Trod on a serpent sleeping in the grass ... Read more

  • A Biography of Oliver Cromwell

    by Estelle Ross ...
    FOR NEARLY TWO CENTURIES CROMWELL’S name and fame were to suffer detraction, then Carlyle was to come forward and proclaim him with trumpet-blast a man of truth, the hero as King. “A brave bad man,” a hypocrite and fanatic—so he was judged by those whose vision was clouded by the passions of the time. The verdict of posterity has been otherwise. The courage and character which he demanded of his ... Read more

The task is obviously not one of translation or of paraphrasing, but of imaginative and, at the same time, interpretive construction. It is ... Read more

  • The Wars of the Roses

    by J.G. Edgar ...
    It is generally admitted that no period in England's history is richer in romantic incident than the three decades occupied by the Wars of the Roses; but the contest is frequently described as having been without interest in a political point of view. This idea seems erroneous. That struggle of thirty years was no mere strife of chiefs, ambitious of supremacy and unscrupulous as to means. Indeed, ... Read more

  • Life of Mary Queen of Scots (Complete)

    by Henry Glassford Bell ...
    A new work on the subject of Mary Queen of Scots runs an eminent risk of being considered a work of supererogation.

She ascended the Scottish throne at a time replete with interest; when the country had awakened from the lethargy of ages, and when the gray dawn of civilization, heralding the full ... Read more
