Excerpt from The Complete Works of John L. Motley Three or four years passed away, in the course of which the evils of a joint and undivided sovereignty of two rival houses over the same territory could not fail to manifest themselves. Brandenburg, Calvinist in religion, and for other reasons more intimately con nected with and more favored by the states' govern ment than his rival, gained ground in the duchies. The Palatine of Neuburg, originally of Lutheran faith like his father, soon manifested Catholic tendencies.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of John L. Motley, Vol. 1 These volumes make a separate work in themselves. They form also the natural sequel to the other histories already published by the author, as well as the necessary introduction to that concluding portion of his labors which he has always desired to lay before the public - a history of the Thirty Years' War. For the two great wars which successively established the independence of Holland and the disintegration of Germany are in reality but one, a prolonged Tragedy of Eighty Years. The brief pause which in the Netherlands was known as the Twelve Years' Truce with Spain was precisely the epoch in which the elements were slowly and certainly gathering for the renewal over nearly the whole surface of civilized Europe of that immense conflict which for more than forty years had been raging within that narrow precincts of the Netherlands. The causes and character of the two wars were essentially the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of John L. Motley, Vol. 2: The Rise of the Dutch Republic, a History The gentlemen who sent the letter were annoyed at the premature publicity which it seemed to have attained. Orange had in vain solicited Count Aremberg to join the league, and had quarreled with him in consequence.l Egmont, in the presence of Madame de Parma, openly charged Aremberg with having divulged the secret which had been confided to him. The count fiercely denied that he had uttered a syllable on the subject to a human being, but added that any communication on his part would have been quite super uous while Egmont and his friends were daily boasting of what they were to accomplish. Egmont reiterated the charge of a breach Of faith by Aremberg. That nobleman replied by lav ing his hand upon his sword, denouncing as liars all persons who should dare to charge him again with such an offense, and offering to fight out the quarrel upon the instant. Here, again, personal combat was with much difficulty averted.2. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Complete Works of John L. Motley, Vol. 5: History of the United Netherlands From the Death of William the Silent to the Twelve Years' Truce, 1609 The great advocate was now to start on his journey in order to make a supreme effort both with Henry and with Elizabeth to prevent the consummation of this fatal peace. Admiral Justinus of Nassau, natural son of William the Silent, was associated with Barneveldt in the mission, a brave fighting man, a stanch patriot, and a sagacious counselor; but the advocate on this occasion, as in other vital emergencies of the commonwealth, was all in all. The instructions of the envoys were simple. They were to summon the king to fulfil his solemnly sworn covenants with the league.

Excerpt from John Lothrop Motley: A Memoir The Memoir here given to the public is based on a biographical sketch prepared by the writer at the request of the Massachusetts Historical Society for its Proceedings. The questions involving controversies into which the Society could not feel called to enter are treated at considerable length in the following pages. Many details are also given which would have carried the paper written for the Society beyond the customary limits of such tributes to the memory of its deceased members. It is still but an outline which may serve a present need and perhaps be of some assistance to a future biographer.
