Critical And Historical Essays Contributed To The Edinburgh Review Vol 3 Of 3 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 5 We return our hearty thanks to Mr. Montagu for this truly valuable work. From the opinions which he expresses as a biographer we often dissent. But about his merit as a collector of the materials out of which opinions are formed, there can be no dispute; and we readily acknowledge that we are in a great measure indebted to his minute and accurate researches for the means of refuting what we cannot but consider as his errors. The labour which has been bestowed on this volume has been a labour of love. The writer is evidently enamoured of the subject. It fills his heart. It constantly overflows from his lips and his pen. Those who are acquainted with the Courts in which Mr. Montagu practises with so much ability and success well know how often he enlivens the discussion of a point of law by citing some weighty aphorism, or some brilliant illustration, from the De Augmentis or the Novum Organum.

Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 William was an infant when the civil war broke out; and, while he was still in his rudiments, a Presbyterian hierarchy and a republican government were established on the ruins of the ancient church and throne.01d Mr. Wycherley was attached to the royal cause, and was not disposed to intrust the education of his heir to the solemn Puritans who now ruled the universities and public schools. Accordine the young gentleman was sent at dilceu to France. He resided some time in the neighbourhood of the Duke of Montausier, l chief of one of the noblest families of Touraine. The Duke's wife, a daughter of the house of Rambouillet, was a finished specimen of those talents and ac complishments for which her race was celebrated. The young foreigner was introduced to the splendid circle which surrounded the duchess, and there he appears to have learned some good and some evil. In a few years he returned to his country a fine gentleman and a Papist. His conversion, it may safely be afirmed, was the effect not of any strong impression on his understanding, or feelings, but partly of intercourse with agreeable society in which the Church of Rome was the fashion, and partly of that aversion to Calvinistic austerities which was then almost universal among young Englishmen of parts spirit, and which, at one time, seemed likely to make one half of them Catholics, and the other half Atheists.

Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Vol. 2 of 3: Contributed to the Edinburgh Review Decided nothing. Pitt saw that a decision by force of arms could no longer be avoided. He also saw that the war must be chiefly a naval war. He subsidised the King of Prussia it is true, and sent a contingent of British troops to Prince Ferdinand, the better to divert the energies of Moo to the Continent, but it was upon the navy that he lavished his care and the resources of the treasury. Aided no doubt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
