Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complaint of Peace: To Which Is Added, Antipolemus; Or the Plea of Reason, Religion, and Humanity, Against War Under the impulse of a desire, (the sincerity of which I call God to witness,) to prevent the effusion of human blood, and those unnecessary miseries, without a name and without number, which poor human nature brings upon itself, in addition to the multitude of physical and other unavoidable evils; I here present the English reader with an admirable Treatise of one of the greatest men that ever adorned Europe, the celebrated Erasmus. - The title he gives it, in the original language, is Querela Pacis, undique gentium ejectæ profligatæque. I collect from internal evidence, that it was written about the year 1517; and I find, from a curious passage in one of his Latin letters, that it was occasioned by the following remarkable circumstance, scarcely recorded in history: "It was a favourite project," says he, "about that time, to assemble a Congress of Kings at Cambray. It was to consist of Maximilian the Emperor, Francis the First king of France, Henry the Eighth of England, and Charles, the sovereign of the low countries; of which I am a native. They were to enter, in the most solemn manner, into mutual and indissoluble engagements to preserve Peace with each other, and consequently, Peace throughout Europe.
