those whom it must
have been gladdest to be rid of, to swell the ranks of the
destroyers. … Under conditions like these it is not wonderful
that the fields were left untilled; for who would sow, what he
could never reap? What wonder that famine, thus invited,
should before long have arrived? … Persons were found dead in
the fields with grass in their mouths, while the tanner’s and
knackers’ yards were beset for the putrid carcasses of beasts.
Men climbed up the gibbets and tore down the bodies which were
suspended there, and devoured them. Prisoners were killed that
they might be eaten. Children were enticed from home. …
Putting all together, it is not too much to say that the
crowning horrors of Samaria, of Jerusalem, of Saguntum, found
their parallels, and often worse than their parallels, in
Christian Germany only two centuries ago. … Of the population
it was found that three-fourths, in some parts a far larger
proportion, had perished … or fled to Switzerland, to Holland,
and to other countries never to return from them again."

"Both Lutherans and Calvinists were declared free from all
jurisdiction of the Pope or any Catholic prelate. Thus the
last link which bound Germany to Rome was snapped, the last of
the principles by virtue of which the Empire had existed was
abandoned. … The Peace of Westphalia was therefore an
abrogation of the sovereignty of Rome, and of the theory of
Church and State with which the name of Rome was associated. …
The Peace of Westphalia is an era in imperial history not less
clearly marked than the Coronation of Otto the Great, or the
death of Frederick II. … Properly, indeed, it was no longer an
Empire at all, but a Confederation, and that of the loosest
sort. … There were 300 petty principalities between the
Alps and the Baltic, each with its own laws, and its own
courts, its little armies, its separate coinage, its tolls and
custom-houses on the frontier, its crowd of meddlesome and
pedantic officials. This vicious system, which paralyzed the
trade, the literature, and the political thought of Germany,
had been forming itself for sometime, but did not become fully
established until the Peace of Westphalia, by emancipating the
princes from imperial control, had made them despots in their
own territories."

"The rapid extension of the monastic institute in Ireland, and
the extraordinary ardour with which the Irish cœnobites
applied themselves to the cultivation of letters, remain
undisputed facts. ‘Within a century after the death of St.
Patrick,’ says Bishop Nicholson, ‘the Irish seminaries had so
increased that most parts of Europe sent their children to be
educated here, and drew thence their bishops and teachers.’
The whole country for miles round Leighlin was denominated the
‘land of Saints and Scholars.’ By the ninth century Armagh
could boast of 7000 students, and the schools of Cashel,
Dindaleathglass, and Lismore vied with it in renown."

"Alfred is the most perfect character in history. … No other
man on record has ever so thoroughly united all the virtues
both of ruler and of the private man. In no other man on
record were so many virtues disfigured by so little alloy. A
saint without superstition, a scholar without ostentation, a
warrior all whose wars were fought in the defense of his
country, a conqueror whose laurels were never stained by
cruelty, a prince never cast down by adversity, never lifted
up to insolence in the day of triumph—there is no other name
in history to compare with his. … The virtue of Alfred, like
the virtue of Washington, consisted in no marvelous displays
of superhuman genius, but in the simple, straight-forward
discharge of the duty of the moment."

"He [Henry II.] was a foreign King who never spoke the English
tongue, who lived and moved for the most part in a foreign
camp, surrounded with a motley host of Brabançons and
hirelings. … It was under the rule of a foreigner such as
this, however, that the races of conquerors and conquered in
England first learnt to feel that they were one. It was by his
power that England, Scotland, and Ireland were brought to some
vague acknowledgment of a common suzerain lord, and the
foundations laid of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland. It was he who abolished feudalism as a system of
government, and left it little more than a system of land
tenure. It was he who defined the relations established
between Church and State, and decreed that in England
churchman as well as baron was to be held under the common
law. … His reforms established the judicial system whose main
outlines have been preserved to our own day. It was through
his ‘Constitutions’ and his ‘Assizes’ that it came to pass
that over all the world the English-speaking races are
governed by English and not by Roman law. It was by his genius
for government that the servants of the royal household became
transformed into Ministers of State. It was he who gave
England a foreign policy which decided our continental
relations for seven hundred years. The impress which the
personality of Henry II. left upon his time meets us wherever
we turn."

… It is the collective people who really form the other high

Charter is the first great public act of the nation, after it
has realized its identity. … The whole of the constitutional

"The discovery of the continent of North America and the first
landing on its east coast were accomplished, not by Sebastian
Cabot, but by his father John, in 1197, under the auspices of
King Henry VII. … The voyage of 1498, also accomplished under
the British flag, was likewise carried out by John Cabot
personally … and the exploration embraced the northeast coast
of the present United States, as far as Florida."
HENRY HARRISSE.
"Under this patent John Cabot, taking with him his son
Sebastian, embarked in quest of new islands and a passage to
Asia by the northwest. On the 24th day of June [1497], almost
fourteen months before Columbus came in sight of the main, and
more than two years before Amerigo Vespucci sailed west of the
Canaries, he discovered the western Continent, probably in the
latitude of about 56°, among the dismal cliffs of Labrador. He
ran along the coast for many leagues, it is said for even 300,
and landed on what he considered to be the territory of the
Grand Cham."

The Reformation in England,

"The Reformation in England was singular amongst the great
religious movements of the sixteenth century. It was the least
heroic of them all—the least swayed by religious passion, or
moulded and governed by spiritual and theological necessities.
From a general point of view, it looks at first little more
than a great political change. The exigencies of royal
passion, and the dubious impulses of statecraft, seem its
moving and really powerful springs. … The lust and avarice of
Henry, the policy of Cromwell, and the vacillations of the
leading clergy, attract prominent notice; but there may be
traced beneath the surface a widespread evangelical fervour
amongst the people, and, above all, a genuine spiritual
earnestness and excitement of thought at the universities.
These higher influences preside at the first birth of the
movement. They are seen in active operation long before the
reforming task was taken up by the Court and the bishops."

"The flame of patriotism never burnt purer; all Englishmen
alike, Romanists, Protestant Episcopalians, and Puritans, were
banded together to resist the invader. Every hamlet was on the
alert for the beacon-signal. … Philip’s preparations had been
commensurate with the grandeur of his scheme. … A vast
armament, named, as if to provoke Nemesis, the ‘Invincible
Armada,’ on which for three years the treasures of the
American mines had been lavished, at length rode the seas,
blessed with Papal benediction and under the patronage of the
Saints. … The 129 vessels were armed with 2430 brass and iron
guns of the best manufacture, and carried 5000 seamen. Parma’s
army amounted to 30,000 men—Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians,
and Walloons; and 19,000 Castilians and Portuguese, with 1000
gentlemen volunteers, were coming to meet him. … The overthrow
of this armament was effected by the navy and the elements. …
More than two-thirds of the expedition perished; and of the
remnant that again viewed the hills of Spain all but a few
hundred returned only to die."

(A. D. 1603):
J. Forster:
Historical Essays,
872 (845).
"His [James’] mother was Marie Stuart, or Mary, Queen of
Scots, born of her marriage with Lord Darnley. He came to the
English throne at a time when the autocratic spirit of the
Tudors, making use of the peculiar circumstances of their
time, had raised the royal power and prerogative to their most
exalted pitch; and he united the two Kingdoms of Scotland and
England under one sovereignty. The noble inheritance fell to a
race who, comprehending not one of the conditions by which
alone it was possible to be retained, profligately misused
until they lost it utterly. … What is called the Great
Rebellion can have no comment so pregnant as that which is
suggested by the character and previous career of the first of
the Stuart Kings."

could be nothing of the nature of mutual contract; that he
could not, even if he would, divest himself of his despotic
authority; and that, in every promise which he made, there was
an implied reservation that such promise might be broken in

H. Hallam:

Full Text of the Petition of Right,
875-876 (848-849).
"Our English Constitution was never made, in the sense in
which the Constitutions of many other countries have been
made. There never was any moment when Englishmen drew out
their political system in the shape of a formal document,
whether as the carrying out of any abstract political theories
or as the imitation of the past or present system of any other
nation. There are indeed certain great political documents,
each of which forms a land mark in our political history.
There is the Great Charter [1215], the Petition of Right
[1628], and the Bill of Rights [1689]. But not one of these
gave itself out as the enactment of anything new. All claimed
to set forth, with new strength, it might be, and with new
clearness, those rights of Englishmen which were already old.
… The life and soul of English law has ever been precedent; we
have always held that whatever our fathers once did their sons
have a right to do again."
E. A. FREEMAN.
"Lord Chatham called these three [Magna Carta, the Petition of
Right, and the Bill of Rights] ‘The Bible of the English
Constitution,’ to which appeal is to be made on every grave
political question."

"These were the men who ultimately decided the war, and
established the Commonwealth. On the field of Marston, Rupert
gave Cromwell the name of Ironside, and from thence this
famous name passed to his troopers. There are two features in
their history which we need to note. They were indeed ‘such
men as had some conscience in their work’; but they were also
much more. They were disciplined and trained soldiers. They
were the only body of ‘regulars ’ on either side. The
instinctive genius of Cromwell from the very first created the
strong nucleus of a regular army, which at last in discipline,
in skill, in valor, reached the highest perfection ever
attained by soldiers either in ancient or modern times."

"As the head of the King rolled on the scaffold the old Feudal
Monarchy expired forever. In January, 1649, a great mark was
set in the course of the national life—the Old Rule behind it,
the New Rule before it. Parliamentary government, the consent
of the Nation, equality of rights, and equity in the law—all
date from this great New Departure. The Stuarts indeed
returned for one generation, but with the sting of the old
monarchy gone, and only to disappear almost without a blow.
The Church of England returned; but not the Church of Laud or
of Charles. The peers returned, but as a meek House of Lords
with their castles razed, their feudal rights and their
political power extinct. It is said that the regicides killed
Charles I. only to make Charles II. King. It is not so. They
killed the old Monarchy; and the restored monarch was by no
means its heir, but a royal Stadtholder or Hereditary
President."

"His [Cromwell’s] wish seems to have been to govern
constitutionally, and to substitute the empire of the laws for
that of the sword. But he soon found that, hated as he was,
both by Royalists and Presbyterians, he could be safe only by
being absolute. … Those soldiers who would not suffer him to
assume the kingly title, stood by him when he ventured on acts
of power as high as any English King has ever attempted. The
government, therefore, though in form a republic, was in truth
a despotism, moderated only by the wisdom, the sobriety, and
the magnanimity of the despot."

was really a bill creating the greatest commercial institution

"According to the tenor and intention of the Act of Settlement
all prior claims of inheritance, save that of the issue of
King William and the Princess Anne, being set aside and
annulled, the Princess Sophia became the source of a new royal
line. The throne of England and Ireland, by virtue of the
paramount will of Parliament, stands entailed upon the heirs
of her body, being protestants. In them the right is as truly
hereditary as it ever was in the Plantagenets or the Tudors.
But they derive it not from those ancient families. The blood
indeed of Cerdic and of the Conqueror flows in the veins of
his present majesty [George IV.]. Our Edwards and Henries
illustrate the almost unrivalled splendor and antiquity of the
house of Brunswick. But they have transmitted no more right to
the allegiance of England than Boniface of Este or Henry the
Lion. That rests wholly on the Act of Settlement, and resolves
itself into the sovereignty of the legislature."

"George I. cared very little for his new Kingdom, and knew
very little about its people or its institutions. … His
expeditions to Hanover threw the management of all domestic
affairs almost without control into the hands of his English
ministers. If the two first Hanoverian Kings had been
Englishmen instead of Germans, if they had been men of talent
and ambition, or even men of strong and commanding will
without much talent, Walpole would never have been able to lay
the foundations of government by the House of Commons and by
Cabinet so firmly that even the obdurate will of George III.
was unable to overthrow it. Happily for the system now
established, circumstances compelled the first two sovereigns
of the Hanoverian line to strike a bargain with the English
Whigs, and it was faithfully kept until the accession of the
third George. The King was to manage the affairs of Hanover,
and the Whigs were to govern England. It was an excellent
bargain for England."

"The words ‘wonderful,’ ‘strange,’ are often applied to great
historical events, and there is no event to which they have
been applied more freely than to our [the English] conquest of
India. But the event was not wonderful in a sense that it is
difficult to discover adequate causes by which it could have
been produced. If we begin by remarking that authority in
India had fallen on the ground through the decay of the Mogul
Empire, that it lay there waiting to be picked up by somebody,
and that all over India in that period adventurers of one kind
or another were founding Empires, it is really not surprising
that a mercantile corporation which had money to pay a
mercenary force should be able to compete with other
adventurers, nor yet that it should outstrip all its
competitors by bringing into the field English military
science and generalship, especially when it was backed over
and over again by the whole power and credit of England and
directed by English statesmen. … England did not, in a strict
sense, conquer India; but certain Englishmen, who happened to
reside in India at the time when the Mogul Empire fell, had a
fortune like that of Hyder Ali or Runjeet Singh and rose to
supreme power there."

J. C. Morison:
Reign of Louis XIV.,

"What the age of Pericles was in the history of the Athenian
Democracy, what the age of the Scipios was in the history of
the Roman Republic, that was the reign of Louis XIV. in the
history of the old monarchy of France. … It is not only the
most conspicuous reign in the history of France—it is the most
conspicuous reign in the History of Monarchy in general. … His
court was an extraordinary creation. He made it the microcosm
of all that was most brilliant and prominent in France. Every
order of merit was invited there and received courteous
welcome. … But Louis XIV.’s reign has better titles than the
adulations of courtiers and the eulogies of wits and poets to
the attention of posterity. It marks one of the most memorable
epochs in the annals of mankind. It stretches across history
like a great mountain range, separating ancient France from
the France of modern times. On the farther slope are
Catholicism and Feudalism in their various stages of splendor
and decay—the France of crusade and chivalry, of St. Louis
and Bayard. On the hither side are free-thought, industry, and
centralization—the France of Voltaire, Turgot, and Condorcet.
When Louis came to the throne, the Thirty Years’ War still
wanted six years of its end, and the heat of theological
strife was at its intensest glow. When he died, the religious
temperature had cooled nearly to the freezing point, and a new
vegetation of science and positive inquiry was overspreading
the world."

"When the reign, which was to crown … the ascendant march of
the French monarchy, had falsified the unbounded hopes which
its commencement had excited; when in the midst of fruitless
victories and continually increasing reverses, the people
beheld progress in all the branches of public economy changed
into distress,—the ruin of the finances, industry, and
agriculture—the exhaustion of all the resources of the
country,—the impoverishment of all classes of the nation, the
dreadful misery of the population, they were seized with a
bitter disappointment of spirit, which took the place of the
enthusiasm of their confidence and love."
A. THIERRY.
"Succeeding generations have remembered only the numerous
victories, Europe defied, France for twenty years
preponderant, and the incomparable splendor of the Court of
Versailles, with its marvels of letters and arts, which have
given to the 17th century the name of the age of Louis XIV. It
is for history to show the price which France has paid for her
King’s vain attempts abroad to rule over Europe, and at home
to enslave the wills and consciences of men. … The weight of
the authority of Louis XIV. had been crushing during his last
years. When the nation felt it lifted, it breathed more
freely; the court and the city burst into disrespectful
demonstrations of joy; the very coffin of the great King was
insulted."

"'I am miserable because too much is taken from me. Too much
is taken from me because not enough is taken from the
privileged. Not only do the privileged force me to pay in
their place, but, again, they previously deduct from my
earnings their ecclesiastical and feudal dues. When, out of my
income of 100 francs, I have parted with 58 francs, or more,
to the collector, I am obliged again to give 14 francs to the
seignior, also more than 14 for tithes, and, out of the
remaining 18 or 19 francs I have additionally to satisfy the
exciseman.' … These, in precise terms, are the vague ideas
beginning to ferment in the popular brain and encountered on
every page of the records of the States-General. … The
privileged wrought their own destruction."
H. A. TAINE.
"In 1791, long before the inauguration of the Reign of Terror,
there were in a population of 650,000 [in Paris], 118,000
paupers. Under the 'ancien regime' the immigrant proletariat
from the country was by the law barred out from all ways of
earning a livelihood except as common day laborers, and the
wages of these were in 1788, on an average, 26 cents for men
and 15 for women, while the price of bread was higher than in
our times. What a gigantic heap of ferment!"

"Before the year ended [1793] the legislators of Paris voted
that there was no God, and destroyed or altered nearly
everything that had any reference to Christianity. … They
decreed that on the 10th of November the ‘Worship of Reason’
should be inaugurated at Notre Dame. A temple dedicated to
‘Philosophy’ was erected on a platform in the middle of the
choir. A motley procession of citizens of both sexes, headed
by the constituted authorities, advanced towards it; on their
approach, the Goddess of Reason, impersonated by a well known
figurante of the opera, took her seat upon a grassy throne in
front of the temple; a hymn, composed in her honor by the poet
Chenier, was sung by a body of young girls dressed in white
and bedecked with flowers; and the multitude bowed the knee
before her in profound adoration. It was the ‘abomination of
desolation sitting in the holy place.’ … The example set by
Paris, was faithfully repeated, if not surpassed in atrocity,
throughout the provinces. Religion was proscribed, churches
closed, Christian ordinances interdicted; the dreary gloom of
atheistical despotism overspread the land."

"It is estimated that, in the eleven western departments, the

Considering the programme and principles of the Jacobin sect,
this is no great number; they might have killed a good many
more. But time was wanting; during their short reign they did

"The plan of this covert intercourse came through the private
Secretary of M. de Talleyrand, then French Minister for
Foreign Affairs; and the impudence of these three letters of
the alphabet went so far as to propose" a bribe of 1,200,000
francs. ‘You must pay money, a great deal of money,’ remarked
Monsieur Y. The secret of these names was kept, but the
diplomatic correspondence was made public, and created much
wrath in Europe, as well as in America. … At last the insults
passed beyond bearing, and it was at this time that ‘millions
for defense, not one cent for tribute,’ first became a
proverbial phrase, having been originally used by Charles C.
Pinckney."

"The significance of the Peace of Luneville lay in this, not
only that it was the close of the earlier revolutionary
struggle in Europe; … but that it marked the concentration of
all her energies in a struggle with Britain for the supremacy
of the world. … The country [Britain] stood utterly alone
while the Peace of Luneville secured France from all hostility
on the Continent. … To strike at England’s wealth had been
among the projects of the Directory; it was now the dream of
the First Consul. … Her carrying trade must be annihilated if
he closed every port against her ships. It was this gigantic
project of a 'Continental System' that revealed itself as soon
as Buonaparte became master of France."

the Emperor Napoleon, faithful to his oath, declares that he
is ready to descend from the throne, to quit France, and even
to relinquish life, for the good of the country, which is
inseparable from the rights of his son, from those of the
regency in the person of the Empress, and from the maintenance

"Full credit has been awarded the Roundhead and the Cavalier
for their leadership in our history; nor have we been
altogether blind to the deeds of the Hollander and the
Huguenot; but it is doubtful if we have wholly realized the
importance of the part played by that stern and virile people,
the Irish whose preachers taught the creed of Knox and Calvin.
These Irish representatives of the Covenanters were in the
West almost what the Puritans were in the Northeast, and more
than the Cavaliers were in the South. … That these Irish
Presbyterians were a bold and hardy race is proved by their at
once pushing past the settled regions, and plunging into the
wilderness as the leaders of the white advance. … They were
fitted to be Americans from the very start; they were kinsfolk
of the Covenanters; they deemed it a religious duty to
interpret their own Bible, and held for a divine right the
election of their clergy. For generations, their whole
ecclesiastic and scholastic systems had been fundamentally
democratic."

"Historians, in treating of the American rebellion, have
confined their arguments too exclusively to the question of
internal taxation, and the right or policy of exercising this
prerogative. The true source of the rebellion lay deeper, in
our traditional colonial policy. Just as the Spaniards had
been excited to the discovery of America by the hope of

obtaining gold and silver, the English merchants utilized the
discovery by the same fallacious method, and with the same
fallacious aspirations. … They only saw that a colonial trade
had sprung up, and their jealousy blinded them to the benefits
that accrued to themselves as a consequence of it. Their folly
found them out. … The result of the whole transaction was the
birth of a very strong sense in the minds of the colonists
that the mother country looked upon them as a sponge to be
squeezed. This conviction took more than a passing hold upon
them. It was speedily inflamed into inextinguishable heat,
first by the news that they were to be taxed without their own
consent, and next by the tyrannical and atrocious measures by
which it was proposed to crush their resistance."
JOHN MORLEY.

"It was in the midst of this magnificent debate, while he
[Patrick Henry] was descanting on the tyranny of the obnoxious
act, that he exclaimed in a voice of thunder, and with the
look of a god: ‘Caesar had his Brutus—Charles the First his
Cromwell—and George the Third—("Treason!" cried the speaker.
"Treason, treason!" echoed from every part of the house. It
was one of those trying moments that is decisive of character.
Henry faltered not for an instant; but rising to a loftier
attitude, and fixing on the speaker an eye of the most
determined fire, he finished his sentence with the firmest
emphasis)—may profit by their example. If this be treason,
make the most of it.’"

"Allen sought and found the Commander’s bed-room, and when
Captain Delaplace waked he … opened the door, with trousers in
hand, and there the great gaunt Ethan stood, with a drawn
sword in his hand. ‘Surrender!’ said Ethan. ‘To you?’ asked
Delaplace. ‘Yes, to me, Ethan Allen.’ ‘By whose authority?’
asked Delaplace. Ethan was growing impatient, and raising his
voice, and waving his sword, he said: ‘In the name of the
Great Jehovah, and of the Continental Congress.’ Delaplace
little comprehended the words, but surrendered at once. Thus,
on the morning of 10th of May, the strong fortress of
Ticonderoga was taken by the border-men, and with it 44
prisoners, 120 iron cannon, with swivels, muskets, balls, and
some powder, without the loss of a single man. The surprise
was planned and paid for by Connecticut, and was led by Allen,
a Connecticut-born man, but was carried out by the ‘Green
Mountain Boys.’"

Its issues had put specie entirely out of reach, and the cause
of the Revolution was in danger of being drowned under the
paper sea. … In the spring or 1780 the bills were worth two
cents on the dollar, and then ceased to circulate. The paper
was now worth more for an advertisement or a joke than for any
prospect of any kind of redemption. A barber’s shop in
Philadelphia was papered with it; and a dog, coated with tar,
and with the bills stuck all over him, was paraded in the
streets."

"It [the Supreme Court] is, I believe, the only national
tribunal in the world which can sit in judgment on a national
law, and can declare an act of all the three powers of the
Union to be null and void. No such power does or can exist in
England. Any one of the three powers of the State,—King,
Lords, or Commons,—acting alone, may act illegally, the three
acting together cannot act illegally. An act of Parliament is
final; it may be repealed by the power which enacted it; it
cannot be questioned by any other power. For in England there
is no written constitution; the powers of Parliament,—of King,
Lords, and Commons, acting together,—are literally boundless.
But in your Union, it is not only possible that President,
Senate, or House of Representatives, acting alone, may act
illegally; the three acting together may act illegally. …
Congress may pass, the President may assent to a measure which
contradicts the terms of the Constitution. If they so act,
they act illegally, and the Supreme Court can declare such an
act to be null and void. This difference flows directly from
the difference between a written and unwritten constitution."

"In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old
and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the
strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will
control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our
nation from running the course which has hitherto marked the
destiny of nations. But if I may even flatter myself that they
may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional
good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of
party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign
intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended
patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the
solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated.
… Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I
am unconscious of intentional error, I am, nevertheless, too
sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may
have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently
beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which
they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my
Country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and
that after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its
service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent
abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon
be to the mansions of rest."

Constitution, was perfectly legitimate. … But the Federalists
in general took narrow and partisan views, and in order to
embarrass the administration resorted to quibbles which were
altogether unworthy the party which had boasted of Washington
as its chief and Hamilton as the exponent of its doctrines. …
The Federal leaders did not stop at cavils; they insisted that
the unconstitutional extension of territory was in effect a
dissolution of the Union, so that they were at liberty to
contemplate and plan for a final disruption."

"Monroe like Washington was re-chosen President by a vote
practically unanimous. One, however, of the 232 electoral
votes cast was wanting to consummate this exceptional honor;
for a New Hampshire elector, with a boldness of discretion
which, in our days and especially upon a close canvass, would
have condemned him to infamy, threw away upon John Quincy
Adams the vote which belonged like those of his colleagues to
Monroe, determined, so it is said, that no later mortal should
stand in Washington’s shoes. Of America’s Presidents elected
by virtual acclamation history furnishes but these two
examples; and as between the men honored by so unapproachable
a tribute of confidence, Monroe entered upon his second term
of office with less of real political opposition than
Washington."

"The ‘Liberator’ was a weekly journal, bearing the names of
William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp as publishers. Its
motto was, ‘Our Country is the world, Our Countrymen are
Mankind,’ a direct challenge to those whose motto was the
Jingo cry of those days, ‘Our Country, right or wrong!’ … The
salutatory of the ‘Liberator’ avowed that its editor meant to
speak out without restraint. ‘I will be as harsh as truth and
as uncompromising as justice. On this subject [Slavery] I do
not wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. No! No!
Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm;
tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the
ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from
the fire into which it as fallen—but urge me not to use
moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest—I will
not equivocate—I will not excuse—I will not retreat a single
inch—I will be heard.’ This promise was amply kept."

"When Seward came to the territorial question, his words
created a sensation. ‘We hold,’ he said, ‘no arbitrary
authority over anything, whether acquired lawfully or seized
by usurpation. The Constitution regulates our stewardship; the
Constitution devotes the domain (i. e. the territories not
formed into States) to union, to justice, to defense, to
welfare, and to liberty. But there is a higher law than the
Constitution, which regulates our authority over the
domain, and devotes it to the same noble purposes. The
territory is a part, no inconsiderable part, of the common
heritage of mankind, bestowed upon them by the Creator of the
Universe. We are His stewards, and must so discharge our trust
as to secure in the highest attainable degree their
happiness.’ This remark about ‘a higher law’ … was destined to
have a transcendent moral influence. A speech which can be
condensed into an aphorism is sure to shape convictions."

[The treatment of this subject in Volumes VI. and VII. of
History for Ready Reference covers sixty-five of its large
double-column pages (456-517 in Volume 6 and 620-624 in Volume
7), and is the most complete statement of all the causes that
led up to that conflict that can be found in any work. The
scope of these Studies does not admit of a detailed analysis
of this material, nor is such an analysis necessary; as all
the despatches, State papers, and descriptive matter are
arranged in such an orderly manner, under the general head of
"South Africa," that one needs no aid in studying the
subject.]

"The simple dignity, befitting a Monarch of this realm, in
that she could never fail, because it arose from her inherent
sense of the fitness of things. It was no trapping put on for
office, and therefore it was that this dignity, this Queenly
dignity, only served to throw into a brighter light those
admirable virtues of the wife, the mother, and the woman, with
which she was so richly endowed."
A. J. BALFOUR, Leader of the House of Commons.
"But have you realized what the personal weight of the late
Queen was in the councils of the world? She was by far the
senior of all the European Sovereigns. The German Emperor was
her grandson by birth. The Emperor of Russia was her grandson
by marriage. She had reigned eleven years when the Emperor of
Austria came to his throne. She had seen two dynasties pass
from the throne of France. She had seen, as Queen, three
Monarchs of Spain, and four Sovereigns of the House of Savoy
in Italy. … Can we not realize, then, what a force the
personal influence of such a Sovereign was in the troubled
councils of Europe? And when, as we know, that influence was
always given for peace, for freedom, and for good government,
we feel that not merely ourselves but all the world has lost
one of its best friends."
LORD ROSEBERY.

"It is a fact, the great self-assertion of individuality among
us makes constitutional government very hard in Prussia. … We
are perhaps too ‘cultured’ to tolerate a constitution; we are
too critical; the ability to pass judgment on measures of the
government or acts of the legislature is too universal; there
is a large number of ‘Catilinarian Characters’ in the land
whose chief interest is in revolutions. People are too
sensitive about the faults of government. … Our blood is too
hot, we are fond of wearing an armor too large for our small
body; now let us utilize it. … Prussia must consolidate its
might and hold it together for the favorable moment, which has
been allowed to pass unheeded several times. Prussia’s
boundaries, as determined by the Congress of Vienna, are not
conducive to its wholesome existence as a sovereign state. Not
by speeches and resolutions of majorities the mighty problems
of the age are solved—that was the mistake of 1848 and
1849—but by Blood and Iron."

"There is therefore great importance for the German Empire in
the character that is given to our diplomatic relations with
the head of the Roman Church, wielding, as he does, an
influence in this country unusually extensive for a foreign
potentate. I scarcely believe, considering the spirit dominant
at present in the leading circles of the Catholic Church, that
any Ambassador of the German Empire could succeed … by
persuasion in exerting an influence to bring about a
modification of the position assumed by His Holiness the Pope
toward things secular. The dogmas of the Catholic Church
recently announced and publicly promulgated make it impossible
for any secular power to come to an understanding with the
Church without its own effacement, which the German Empire, at
least, cannot accept. Have no fear; we shall not go to
Canossa, either in body or in spirit."

only one enemy, and that is my enemy. With the present
socialist agitation, I may order you—which God forbid!—to
shoot down your brothers, and even your parents, and then you
must obey me without a murmur."
THE EMPEROR, TO THE FOOT GUARDS.
"Even the word 'opposition' has reached my ears. Gentlemen, an
Opposition of Prussian noblemen, directed against their King,
is a monstrosity. … I, in my turn, like my imperial
grandfather, hold my Kingship as by the grace of God. … To
you, gentlemen, I address my summons to the fight for
religion, morality, and order against the parties of
revolution. Even as the ivy winds round the gnarled oak, and,
while adorning it with its leaves, protects it when storms are
raging through its topmost branches, so does the nobility of
Prussia close round my house. May it, and with it, the whole
nobility of the German nation, become a brilliant example to
those sections of the people who still hesitate. Let us enter
into this struggle together. Forward with God, and dishonor to
him who deserts his King."

"It is but nine months since this Iliad of the blacks, as an
English reviewer calls 'Uncle Tom,' made its appearance among
books, and already its sale has exceeded a million of copies;
author and publisher have made fortunes out of it, and Mrs.
Stowe, who was before unknown, is as familiar a name in all
parts of the civilized world as that of Homer or Shakespeare.
… The book was published on the 20th of last March … and the
publishers have paid to the author $20,300 as her share of the
profits on the actual cash sales for the first nine months.
But it is in England where Uncle Tom has made his deepest
mark. … We know of twenty rival editions in England and
Scotland, and that millions of copies have been produced. …
Uncle Tom was not long in making his way across the British
Channel, and four rival editions are claiming the attention of
the Parisians, one under the title of ‘le Père Tom,’ and
another ‘la Case de l’Oncle Tom.’"
C. F. BRIGGS, IN PUTNAM'S MAGAZINE, JANUARY, 1853.

waiting his death … he writes, 'My health improves slowly, and
I am quite cheerful concerning my approaching end, since I am
convinced that I am worth infinitely more on the gallows than
I could be anywhere else.' … One year after the execution of
Brown, on the 20th of December, 1860, South Carolina declared
its secession from the Union, and on May 11, 1861, the Second
Massachusetts Regiment of Infantry was raised, which was first
to sing on its march South,—'John Brown’s body lies

standard historical works, of nearly 600 pages. The plan of
these Studies will not admit of a detailed analysis of all
this material, so that only the most significant, or pivotal
topics will be treated. The development of the history is so
clearly presented in Volume V. that a guide is hardly needed
if one wishes to study the subject as a whole; while each
individual topic may readily be found in the usual manner.)

"No battle was ever more widely discussed or produced a
greater sensation. It revolutionized the navies of the world.
… In this battle old things passed away, and the experience Of
a thousand years was forgotten. The effect of the news was
best described by the London ‘Times,’ which said: ‘ Whereas we
had available for immediate purposes 149 first class war
ships, we have now two, these two being the Warrior and
her sister Ironside. There is not now a ship in the
English navy apart from these two that it would not be madness
to trust to an engagement with that little Monitor.’ The
Admiralty at once proceeded to reconstruct the navy."

Political Recollections,

"I spent most of the afternoon [on the day of Johnson’s
inauguration] in a political caucus, held for the purpose of
considering the necessity for a new Cabinet, and a line of
policy less conciliatory than that of Mr. Lincoln; and while
everybody was shocked at his murder, the feeling was nearly
universal that the accession of Johnson to the Presidency
would prove a godsend to the country. Aside from Mr. Lincoln’s
known policy of tenderness to the Rebels, which now so jarred
upon the feelings of the hour, his well-known views on the
subject of reconstruction were as distasteful as possible to
radical Republicans."

the great industrial and commercial combinations, which began
at about the beginning of the present century to cause serious
anxiety in the country, is related quite fully, from the
report of the United States Industrial Commission created by
Congress in 1898, and from other sources. In Volume VII.,
under the two headings of "Combinations, Industrial and
Commercial" (pages 116-135), and "Railways" (pages 547-558),
an extended history of the vigorous proceedings of Government,
between 1900 and 1910, to restrain wrong uses of the power

prosecution and judicial decision, are too numerous to be

"The Federal Constitution of the Dominion of Canada is
contained in the British North America Act, 1867, a statute of
the British Parliament (30 Vict., c. 3). … The Federal, or
Dominion Government, is conducted on the so-called ‘Cabinet
system’ of England, i. e., the Ministry sit in Parliament, and
hold office at the pleasure of the House of Commons. … The
distribution of matters within the competence of the Dominion
Parliament and of the Provincial legislatures respectively,
bears a general resemblance to that existing in the United
States; but there is this remarkable distinction, that whereas
in the United States, Congress has only the powers actually
granted to it, the State legislatures retaining all such
powers as have not been taken from them, the Dominion
Parliament has a general power of legislation, restricted only
by the grant of certain specific and exclusive powers to the
Provincial legislatures. … The Constitution of the Dominion
was never submitted to popular vote, and can be altered only
by the British Parliament, except as regards certain points
left to its own legislature. There exists no power of amending
the provincial Constitutions by popular vote similar to that
which the peoples of the several States exercise in the United
States."
