Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lessons of Past Times: An Introduction to the History of the Nineteenth Century
The present work forms the introduction to a detailed narrative, comprising the period from the fall of the French Empire, and the renewal of the relations of the European powers at the Congress of Vienna, to the middle of the present century. The aim of the subsequent history will be to discover the import and the intrinsic meaning of the events of this period.
This short space of time (not longer in duration than a single human life) contains events which, in its commence ment, were everywhere connected with the past, and which to this hour continue uninterrupted in their onward course though taken together, they appear but as a fragment, whose importance in the History of the World can only be recognized in its connexion with that which has preceded it.

Excerpt from Lessons of Past Times: An Introduction to the History of the Nineteenth Century
George Gottfried Gervinus was born in the beginning of the present century, at Darmstadt (the Grand Duchy of Hesse), where he was in early life apprenticed to a mercer, who had a small retail business in that city. A taste for reading led him to the study of history, and, having accumulated sufficient money to defray the expenses of his education, he removed to Heidelberg, where he studied with such success, that, after taking his degree, he became a teacher and lecturer in the University (Privatdocent). He soon after married a young lady, one of his pupils, who, possessed of a considerable fortune, secured for him an independence, which his previous circumstances rendered very acceptable. As a lecturer, he did not meet with much success, his delivery being careless, his articulation indistinct, and the students at that time not having in general much taste for the higher branches of philosophy. When Gervinus had attained his thirtieth year (about 1835) he was called to Gӧttingen, where the merits of his literary and historical attainments were first acknowledged.
Here he lived for two years in the enjoyment of a happy domestic life, and of the esteem and respect of the whole University, when a political event occurred which brought with it a severe trial to his independent spirit.
Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and King of Hanover (whose well-known political career in England, as a high Tory of the old school, had already prepared Germany for his despotic views), abolished the Hanoverian constitution in 1837, and demanded from the professors of the University of Gottingen an oath of allegiance to his absolute sovereignty.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concepts underpinning the formation and development of modern nation-states, focusing on the relationship between the power of the monarchy and the evolving concept of representative government. The author argues that the shift away from aristocratic rule towards centralized monarchies facilitated the rise of democratic ideals and institutions. Utilizing examples from European history, the book traces the parallel development of strong monarchies alongside the growth of a vocal middle class and the emergence of urban centers. It covers key historical events such as the Protestant Reformation, the rise of absolutism, the French Revolution, and the American Revolution, emphasizing the interplay between political, religious, and economic factors in shaping the modern state. The book concludes by reflecting on the ongoing struggle between democratic and authoritarian impulses in the modern world, highlighting the enduring relevance of its historical insights.
