Excerpt from Memoir of Benjamin Robbins Curtis, LL. D, Vol. 2: With Some of His Professional and Miscellaneous Writings
Any one who reads the history of Europe for the last fifty years, who perceives the vast changes which have taken place in the constitutions and governments of that quarter of the world, will be impressed with the idea that the causes which have led to these changes are general and widely prevalent. He cannot avoid perceiving that all the countries of Europe partake in some degree of the spirit which has overturned so many thrones and brought war and confusion into so many communities. He will not believe that an effect so general is to be ascribed to very partial and limited causes. The question which then occurs is, Where are we to look for those causes? I answer, In the constitution of society in Europe.
The Northern nations who burst the barriers of the Roman Empire, and spread themselves over the most flourishing countries of Europe, soon became sensible of the advantages and pleasures of civilization. They adopted the improvements, and in some instances the language, laws, and manners, of the more cultivated nations whom they had conquered. The sovereigns divided the land among their officers, who held their property on condition of performing certain services for the crown.
Thus originated the celebrated feudal system, which has had such an important influence on the condition of Europe, - an influence which has never for a moment ceased to be felt down to the present time.
This system was founded at a period when the common people had no rights and privileges except those which the king and the nobles chose to give them, and when they had no security for them after they were actually obtained. But in process of time things began to wear a different aspect. We find one part of the people gradually acquiring wealth, together with the importance which always attends it. They were at first weak, and forced to join sometimes one party and sometimes another in those endless disputes between the nobles and the crown.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of how institutions established by the first settlers of New England had a profound impact on the development of the region's inhabitants. The author traces the motivations and challenges faced by the Pilgrims, Puritans, and other religious groups who sought refuge in America. The book examines how their civil, literary, and religious institutions shaped the character of New Englanders, fostering a spirit of independence, self-governance, and intellectual curiosity that would later fuel the American Revolution. The author argues that the region's unique history and culture, rooted in religious freedom and self-determination, have left a lasting legacy, shaping the character of New Englanders to this day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330573228_0
