Excerpt from History of the English Revolution of 1640: Commonly Called the Great Rebellion; From the Accession of Charles I. To His Death
I have no fear of its importance being underrated; our revolution, in surpassing, did not make that of England less great in itself; they were both victories in the same war, and to the profit of the same cause; glory is their common attri bute; they do not eclipse, but set off each other. My fear is least their true character should be mistaken, least the world should not assign to them that place which is properly theirs in the world's history.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins and consequences of the English Revolution of the 17th century. The author places the revolution within the context of major contemporaneous transformations in European society and argues that it was the result of two revolutions: one religious, the other political. The first revolution, the Reformation, introduced important religious changes in England. These changes, however, were accompanied by a significant increase in royal power. The political revolution of the 17th century was a reaction to this increase in royal power and aimed to establish a more representative and accountable government. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the causes and consequences of the English Revolution, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most important events in English history.
