Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Beginnings of English Overseas Enterprise a Prelude to the Empire This book is intended to give an account, from standard sources, of the earliest English associations, in connexion with trade beyond the seas, principally of the Merchant Adventurers of England, whose importance seems to me to have been strangely minimized or ignored in most text-books of English or British history. Much of the book is concerned with times later than the Middle Ages, my object being to try to illustrate the continuity of English history and the cardinal fact that the British Empire is the result of growth. A large number of notes and references have been included, in the hope of saving some time and trouble to students, of what I have found to be a most difficult and laborious subject. I am indebted to Miss K. M. Eliot for help in connexion with Henry the Fourth´s Charter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
