About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1806.

SIR, IN compliance with your desire I again present to you a train of observations and reflections which will give you but little pleasure; for not many reflections of an agreeable kind can arise from the period which now offers itself to our contemplation. After the subversion of the Roman empire a gloomy period succeeds, which seems to form a vast chasm in the history of the human mind. From that memorable epoch to the reign of Charlemagne, the history of Europe, during a period of more than three centuries, displays a continued scene of bloodshed and anarchy. The pages of history recount nothing else, during this dark and calamitous period, but the incessant and bloody revolutions which took place in the kingdoms and states which the northern nations had formed out of the ruins of the Roman empire; and the writers, who treat of those times, crowd their narratives with ill-authenticated details of battles, seiges, treasons, and assassinations, which are not worth the attention of posterity, any further than as they serve to exhibit a general view of the formation of the kingdoms and states of modern Europe. The Goths had established their kingdom in Spain, about A. D. 472; and Clovis established the French monarchy about the end of the fifth century. The Saxons had entered into England so early as A. D. 440. And the sixth century is distinguished by the establishment of the Saxon heptarchy in this country; the conquest of Burgundy and Acquitain by the French, and the complete establishment of the French monarchy. The kingdom of Idoacer, in Italy, was conquered by Theodoric, king of the Goths, who was subsidized and commissioned by the court of Constantinople, and reigned king of Italy under the sanction and authority of the eastern Emperor, ...

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
