Description
Excerpt from A History of Modern Europe From the Fall of Constantinople, Vol. 1 of 6
The work, of course, is of a political nature 5 its main object being to show the origin and nature of the European concert. To have entered into any descriptions of manners and literature, besides being foreign to its subject, would have swollen the book to an inconvenient size. Such topics are more appropriate to the particular histories of different countries, or to separate works specially devoted to them. It has, however, been sometimes necessary to enter into literary history when it has produced social or political revolutions, as in the case of the Protestant Reformation and the French Revolution. But here, as in the rest of the work, the main outlines only could be indicated, and the reader must complete the sketch from his own researches.
