Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Henry the Fourth, Vol. 2 of 2: King of France and Navarre For months and years, the faction of the League, and its leaders of the house of Guise, had labored assiduously, to lower the sovereign in the opinion of the people, by every artful means that could be devised. All his actions were made the subject of comment, libel, and pasquinade; his secret vices were exposed, his follies magnified, his weakness held up to derision. The regular clergy were enlisted against him, the dark and mighty order of the Jesuits was taught to employ the most subtle of its arts to poison the minds of the people against their King. The public ear was accustomed to hear the necessity of dethroning him openly canvassed; and even his very table was not free from sarcasms at his person and his court. Henry III. on his part, seemed to labor to give point to the accusations of his adversaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
