Excerpt from Great Britain in the Latest Age, From Laisser Faire to State ControlThere are few more significant dates than that Of our English Revolution Of 1688 - 9. The engrossing struggle between King and Parliament had led to the victory Of the latter in the establishment Of the Commonwealth. There was a reaction, the work done had to be redone. The issue had to be made clear beyond any further possibility of doubt. The Bill Of Rights and the Act Of Settlement are the charters which proclaim definitely the victory Of the principle of self-government over despotism, not in so many words, in high-sounding soul-stirring phrase, but prosaically, in matter-oi-fact fashion with the sobriety, caution, and apparent compromise typical Of this most unromantic, most peaceful, most seemingly conservative Of all great revolutions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
