Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures on History, Vol. 1 of 3: Second and Concluding Series, on the French Revolution The two following Lectures were originally delivered immediately after the Lectures on the Revolution of 1668. 1810. We have been now long engaged in the history of England, which it was impossible to leave, while the civil and at last the religious liberties of the country were at issue. But we may at length turn to the continent, and inquire what had been in the mean time the history of France. We are supposed to have left the French history at the death of Henry IV. The monarchy of France grew up from small beginnings, from the constant accession of one province after another, to the central province, of which Paris was the capital; in this manner it swelled out at last into that great kingdom, which of all others has had the most influence on the affairs of Europe. Of this monarchy it was Henry IV. that must be considered as amongst the most distinguished founders; it was he who combined and compressed its discordant parts into a whole; who first harmonised to a sufficient degree its jarring civil and religious interests by the mildness of his counsels and the vigour of his administration.
