But England possessed two elements of strength--her people, although differing in creed and often warring with one another, were intensely patriotic, and were united as one man against a foreign foe; and the ships of England, manned by English crews and commanded by her great captains--the legitimate successors of the old Vikings--dominated the seas. No enterprise was too hazardous for these hardy mariners to undertake, and no disparity of force ever induced them to pause. Philip was often wrought to frenzy as he saw these bold corsairs capture his treasure-ships and ravage his coasts in sight of his invincible but impotent armies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Ten Great Events in History by James Johonnot. DEFENSE OF FREEDOM BY GREEK VALOR, CRUSADES AND THE CRUSADERS, DEFENSE OF FREEDOM IN ALPINE PASSES, BRUCE AND BANNOCKBURN, COLUMBUS AND THE NEW WORLD, DEFENSE OF FREEDOM ON DUTCH DIKES, THE INVINCIBLE ARMADA, FREEDOM'S VOYAGE TO AMERICA, PLASSEY; AND HOW AN EMPIRE WAS WON, LEXINGTON AND BUNKER HILL. Patriotism, or love of country, is one of the tests of nobility of character. No great man ever lived that was not a patriot in the highest and truest sense. From the earliest times, the sentiment of patriotism has been aroused in the hearts of men by the narrative of heroic deeds inspired by love of country and love of liberty. This truth furnishes the key to the arrangement and method of the present work. The ten epochs treated are those that have been potential in shaping subsequent events; and when men have struck blows for human liberty against odds and regardless of personal consequences. The simple narrative carries its own morals, and the most profitable work for the teacher will be to merely supplement the narrative so that the picture presented shall be all the more vivid. Moral reflections are wearisome and superfluous.
