Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Henry the Fourth, Vol. 1: King of France and Navarre The name, the character, and the general history of Henry the Fourth of France are so well known to all readers, that very few words of introduction may be necessary to the following work. That part of his life, with the details of which the world is, I believe, most fully acquainted, is the portion which succeeded to his accession to the throne. Occupying a prominent position in Europe, affecting the interests and even the fate of neighboring states, alternately the object of anxiety, of dread, and of expectation to other rulers, his actions were then observed and recorded, and his failings and virtues were equally open to the censure or admiration of his fellow-riven. The preceding period is naturally more obscure, from the comparative insignificance of his position, though the events in which he took an active part convulsed his native land and vibrated through all Europe. Scattered anecdotes of his boyhood and youth, detached scenes of his more mature years, and a weak connecting chain afforded by historians, who have often sacrificed accuracy to theory, and committed several errors in fact by negligence, and many errors in deduction by prepossession, are all which we have hitherto obtained regarding the life of Henry, as Prince and King of Navarre.
