Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 63: Or Critical Journal: April July, 1836 Art. I. - Histoire de la Réforme, de la Ligue, et du Regne de Henri IV. Par M. Capefigue. 8 tom. 12mo. Bruxelles: 1834-35. We do not find that this work enjoys much reputation in France, and in many respects we have but an indifferent opinion of its merits. But as the historical views it contains are at variance with those given by authors whom the public has been accustomed to respect, we trust some remarks upon it will not be unacceptable to our readers. In writing a history of the League it has been the object of M. Capefigure to exhibit a picture of the opinions and character of the age in which it occurred. He has for that purpose accumulated passages from the pamphlets, discourses, letters, journals, satires, and ballads of the times. He boasts of having examined with care the chief collections of manuscripts in the libraries of France. He has made copious extracts from the municipal books of the Hotel de Ville at Paris, and borrowed occasionally from the private diaries of individuals who took a lively interest or active part in affairs. He has ransacked the archives of Simancas, and abstracted from the letters and memorials that passed between Philip II. and his agents abroad, whatever could throw light on the negotiations and intrigues of the Spanish Cabinet in foreign countries. He has published in his text the materials from which other historians have drawn their narratives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
