Sovereigns and Statesmen of Europe (Classic Reprint) by Princess Catherine Radziwill Pdf

Excerpt from Sovereigns and Statesmen of Europe One has only to remember that the greatest war the world has ever seen was brought about by the will of ruling monarchs, and to observe how sovereigns personally have been leading their peoples in the crises that have arisen since Germany threw the gauntlet in the face of the civilised world, to become convinced of the falsity of such a straining after epigram.

The Sovereigns and Courts of Europe (Classic Reprint) by Politikos Politikos Pdf

Excerpt from The Sovereigns and Courts of Europe Istory has ceased to be written in the names of kings and princes. Historians have learnt to recognize that it is the people who make history; that the narrative of the world's progress must consist of the story of the march of the nations, not of the biography of one individual, even though that individual be the leader of the same people. Unless the leader be followed, he leadeth in 'vain, and however tyrannical and oppressive the rule of a monarch, experience has proved that the victory rests with 'the majority, even though that victory be slow and delayed. That every people has the government it deserves is a dictum most emphatically true. The new historical method, there fore, strives to present the thoughts, aspirations, and deeds of the nations, and only that portion of the rulers' lives and characters which re ect and in uence these. Every era has its prominent men, who, with the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

French History from Caesar to Waterloo by Mary Robinson Pdf

When Julius Caesar invaded the country, some fifty years before the birth of Christ, he found it divided into three principal parts: there was Aquitaine, the land of springs and waters, extending, in the southwest, from the ocean to the Garonne, already a land of pleasant life, rich in commerce and refinement; there was Celtic Gaul, the west, which reached from the Atlantic to the Marne and the Seine; and there was Belgian Gaul (as Caesar calls it), that north-eastern space between the Seine and the Rhine: an expanse which roughly corresponds to the provinces devastated by the Great War...

The European Commonwealth by J. A. R. Marriott Pdf

Excerpt from The European Commonwealth: Problems Historical and Diplomatic The essays contained in this volume represent a selection from a much larger number contributed to quarterly and monthly Reviews during the last four years. They have been selected because, though not originally designed as steps in a coherent argument, they seem to possess a certain measure of unity and consistency. With one exception all have been written.since the outbreak of the war, and the single excep tion (chapter III) stands in at least as close a relation to recent events as the rest. Suggested though they were by successive aspects of the great struggle in which Europe and the world have been involved, the essays are the fruit of studies which have claimed a large portion of my time during the last thirty years.

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 Ne sulor ultra crepidam is a wise maxim, to which the progress of time gives increasing authority. It may seem, then, to savour of presumption that one, whose work has been mainly concerned with colonial and imperial history, should embark upon the difficult waters of European politics. But, on the other hand, it must be remembered that, up to the present time, colonial and imperial history cannot be understood without reference to the European system from which it took its rise, just as a knowledge of a particular limb is impossible without some study of the body as a whole. '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#4 which, by dealing with British foreign policy apart from a narrative of events, should endeavour, without 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 progress of my work, so that I cannot say how far it fulfils the idea that was in his mind.

The Statesman, Or Principles of Legislation and Law (Classic Reprint) by John Holmes,Senior Research Fellow John Holmes, Dr Pdf

Excerpt from The Statesman, or Principles of Legislation and Law But this inquiry is, perhaps, for us, more speculative than profitable. The jurisdictional and territorial rights or claims of the native Indians were scarcely distinguishable from each other. Both were in the tribe or community, and individual possessions in lands were scarcely known. As the life of the Indian is ambulatory, his occupation of the land was transient and for temporary purposes, and common to others with him self. The treaties of cession by the chiefs or head men, with the consent of the tribe, and the charters of the European dis coverers, ceding the territory and jurisdiction to the colony and prescribing the rules of individual right - have so perfected the titles in Maine, that we have very little reason to discuss their origin. By a recurrence to the origin of our political institutions, we are struck with the singular fact that nearly all the charters which form the basis of our liberties emanated from the three first sovereigns of the House of Stuart - a family not much distinguished for their respect for popular rights.

Thoughts and Opinions of a Statesman (Classic Reprint) by Wilhelm Humboldt Pdf

Excerpt from Thoughts and Opinions of a Statesman Known in Europe to require that we should give any very detailed account of the writer, from whose letters to a friend the following extracts are taken. Wilhelm Von Humboldt, besides the fame which he has justly acquired as an oriental scholar, was employed largely by his monarch in diplomatic affairs: amongst the rest, he appeared as the envoy of Prussia at the Con gress of Vienna. A lady whom he had formerly known, whose fortune had suffered much from the events of the war of liberation, was induced on this occasion to apply to him for assistance in recovering her rights from the sovereigns there represented. His efforts were unsuccessful, but he endeavoured to alleviate her disappointment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
