Excerpt from Political Progress in the Nineteenth Century A more ambitious work followed. AS Maurice had influenced his earlier years, so Burke dominated his later development. For the character and writings Of the great Statesman Mr. Macknight conceived an enthusiasm, which ended only with his life. In The History Of the Life and Times of Edmund Burke, Of which the three volumes were published between 1856 and 1860, he produced a work of great ability, and abiding value. For many years it remained the stand ard authority, and at the time of his death the author was engaged in completing a new edition of it, and an annotated edition of Burke's works, to which several years of patient research had been devoted.

Excerpt from Political Progress in the Nineteenth Century Mr. Thomas Macknight, who began, but unhappily did not live to complete this volume of "The Nineteenth Century Series was born in Durham in 1829. :He was educated at King's College, London, where he graduated with distinction and was awarded the first 22 prize for an Essay on the Historical Plays of Shakespeare. Among the professors of the College at that time was the Rev. J. F. Denison Maurice, one of the most liberal minded theological writers and influential social reformers of his day. To his wholesome influence Mr. Macknight owed much in the formation-s of his mind and character. During the impression% able years of his College career he acquired not only knowledge, but toleration of judgment, sympathy with the opinions and difficulties of his fellow-men, and an ardent interest in the many movements then springing up for ameliorating the condition, and promoting the happiness of the people. The future Liberal writer and Editor could not have fallen under a more potent or more beneficent influence. In addition to his high scholarship and breadth of opinion, there was a geniality and personal magnetism about Maurice which were peculiarly attractive and winning, and enabled him to create a deep impression upon those with whom he came in contact.

Excerpt from The Mind of the Nation: A Study of Political Thought in the Nineteenth Century Tm: objects of the present work are first to describe and analyse the machinery of National Government, and the motive forces which have actuated it during the present century, secondly to point out the source. The direction and the balance of power at the present day, and thirdly to indicate which of the tendencies of modern constitutional development seem to lead to danger, and ought therefore to be resisted, and which will probably lead to strength, prosperity and happiness, and ought therefore to be encouraged.

Excerpt from An Outline of Political Growth in the Nineteenth Century With these nations is to be classed Belgium, for its politics are dominated by the excitable Southern temper. A large portion of its population is Germanic, but the Celtic element seems to have given its characteristics to the whole nation and to have controlled its political development. Hence Belgium has recently made radical constitutional changes in a period of feverish excitement attended by extensive strikes of the workingmen.

Excerpt from Some Social and Political Pioneers of the Nineteenth Century The following chapters, with the exception of the one on William Morris, originally appeared in the Co-operative News. They are now reprinted in a permanent form in the hope that they will be of service to those who are interested in social questions, and especially to those who wish to make themselves acquainted with some of the most important social and industrial movements of the nineteenth century. An attempt has been made to give not merely a series of short, detached biographies, but to connect, with each person and movement dealt with, a sort of historico-biographical narrative, showing the development of social and political ideas during the course of the century. The reader will thus be enabled to estimate, to some extent, the vast change in thought and outlook which has taken place during the past eighty years. I have to thank my brother Owen for kindly undertaking the tedious task of correcting the proof-sheets of this book.

Excerpt from An Outline of Political Growth in the Nineteenth Century The nineteenth century has had a peculiarly interesting history. Its achievements have been so rich and varied as to bewilder the mind that tries to apprehend them each and all with clearness and accuracy. In art there has been a return to nature, with many gratifying and some subtle and questionable results. The same tendency has manifested itself in poetry, and is to be traced through such widely differing authors as Wordsworth, Leconte de Lisle, and Pushkin. Both romanticists and realists have made brilliant contributions to fiction, and the decadents have at least called forth a storm of criticism. History has seen the development of the trained specialist and original investigator. Science has fathomed some of nature's deepest secrets and revolutionized industry. And in the domain of politics the people have put forth their strength and obtained constitutions. These are merely a few of the notable movements of the century. All of those that are here enumerated have accomplished vast results, and which of them is the more important and significant cannot be said. Science has effected stupendous changes; but so too have the revolutions in politics been far-reaching and momentous. It is largely through those revolutions that the human mind has been emancipated, deadening tyranny abolished, and science allowed to work its beneficent reforms. It would therefore appear that the political progress of the century has been of a vital and fundamental character, and that the successive triumphs of popular institutions cannot but form a profoundly interesting story.

Excerpt from World Politics at the End of the Nineteenth Century: As Influenced by the Oriental Situation It has been the intention of the writer in the present volume to gather into a harmonious picture the multitude of facts and considerations that go to make up international politics at the present time. The treatment is of necessity suggestive rather than exhaustive, but it is believed that, while at present no complete historical judgment as to the great forces at work could be delivered, still the far-reaching importance and dramatic interest of present developments would justify the attempt to obtain a bird's-eye view. These considerations indicate the purpose as well as the necessary limitations of the present work. While the author has, in every case, sifted his evidence and attempted to found his judgments on unimpeachable testimony, the subject is so vast that only the paradoxical specialist in all fields could avoid just criticism. The author has, however, attempted to keep himself entirely free from a priori conceptions and prejudices, and to view the great drama of contemporary life as an unimpassioned beholder who forbears to censure or commend. The plan of the book may need a word of explanation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
