Excerpt from Harmsworth History of the World, Vol. 4 It is impossible in private affairs to trace such distant causes of mere accidental events, of no apparent importance at the time; but in these great public results we see how continuous is the cause and its effects, and how impossible it is to get away from the results of acts which do not even depend on great or conscious decisions.

Excerpt from The World's History and Its Makers, Vol. 4 It is the purpose of this volume to sketch briefly the lives and doctrines of those men who have been most eminent in that field of thought which is described generally by the word philosophy. There is some difficulty, when the subject is treated historically, in separating philosophy from science on the one hand, and from theology on the other. For in the early growth and development of human knowledge these three instruments of progress are so intertwined and interdependent, have such closely related causal connections, and are made one, at least functionally, by next which cannot be severed without fatality to all, that we arc perforce required to take account of all when examining each. But while this is without doubt true, it is by no means impossible to follow the stream of speculative thought through the centuries, recognizing its scientific aspects when such aspects are present and not disregarding its theological significance when it seems to disappear in theology. Inasmuch as these sketches shall be biographical mainly, no attempt will be made at an exposition of doctrines in any manner adequate for the purposes of a history of philosophy. That field has been well tilled, if not too well tilled already. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of the World, Vol. 4 of 4: From the Earliest Period to the Year of Our Lord 1783, With Particular Reference to the Affairs of Europe and Her Colonies At the period when the peace of the Pyrenees put an end to the contest between France and Spain, [A. D. 1659, ] which was a kind of appendage to the thirty years war, Louis the Fourteenth was in the twenty-first year of his age. Cardinal Mazarin was still at the head of the government, and now administered it in peace. The last civil war, if the commotions of the Fronde are to be called by that name, having been extinguished, he was neither employed in pursuing any immediate schemes, nor in looking forward to any farsighted plans of policy; but was performing the farce to the great tragedy which was going on in England. Louis the Fourteenth was moved by ambition to the pursuit of a particular species of greatness, which he displayed in the course of fifty-four years, [A. D. 1661 - 1715, ] the period during which he reigned without a prime minister. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
