Walsh THE THIRTEENTH GREATEST OF CENTURIES : C.2. PREFACE "Why take the style of these heroic times? For nature brings not back the mastodon -- Nor we those times; and why should any man Remodel models?" What Tennyson thus said of his own first essay in the Idyls of the King, in the introduction to the Morte D'Arthur, occurs as probably the aptest expression of most men's immediate thought with regard to such a subject as The Thirteenth, Greatest of Centuries. Though Tennyson was confessedly only remodeling the thoughts of the Thirteenth Century, we would not be willing to concede "That nothing new was said, or else, Something so said, 'twas nothing," file:///D|/Documenta%20Chatolica%20Omnia/99%20-%20Pr.../001%20-Da%20Fare/JWalshTheGreatestOfCenturies-2.htm (1 of 3)2006-06-01 13:00:57 James J. Walsh THE THIRTEENTH GREATEST OF CENTURIES : C.2. for the loss of the Idyls would make a large lacuna in the literature of the Nineteenth Century. "If it is allowed to compare little things with great," a similar intent to that of the Laureate has seemed sufficient justification for the paradox the author has tried to set forth in this volume. It may prove "nothing worth, mere chaff and draff much better burnt," but many friends have insisted they found it interesting. Authors usually blame friends for their inflictions upon the public, and I fear that I can find no better excuse, though the book has been patiently labored at, with the idea that it should represent some of the serious work that is being done by the Catholic Summer School on Lake Champlain, now completing nearly a decade and a half of its existence. This volume is, it is hoped, but the first of a series that will bring to a wider audience some of the thoughts that have been gathered for Summer School friends by many workers, and will put in more permanent form contributions that made summer leisure respond to the Greek term for school. The object of the book is to interpret, in terms that will be readily intelligible to this generation, the life and concerns of the people of a century who, to the author's mind, have done more for human progress than those of any like period in human history. There are few whose eyes are now holden as they used to be, as to the surpassing place in the history of culture of the last three centuries of the Middle Ages. Personally the author is convinced, however, that only a beginning of proper appreciation has come as yet, and he feels that the solution of many problems that are vexing the modern world, especially in the social order, are to be found in these much misunderstood ages, and above all in that culmination of medieval progress -- the period from 1200 to 1300. The subject was originally taken up as a series of lectures in the extension course of the Catholic Summer School, as given each year in Lent and Advent at the Catholic Club, New York City. Portions of the material were subsequently used in lectures in many cities in this country from Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore., St. Paul, Minn., to New Orleans, La. The subject was treated in extenso for the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in 1906, after which publication was suggested. The author does not flatter himself that the book adequately represents the great period which it claims to present. The subject has been the central idea of studies in leisure moments for a dozen file:///D|/Documenta%20Chatolica%20Omnia/99%20-%20Pr.../001%20-Da%20Fare/JWalshTheGreatestOfCenturies-2.htm (2 of 3)2006-06-01 13:00:57 James J. Walsh THE THIRTEENTH GREATEST OF CENTURIES : C.2. years, and during many wanderings in Europe, but there will doubtless prove to be errors in detail, for which the author would crave the indulgence of more serious students of history. The original form in which the material was cast has influenced the style to some extent, and has made the book more wordy than it would otherwise have been, and has been the cause of certain repetitions that appear more striking in print than they seemed in manuscript. There were what seemed good reasons for not delaying publication, however, and leisure for further work at it, instead of growing, was becoming more scant. It is intrusted to the tender mercies of critics, then, and the benevolent reader, if he still may be appealed to, for the sake of the ideas it contains, in spite of their inadequate expression. file:///D|/Documenta%20Chatolica%20Omnia/99%20-%20Pr.../001%20-Da%20Fare/JWalshTheGreatestOfCenturies-2.htm (3 of 3)2006-06-01 13:00:57 James J.

  • Literature of the Low Countries
    Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

  • Capitaine Flibustier Dans La Colonie Française De Saint-Domingue: Le Cas De Jan Willems, Alias Yankey (1681-1687)
    CAPITAINE FLIBUSTIER DANS LA COLONIE FRANÇAISE DE SAINT-DOMINGUE: LE CAS DE JAN WILLEMS, ALIAS YANKEY (1681-1687) Raynald Laprise. Introduction L’âge d’or des corsaires néerlandais dans la mer des Antilles dura environ un quart de siècle (1622-1648). À chaque année, au cours de cette période, en flottes plus ou moins imposantes, armées par la Westindische Compagnie, ils appareillaient des ports de Hollande et de Zélande à destination de l’Amérique pour y piller l’ennemi espagnol.1 La paix venue, cette expérience américaine des Néerlandais fut mise à profit par les jeunes colonies antillaises de la France et de l’Angleterre. En effet, pour ces deux autres rivales de l’Espagne, le vieil adage «Pas de paix au-delà de la Ligne» demeura plus longtemps en usage.2 Ainsi, dès les années 1650, plusieurs de ces marins des Provinces Unies des Pays-Bas continuèrent leur lutte contre les Espagnols à bord de corsaires battant pavillons anglais et français. Certains devinrent ensuite capitaines dans les deux principaux centres de flibuste qu’étaient la colonie britannique de la Jamaïque et sa voisine française de l’île de la Tortue et côte de Saint-Domingue (aujourd’hui Haïti).3 Les origines précises de ces hommes, ainsi que les circonstances dans lesquelles ils obtinrent leurs commandements, échappent souvent à la recherche. Cependant, pour quelques uns d’entre eux, les informations, glanées ici et là, permettent de reconstituer assez fidèlement leur carrière au service de l’étranger. C’est le cas notamment d’un nommé Jan Willems, mieux connu de ses contemporains sous le pseudonyme de Yankey, dont la carrière illustre assez bien la vie de ces marins.4 204 CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NETHERLANDIC STUDIES Première Partie: De pirate à corsaire Jan Willems devient capitaine flibustier lors de l’une des rares périodes de paix en Europe entre la France et l’Espagne au cours du 17e siècle.

    CHALOTTE MAY YONGE CAMEOS FROM ENGLISH HISTORY FROM ROLLO TO EDWARD II 2008 – All rights reserved Non commercial use permitted CAMEOS FROM ENGLISH HISTORY FROM ROLLO TO EDWARD II. 1873 PREFACE. The "Cameos" here put together are intended as a book for young people just beyond the elementary histories of England, and able to enter in some degree into the real spirit of events, and to be struck with characters and scenes presented in some relief. The endeavor has not been to chronicle facts, but to put together a series of pictures of persons and events, so as to arrest the attention and give some individuality and distinctness to the recollection, by gathering together details at the most memorable moments. Begun many years since, as the historical portion of a magazine, the earlier ones of these Cameos have been collected and revised to serve for school-room reading, and it is hoped that, if these are found useful, they may ere long be followed up by a second volume, comprising the wars in France, and those of the Roses. _February 28th, 1868._ CONTENTS. INTRODUCTION CAMEO I. ROLF GANGER (900-932) CAMEO II. WILLIAM LONGSWORD AND RICHARD THE FEARLESS (932-996) CAMEO III. YOUTH OF THE CONQUEROR (1026-1066) CAMEO IV. EARL GODWIN (1012-1052) CAMEO V.

  • The Monarchs of the Main Volume II
    The Monarchs of the Main Volume II By Walter Thornbury MONARCHS OF THE MAIN CHAPTER I SIR HENRY MORGAN. Son of a farmer—Runs to sea—Turns Buccaneer—Joins Mansvelt, and takes the Island of St. Catherine—Mansvelt dies—St. Catherine retaken by the Spaniards—Takes Port-au-Prince—Quarrel of French and English Buccaneers about a marrow-bone—Takes Porto Bello—Captures Le Cerf Volant, a French vessel—It blows up—Takes Maracaibo—City deserted—Tortures an Idiot—Le Picard—Storms Gibraltar—Also deserted—Tortures the Citizens—With a Fire- ship destroys Spanish fleet, and repasses the Bar—Escapes by stratagem— Rancheria expedition—Sails for Panama—Captain Bradley takes the Castle of Chagres—Anecdote of wounded Buccaneer. Morgan's campaigns furnish one of the amplest chapters of Buccaneer history. Equally daring, but less cruel than Lolonnois, less fanatical than Montbars, and less generous and honest than De Lussan or Sharp, he appears to have been the only freebooting leader who obtained any formal recognition from the English government. From an old pamphlet, we find, that the expedition to Panama was undertaken under the commission and with the full approbation of the English governor of Jamaica. Sir Henry Morgan was the son of a Welsh farmer, of easy circumstances, "as most who bear that name in Wales are known to be," says Esquemeling, his Dutch historian. Taking an early dislike to the monotonous, unadventurous life of his father's house, he ran away from home, and, coming to the coast, turned sailor, and went to sea. Embarking on board a vessel bound for Barbadoes, that lay with several others in the port, he engaged himself in the usual way to a planter's agent, who resold him for three years immediately on his arrival in the West Indies.

The Slave South In The Far West: California, The Pacific, And Proslavery Visions Of Empire Abstract This dissertation rests on a relatively simple premise: America’s road to disunion ran west, and unless we account for the transcontinental and trans-Pacific ambitions of slaveholders, our understanding of the nation’s bloodiest conflict will emainr incomplete. Whereas a number of important works have explored southern imperialism within the Atlantic Basin, surprisingly little has been written on the far western dimension of proslavery expansion. My work traces two interrelated initiatives – the southern campaign for a transcontinental railroad and the extension of a proslavery political order across the Far Southwest – in order to situate the struggle over slavery in a continental framework. Beginning in the 1840s and continuing to the eve of the Civil War, southern expansionists pushed tirelessly for a railway that would run from slave country all the way to California. What one railroad booster called “the great slavery road” promised to draw the Far West and the slaveholding South into a political and commercial embrace, while simultaneously providing the plantation economy with direct access to the Pacific trade.
