Abstract

Gardiner's Great Civil War
March 17, 1887 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "History of the Great Civil War, 1642-1649," by Samuel R. Gardiner. In this book Gardiner comes forward bona-fide as an investigator and not as a preacher. The book shows that, the civilized world of Europe is again becoming involved in practical difficulties that have their ultimate source in the confusion and uncertainty of prevailing opinions. Wise men who study the annals of the past, will feel inclined to watch and see whether improved intellectual method, or the recognition of some new or forgotten truth, may not close the contests of the nineteenth century, just as the doctrine of religious toleration terminated in England the feuds which culminated in the great civil war.
