Excerpt from History of the English Revolution of 1640: Commonly Called the Great Rebellion; From the Accession of Charles I. To His Death The full explanation given by M. Guizot, in the following preface, of the nature of this work, renders any remark on my part unnecessary. I will therefore merely state that in translating it my desire has been to render the author's meaning as nearly as possible in his own style; whether I have succeeded in this object, it is for others to determine. As to the books, documents, and speeches quoted, I have in all cases gone back to the original sources consulted by the author, and given the ipsissima verba of the respective writer or speaker. M. Guizot, in setting forth his authorities, refers to his own edition of the Memoirs relative to our Revolution (a most valuable publication); the references in my translation are to the best English edition of each work cited. The ample index now given Is an entirely new feature, and will, I trust, be accepted as an important one.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins and consequences of the English Revolution of the 17th century. The author places the revolution within the context of major contemporaneous transformations in European society and argues that it was the result of two revolutions: one religious, the other political. The first revolution, the Reformation, introduced important religious changes in England. These changes, however, were accompanied by a significant increase in royal power. The political revolution of the 17th century was a reaction to this increase in royal power and aimed to establish a more representative and accountable government. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the causes and consequences of the English Revolution, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most important events in English history.
