Anotace knihy

Excerpt from The Fall of the Dutch Republic The following conversation is not uncommon: The well-intentioned Patron of Arts and Letters asks the Author what he is doing. "Writing a History." "That is good. Very good. A History of what?" "The Fall of the Dutch Republic." "Splendid! That is what Motley has done, too, and we need some new light on the subject. Look at it from a modern, up-to-date point of view - show us how the People... Hold on, now. I am wrong. You said, 'The Fall of the Dutch Republic'? Motley wrote the Rise. Why, I did not know that the thing had ever fallen." And then, most welcome Reader, it appeared that out of a hundred interested inquirers, ninety-nine had none but the very vaguest conceptions of the adventures of the Dutch Republic from the moment it had ceased to be chronicled by the Great American Historian. Some few, who had taken English history in college, had dim recollections of a certain William of Orange who as the husband of Queen Mary had played some sort of a role in the works of the late Lord Macaulay.
