I PURPOSE to write the history of England from the accession of King

James the Second down to a time which is within the memory of men still

living. I shall recount the errors which, in a few months, alienated a

loyal gentry and priesthood from the House of Stuart. I shall trace the

course of that revolution which terminated the long struggle between our

sovereigns and their parliaments, and bound up together the rights of

the people and the title of the reigning dynasty. I shall relate how the

new settlement was, during many troubled years, successfully defended

against foreign and domestic enemies; how, under that settlement,

the authority of law and the security of property were found to be

compatible with a liberty of discussion and of individual action never

before known; how, from the auspicious union of order and freedom,

sprang a prosperity of which the annals of human affairs had furnished

no example; how our country, from a state of ignominious vassalage,

rapidly rose to the place of umpire among European powers; how her

opulence and her martial glory grew together; how, by wise and resolute

good faith, was gradually established a public credit fruitful of

marvels which to the statesmen of any former age would have seemed

incredible; how a gigantic commerce gave birth to a maritime power,

compared with which every other maritime power, ancient or modern, sinks

into insignificance; how Scotland, after ages of enmity, was at length

united to England, not merely by legal bonds, but by indissoluble ties

of interest and affection; how, in America, the British colonies rapidly

became far mightier and wealthier than the realms which Cortes and

Pizarro had added to the dominions of Charles the Fifth; how in Asia,

British adventurers founded an empire not less splendid and more durable

than that of Alexander...For User easiness we upload the Book on Two links. One link is Yellow Color Name
