Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Protestant Reformation, in Germany and Switzerland, Vol. 1 of 2 In this volume I have endeavored to trace the history of the Protestant Reformation in the principal European countries outside of Germany and Switzerland. As, among these, England and its dependencies possess most interest for the American or English reader, more space in proportion has been devoted to the history of the Anglican Schism than to that of any other European country. Besides an Introduction, in which the religious history of England preliminary to the Reformation is discussed, four chapters are devoted to the English Reformation, besides separate chapters on the Reformation in Scotland and Ireland. The statements of the great English historian, Lingard, are shown to be substantially confirmed by Hallam, Macaulay, Bishop Short, Sir James Mackintosh, Agnes Strickland, and other accredited Protestant historians; and, unless I am greatly mistaken, it will be seen from the comparison of authorities, that not one important fact alleged by Lingard has ever been successfully controverted, even by the most determined opponents of the Catholic Church. The excellent Miss Strickland, in her Lives of the English and Scottish Queens, has incidentally thrown much additional light on what may be called the internal history of the Anglican and Scottish Reformation. Though a decided Protestant, she has done justice to the memory of Mary of England and of Mary of Scotland; and also, in another sense, to Queen Elizabeth and John Knox. Availing herself with much industry and fidelity of her ample opportunities for investigation, she has published several new documents from the English State Paper Office; and, what is still better and more commendable, she has dared tell a considerable portion of the truth, in spite of fashionable obloquy and stereotype misrepresentation. She has drawn, what might be called a Daguerreotype likeness of John Knox in his relations with Mary Stuart, whom the Scottish reformer fiercely hunted to death in the name of the religion of love!
