Without the birth of this great commonwealth, the various historical phenomena of the sixteenth and following centuries must have either not existed, or have presented themselves under essential modifications. Itself an organized protest against ecclesiastical tyranny and universal empire, the Republic guarded with sagacity, at many critical periods in the world's history, that balance of power which, among civilized states, ought always to be identical with the scales of divine justice. The splendid empire of Charles the Fifth was erected upon the grave of liberty. It is a consolation to those who have hope in humanity to watch, under the reign of his successor, the gradual but triumphant resurrection of the spirit over which the sepulchre had so long been sealed. From the handbreadth of territory called the province of Holland rises a power which wages eighty years' warfare with the most potent empire upon earth, and which, during the progress of the struggle, becoming itself a mighty state, and binding about its own slender form a zone of the richest possessions of earth, from pole to tropic, finally dictates its decrees to the empire of Charles. So much is each individual state but a member of one great international commonwealth, and so close is the relationship between the whole human family, that it is impossible for a nation, even while struggling for itself, not to acquire something for all mankind. The maintenance of the right by the little provinces of Holland and Zealand in the sixteenth, by Holland and England united in the seventeenth, and by the United States of America in the eighteenth centuries, forms but a single chapter in the great volume of human fate ; for the so-called revolutions of Holland, England, and America, are all links of one chain. To the Dutch Republic, even more than to Florence at an earlier day, is the world indebted for practical instruction in that great science of political equilibrium which which must always become more and more important as the various states of the civilized world are pressed more closely together, and as the struggle for pre-eminence becomes more feverish and fatal. Courage and skill in political and military combinations enabled William the Silent to overcome the most powerful and unscrupulous monarch of his age. ... (Vorwort)

Daher findet es auch häufig Aufnahme in Werken zur Literaturgeschichte der USA . ... (wiki) // THE indulgence with which the History of the Rise of the Dutch Republic was received has encouraged me to prosecute my task with renewed industry. A single word seems necessary to explain the somewhat increased proportions which the present work has assumed over the original design. The intimate connection which was formed between the Kingdom of England and the Republic of Holland, immediately after the death of William the Silent, rendered the history and the fate of the two commonwealths for a season almost identical. The years of anxiety and suspense during which the great Spanish project for subjugating England and reconquering the Netherlands, by the same invasion, was slowly matured, were of deepest import for the future destiny of those two countries and for the cause of national liberty. The deep-laid conspiracy of Spain and Rome against human rights deserves to be patiently examined, for it is one of the great lessons of history. The crisis was long and doubtful, and the health ---- perhaps the existence ---- of England and Holland, and, with them, of a great part of Christendom, was on the issue. History has few so fruitful examples of the dangers which come from superstition and despotism, and the blessings which flow from the maintenance of religious and political freedom, as those afforded by the struggle between England and Holland on the one side, and Spain and Rome on the other, during the epoch which I have attempted to describe. It is for this reason that I have thought it necessary to reveal, as minutely as possible, the secret details of this conspiracy of king and priest against the people, and to show how it was baffled at last by the strong self-helping energy of two free nations combined. The period occupied by these two volumes is therefore a short one, when counted by years, for it begins in 1584 and ends with the commencement of 1590. When estimated by the significance of events and their results for future ages, it will perhaps be deemed worthy of the close examination which it has received. With the year 1588 the crisis was past; England was safe, and the new Dutch commonwealth was thoroughly organized. It is my design, in two additional volumes, which, Avith the two now published, will complete the present work, to carry the history of the Republic down to the Synod of Dort. After this epoch the Thirty Tears' War broke out in Germany; and it is my wish, at a future day, to retrace the history of that eventful struggle, and to combine with it the civil and military events in Holland, down to the epoch when the Thirty Years' War and the Eighty Tears' War of the Netherlands were both brought to a close by the Peace of Westphalia. … (Vorwort) / INHALT (Auszug): … Position and Character of Farnese ---- Preparations for Antwerp Siege ---- Its Characteristics ---- Foresight of William the Silent ---- Sainte Aldegonde, the Burgomaster ---- Anarchy in Antwerp ---- Character of Sainte Aldegonde ---- Admiral Treslong ---- Justinus de Nassau ---- Hohenlo ---- Opposition to the Plan of Orange ---- Liefkenshoek ---- Head-Quarters of Parma at ELalloo ---- Difficulty of supplying the City ---- Results of not piercing the Dykes ---- Preliminaries of the Siege ---- Successes of the Spaniards ---- Energy of Farnese with Sword and Pen ---- His Correspondence with the Antwerpers ---- Progress of the Bridge ---- Impoverished Condition of Parma ---- Patriots attempt Bois-lo-Euo ---- Their Misconduct ---- Failure of the Enterprise ---- The Scheldt Bridge completed ---- Description of the Structure ---- Position of Alexander and his Army ---- La Motte attempts in vain Ostend ---- Patriots gain Liefkenshoek ---- Projects of Gianibelli ---- Alarm on the Bridge ---- The Fire-Ships ---- The Explosion ---- Its Results ---- Death of the Viscount of Ghent ---- Perpetual Anxiety of Farnese ---- Impoverished State of the Spaniards / (u.v.v.a.m.)
