Nineteenth Century Europe and Britain (Classic Reprint) by Raymond Beazley Pdf
Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Europe and Britain In the opening paragraphs of the book itself I have summarized certain conclusions and suggestions which have helped to guide me. Instead of inserting geographical sketches and plans, necessarily rather meagre on a small page, I would refer readers to the more excellent way of consulting such a handy, scholarly, inexpensive, and altogether admirable map-collection as Robertson and Bartholomew's Historical Atlas of M odem Europe, 1789-1914 (oxford.

The Later Nineteenth Century (Classic Reprint) by George Saintsbury Pdf
Excerpt from The Later Nineteenth Century IN arranging the last volume Of this History of European Literature, it may not be improper to supply that part of a possible general preface which, for more reasons than one, could not be given in the first as it actually appeared. I have seen, during the earlier course of the publication, remarks - per haps natural, if not entirely reasonable - expressing dissatisfaction with the irregular order of the appear ance of the volumes, and the jagged outline - as of tallies with one-half wanting - which was in some cases presented. A little thought might, I think, have shown the critics that this, if not unavoidable, was by far the least of two or more evils; and a slight sketch Of the history Of the undertaking may make it clearer.

The Story of the People of England in the Nineteenth Century, 1832-1898, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by Justin McCarthy Pdf
Excerpt from The Story of the People of England in the Nineteenth Century, 1832-1898, Vol. 2 It is not necessary here to go into the question whether or not the death penalty ought or ought not to be abolished altogether. It is so abolished in some countries of Europe and in some States Of the American Republic; and the argument is still going on as to the effect Of abolition on the increase or the decrease Of crime. It is perfectly certain that while the death penalty was enacted for all manner Of minor Offences the Offences did not decrease in number. How far the teaching of this evidence may be practically pushed, and whether the death penalty has in any cases the eect of diminishing the general average Of crime, is a question which to this day occupies the serious attention Of philan thropists and law reformers everywhere.

The Convents of Great Britain (Classic Reprint) by Francesca M. Steele Pdf
Excerpt from The Convents of Great Britain IF the question were to be asked what is the most striking feature of the religious history of the nineteenth century, I think I should be tempted to answer that nothing in the last hundred years has been more remarkable and on the whole more far-reaching in its effects than the incredible growth and multiplication of congregations of religious women. Over a great part of Europe, which Protestantism had spared, the French Revolution and the wars of Napoleon swept like a flame. Behind them was left, religiously speak ing, nothing but ruin and desolation. Only here and there in sheltered nooks and corners a green spot was to be found upon which the eye could rest with pleasure; but for the most part the very promise of the future seemed to have been withered to the roots. A few years passed, peace was restored, and 10! On every side the land was verdant again With a hardy and luxuriant growth.

British Foreign Policy in Europe by H. E. Egerton Pdf
Excerpt from British Foreign Policy in Europe: To the End of the 19th Century; A Rough Outline The only begetter of this volume was Mr. Philip Kerr of The Round Table, who, in conversation, suggested to me that there was room for a book which, by dealing with British foreign policy apart from a narrative of events, should endeavour, with out undue length, to put forward the views of past British statesmen. Unfortunately Mr. Kerr has been too busy for me to consult him during the pro gress of my work, so that I cannot say how far it fulfils the idea that was in his mind.

The Industrial and Commercial Revolutions in Great Britain During the Nineteenth Century (Classic Reprint) by Lilian Charlotte Anne Knowles Pdf
Excerpt from The Industrial and Commercial Revolutions in Great Britain During the Nineteenth Century A new conception of personal liberty emerged and the mass Of the population of Europe became free in the nineteenth century as it had never been free before. Governments had to face new classes and new problems and a new conception Of national policy also emerged. The new methods Of manu facture and transport created new demands for raw materials and food, new areas were opened up, new wants created and new markets developed, so that by the end Of the period the whole globe was knit up in a world economy Of world inter dependence and exchange and world rivalry. The onl) century that can compare with the nineteenth for the rapidity and fundamental nature of its changes is the sixteenth. In this latter century the enormous importance of the discovery of the sea route to India and the two Americas became evident in new trade routes new commercial and colonial rivalries, new struggles among nations, a new mer chant class and a considerable acceleration of the growth of capital with all that it implied in the reorganisation of indus trial and agricultural life. The linking up of Europe with the Indies and the New World was followed by the revolution in economic thought brought about by the Reformation and the substitution of the royal and secular governments for the Church as the directing power in economic life. Of the five countries that may be styled Great Powers in the nineteenth century, viz., England, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, ' only the first two counted as important economic entities in the sixteenth century.

Nineteenth Century Europe and Britain by Raymond Beazley Pdf
Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Europe and Britain In this volume I have tried to give some results of independent work, and of University teaching, during the past ten years. Perhaps no period quite equals the Nineteenth Century as a 'torch to light us forwards as well as backwards,' and if we had followed that light more closely, the civilized world might have been less 'forwandred' to-day. In the opening paragraphs of the book itself I have summarized certain conclusions and suggestions which have helped to guide me. Instead of inserting geographical sketches and plans, necessarily rather meagre on a small page, I would refer readers to the more excellent way of consulting such a handy, scholarly, inexpensive, and altogether admirable map-collection as Robertson and Bartholomew's Historical Atlas of Modern Europe, 1789-1914 (Oxford, 1915). The Additional Notes on civilization- or culture-history, at certain epochs (e.g. 1812-15; 1870-71), only attempt to deal with a select number of outstanding and representative years. Even a slight survey of this field, as a whole, throughout the time here considered (1812-1918), was out of the question, much as I could have wished otherwise. And, in particular, I thought it best not to try anything on this side after the Franco-German War (1870-71). But I hope what has been tried may be of use.

A History of English Romanticism in the Nineteenth Century (Classic Reprint) by Henry A. Beers Pdf
Excerpt from A History of English Romanticism in the Nineteenth Century The present volume is a sequel to "A History of English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century" (New York: Henry Holt & Co., 1899). References in the footnotes to "Volume I." are to that work. The difficulties of this second part of my undertaking have been of a kind just opposite to those of the first. As it concerns my subject, the eighteenth century was an age of beginnings; and the problem was to discover what latent romanticism existed in the writings of a period whose spirit, upon the whole, was distinctly unromantic. But the temper of the nineteenth century has been, until recent years, prevailingly romantic in the wider meaning of the word. And as to the more restricted sense in which I have chosen to employ it, the mediaevalising literature of the nineteenth century is at least twenty times as great as that of the eighteenth, both in bulk and in value. Accordingly the problem here is one of selection; and of selection not from a list of half-forgotten names, like Warton and Hurd, but from authors whose work is still the daily reading of all educated readers. As I had anticipated, objection has been made to the narrowness of my definition of romanticism. But every writer has a right to make his own definitions; or, at least, to say what his book shall be about.

The Origins and Destiny of Imperial Britain Nineteenth Century Europe by J. A. (John Adam) Cramb Pdf
The Origins and Destiny of Imperial Britain Nineteenth Century Europe by J. A. (John Adam) Cramb The present age has rewritten the annals of the world, and set its own impress on the traditions of humanity. In no period has the burden of the past weighed so heavily upon the present, or the interpretation of its speculative import troubled the heart so profoundly, so intimately, so monotonously. How remote we stand from the times when Raleigh could sit down in the Tower, and with less anxiety about his documents, State records, or stone monuments than would now be imperative in compiling the history of a county, proceed to write the History of the World! And in speculation it is the Tale, the fabula, the procession of impressive incidents and personages, which enthralls him, and with perfect fitness he closes his work with the noblest Invocation to Death that literature possesses. But beneath the variety or pathos of the Tale the present age ever apprehends a deeper meaning, or is oppressed by a sense of mystery, of wonder, or of sorrow unrevealed, which defies tears. This revolution in our conception of History, this boundless industry which in Germany, France, England, Italy, has led to the printing of mountains of forgotten memoirs, correspondences, State papers, this endless sifting of evidence, this treasuring above riches of the slight results slowly and patiently drawn, is neither accident, nor transient caprice, nor antiquarian frenzy, but a phase of the guiding impulse, the supreme instinct of this age-the ardour to know all, to experience all, to be all, to suffer all, in a word, to know the Truth of things-if haply there come with it immortal life, even if there come with it silence and utter death. The deepened significance of history springs thus from the deepened significance of life, and the passion of our interest in the past from the passion of our interest in the present. The half-effaced image on a coin, the illuminated margin of a mediaeval manuscript, the smile on a fading picture-if these have become, as it were, fountains of unstable reveries, perpetuating the Wonder which is greater than Knowledge, it is a power from the present that invests them with this magic. Life has become more self-conscious; not of the narrow self merely, but of that deeper Self, the mystic Presence which works behind the veil.

A History of Nineteenth Century Literature by George Saintsbury Pdf
Excerpt from A History of Nineteenth Century Literature: 1780-1895 IN the execution of the present task (which I took over about two years ago from hands worthier than mine, but then more occupied) some difficulties of necessity occurred which did not present themselves to myself when I undertook the volume of Elizabethan Literature, or to my immediate predecessor in grappling with the period between 1660 and 1780.
