Excerpt from A History of Modern Liberty, Vol. 1It is, then, liberty, as exemplified in history, that will chie¿y engage our attention. Moreover, as the subject of investigation is the history of modern liberty, our attention will be further restricted to the period denominated modern. I have, however, devoted a preliminary volume to the origins of liberty so restricted, and these origins I have sought in what have come to be known as the Midd...

Excerpt from The History of Edward the Third (1327-1377)The history of Edward II I. Is practically that of England for half a century, and embraces that of Scotland France, the Low Countries, and Spain in a more limited degree. The work is, therefore, more than a biography, it is a history of an important and dramatic epoch, as in¿uenced and overshadowed by the extraordinary man who was the motive power of the activity of his age. It is in thi...

Excerpt from A History of Modern Liberty, Vol. 3This second instalment of my "History of Modern Liberty" is concerned with the struggle with the Stuarts in England and Scotland in the seventeenth century. It is the continuation of the attempt, exemplified in the two volumes already published, to trace the historical development of liberty throughout the modern age. In the first of these volumes I strove to elucidate the origins and results of ...

Excerpt from The Growth and Decline of the French Monarchy This volume has grown out of a desire to investigate the origins of the French Revolution. Many books have been written on that Revolution, and a goodly number deal directly or indirectly with its origins. Writers like M. Taine have generalised its causes with philosophical grasp and acute ness. They have unfolded the more direct of these causes by a study of the Old rc'glfnc in its l...

Excerpt from The History of Edward the Third (1327-1377) In writing this work I have limited myself to the investigation of contemporary evidence. This evidence is composed, primarily, of official documents, and, secondarily, of the chronicles of the period. I shall not attempt to give in this preface a list of the works embraced in this twofold category. I have done so most amply in the footnotes as I went along, and to these I would direct ...

Excerpt from The Social and Industrial History of Scotland: From the Earliest Times to the Union The increased and increasing interest in social and industrial history has suggested the writing of this review of that of Scotland from the earliest times to the Union of 1707.
