Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 1 of 2: Under the Duke of Buckingham and Charles I. 1624-1628 The present volumes are intended to form, together with the ´History of England from the accession of James I. to the disgrace of Chief Justice Coke,´ and ´Prince Charles and the Spanish Marriage,´ a connected history which now extends from the death of Elizabeth in 1603 to the assassination of Buckingham in 1628. I believe that much is gained for the understanding of the events of which I am now treating by telling the story of the last year of James´s reign in close connection with the first years of his son. To make the division at the accession of Charles is to separate effect from cause, and to account for the reaping of the whirlwind without taking into consideration the sowing of the wind. The five years, too, which followed the return of Charles from Madrid stand apart from those before and after them as a war period; for if peace with France and Spain was not at once concluded when Rochelle was taken, hostilities practically came to an end when Lindsey´s fleet returned from the French coast without accomplishing anything. These years of war bear specially the impress of Buckingham´s activity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
