Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Historical View of the English Government: From the Settlement of the Saxons in Britain to the Accession, of the House of Stewart The great series of events in the history of England may be divided into three parts: the first, extending from the settlement of the Saxons in Britain to the Norman conquest; the second, from the reign of William the Conqueror to the accession of the house of Stewart; the third, from the reign of James the First to the present time. The important changes exhibited in the state of the country, and in the situation of its inhabitants, appear, like a fort of natural boundaries, to mark out these different periods, and to recommend them as objects of distinct and separate examination. The first period contains the conquest of England by the northern barbarians, the division of the country under the different chiefs by whom that people were conducted, the subsequent union of those principalities under one sovereign, and the course of public transactions under the Saxon and Danish monarchs. The reign of William the Conqueror, while it put an end to the ancient line of kings, introduced into England a multitude of foreigners, who obtained extensive landed possessions, and spread with great rapidity the manners and customs of a nation more civilized and improved than the English. The inhabitants were thus excited to a quicker advancement in the common arts of life, at the fame time that the nation, by acquiring continental connections, was involved in more extensive military operations.
