Though the Translator feels that the name of Augustin Thierry, already so well known in this country, especially by his “Histoire de la Conquête de l’Angleterre,” affords the best hope of drawing attention to the work which he has ventured to present in an English dress, yet he wishes to state briefly some few characteristics which particularly mark it, and which may excite an interest in the mind of the general reader, as well as of the student of French history. They are as follows:—The very vivid sketches which the accurate and experienced author has given of the principal persons and events which are connected with those most interesting passages of French history, which form the subject of his work. The manner in which, while purposely omitting facts which are already generally known, he has drawn attention to those which are but slightly noticed by other historians. The insight which he gives into that growth of opinion and national progress which, like a strong under-current, was in reality silently determining the course of events, not only in France, but in civilized Europe, during the Middle Ages, and the period immediately subsequent to them. And, lastly, the bold and earnest love of truth and laborious investigation of documentary evidence which have made history what it ought to be—a record of facts, rather than a mere expression of superficial opinions and prejudices—and which honourably distinguish the school of writers to which M. Thierry so eminently belongs, and to which a daily increasing value is justly attached. The Translator begs to add, that he has thought it most conducive to accuracy to retain for the most part the names of offices and technical terms in the original language, where either there is no exact equivalent in English, or where the apparent equivalent might mislead from a different signification having been attached to it; but, in almost every instance of the kind, the reader will find them explained in the context or in the notes. He has also left a few of the notes in old French untranslated, as the substance of them is generally embodied in the text, and their value seemed in great measure to depend on a certain quaintness of language which could not be preserved in the translation. PLL v6.0 (generated September, 2011) 5 http://oll.libertyfund.org/title/1957 Online Library of Liberty: The Formation and Progress of the Tiers État, or Third Estate in France vol. 1 [Back to Table of Contents] PREFACE. The work which forms the principal part of this volume is the summary of all my labours relative to France. It has been composed as an introduction to the collection of unpublished records of the history of the Tiers Etat, one of the publications of historical documents ordered under the last reign. It is a survey of our national history, taken in those years in which the author, carrying his observations back to the distance of seven centuries, and thence bringing it down to the state of things around him, remarked a regular succession of civil and political progress; and recognised, at each end of the road which he had travelled over, the same nation and the same monarchy, connected one with the other, modified under the same circumstances, and exhibiting their last change consecrated by a new compact of union. Considered from this point of view, the history of France appeared beautiful in unity and simplicity. I have vividly felt the grandeur of such a spectacle, and under its impression, I have conceived the design of bringing together continuously into one narrative the facts which mark through successive ages the gradual development of the Tiers Etat, its obscure sources, and the part which it bore in a slow but always progressive influence upon the social life of the country. In order that the nature of this work may be perfectly understood, I must fix the true sense of the words Tiers Etat in the mind of the reader. The space which separates the present time from the old regime, and the prejudices which were spread by systems tending to divide the population of the nation, which is to-day one and the same, into classes mutually opposed to one another, have obscured in the minds of many persons the historical idea of that which constituted in former times the third order in the States-General of the kingdom. There is a disposition to suppose that this third order then answered to what is now called the bourgeoisie; that it was a superior class among those which were out of the pale of, and, in different degrees, beneath the nobility and the clergy. This opinion, which, besides its falseness, has the evil of making an antagonism appear to have its foundation in history, though it is in reality but an invention of yesterday, and one that is destructive of all public security, is in contradiction to all the ancient proofs, to the authentic acts of the monarchy, and to the spirit of the great movement of reform in 1789. In the sixteenth century some foreign ambassadors, describing the political constitution of France, said, “What are called the States of the kingdom consist of three orders of persons, who are, first the clergy, next the nobility, then all the rest of the population.

HISTORICAL CALENDARS, COMMEMORATIVE PROCESSIONS AND THE RECOLLECTION OF THE WARS OF RELIGION DURING THE ANCIEN RÉGIME PHILIP BENEDICT * Abstract — In the centuries that followed the Edict of Nantes, a number of texts and rituals preserved partisan historical recollections of episodes from the Wars of Religion. One important Huguenot ‘ site of memory ’ was the historical calendar. The calendars published between 1590 and 1685 displayed a particular concern with the Wars of Religion, recalling events that illustrated Protestant victimization and Catholic sedition. One important Catholic site of memory was the commemorative procession. Ten or more cities staged annual processions throughout the ancien régime thanking God for delivering them from the violent, sacrilegious Huguenots during the civil wars. If, shortly after the Fronde, you happened to purchase at the temple of Charenton a 1652 edition of the Psalms of David published by Pierre Des-Hayes, you also received at the front of the book a twelve-page historical calendar listing 127 noteworthy events that took place on selected days of the year. 1 Seven of the entries in this calendar came from sacred history and told you such dates as when the tablets of the Law were handed down on Mount Sinai (5 June) or when John the Baptist received the ambassador sent from Jerusalem mentioned in John 1.19 (1 January).

This broader picture of court politics and diplomatic networks – which also relied on familial and kin ties – provides a way of studying the political role of women in early modern Europe. This role has to be studied taking into account the overlapping of familial and political concerns, where the intersection of women as mediators and coordinators of extended networks is a central feature of European societies.

The Faux pas of a Vert Galant: The Historiography of Henry IV's Military Leadership Annette Finley-Croswhite* Old Dominion University Henry IV is one of the few historical figures whose military reputation rests on the fact that he operated successfully during the course of his life at all definable levels of military command: as a soldier and partisan leader, a battlefield tactician, a campaigner, and a national strategist. He fought in over two hundred engagements, never lost a battle, and was the major victor in four landmark battles. Nevertheless, until recently most judgments by French, British, and American historians, scholars like Pierre de Vaissière, Sir Charles Oman, Lynn Montross, and David Buisseret, have portrayed Henry IV not as a great military commander, but as a risk-taking opportunist, always the Vert Galant in the guise of a skilled tactician and cavalryman.

Accepted: 28 February 2017 ABSTRACT: In 1586 the book Advertissement des Catholiques Anglois aux François catholiques, du danger où ils sont de perdre leur religion was edited in Paris: the author, the Ligueur Loys Dorléans wanted to show what would be the future of France under the dominion of an heretical king, using as example the sufferings of the contemporar- ies English Catholics. The book knew many editions and Dorléans published other works on the same subject. In 1592 the Catholique Anglois, was printed twice in Spanish, in Madrid and Zaragoza. The history of the edition of Dorléans’ texts in Spanish must be understood as an effort of the English Catholic refugees and their network of alli- ances in Spain to demonstrate their tragic situation to the public. The Spanish editions of Dorléans’ work were made at the same time when new English Colleges were opened in the Spanish Kingdom.

  • Narrative of a Voyage to the West Indies and Mexico in the Years
    REPORT FOR 1858. The Hakluyt Society has completed on this anniversary the eleventh year of its existence, and it is with great satisfaction that the Council are able to report that it has never during that period been in a sounder and more healthy condition than at the present time. With not a single outstanding debt, it has, as will be seen by the Balance Sheet appended, a balance at the bankers of £316 : 3 : 3, with subscriptions re- maining uncollected amounting to £238 : 7; while books are at the present moment in preparation in the hands of editors to meet the rightful claims of Subscribers for volumes due up to the close of the current year. During the past twelvemonth the lists of subscribers has undergone revision, in consequence of the large amount of arrears reported at the last Annual Meeting, and the result has been that upon the issue of a circular then resolved upon, a considerable amount of back subscriptions has been called in, while the list has been cleared of the names of those members whose subscriptions had been in arrear, and who disregarded the applications made to them for payment. After this correction of the list, the number of subscribers held to be valid (although, from various causes, such as absence in remote parts of the world, the subscriptions of some whose names are still retained may not have been re- ceived) is reduced to 287. As it has during the last few years been thought desirable for the interests of the Society to meet the wish of many new Subscribers to purchase the entire set of the Society's previous publications, the Council at the last Annual Meet- ing announced their resolution to allow a new member join- ing the Society in 1857 to receive all the books issued and due up to the close of 1856 for six guineas, exclusive of the — 2 subscription for that year.
