Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crusades and the Crusaders The piety and chivalry exhibited by those Christian warriors, who, at an early period of European civilization, le: their homes and their countries to rescue the Holy Sepulchre from the grasp of Moslem conquerors, have since seldom save in the case of men too sceptical to sym pathize, or too stupid to comprehend failed to excite admiration and curiosity. My object, in this book for boys, is to give an idea of the heroes who, animated by religion and heroism, took part in the battles, the sieges, the marvellous enterprises of valor and despair, which make up the history of those great adventures known as the Crusades.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Crusades Although the title sufficiently indicates the Scope of this work, it may not be superfluous to add that it is designed to give to busy people a narrative Of the grand drama of the Crusades. The strictly historical portions rest of course on contemporary authority, but in the treatment and application of the first writers, I have drawn largely on the thought Of a noble array of scholars, widely differing in views, a list of whose works is given before the Index.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jerusalem and the Crusades There is not much water in Palestine in the way Of rivers and lakes, but there are many Springs; and the rain-water is stored up in great, deep cisterns cut out Of the rock. Sometimes we use the Old cisterns that the Romans made, hundreds Of years ago, when they ruled in Palestine: that was long before the Crusaders' days, Of course. In the days Of the Crusaders there were many more forests and many more trees than there are now, and wild beasts were common. There are still some - bears, leopards, wolves, jackals, cheetahs, hyenas, and foxes, and SO on - but they are not really common. There are also some poisonous snakes, and insects that sting, such as scorpions and centipedes; but the land was SO much better covered in the Old days that all these things were far more common, and the Crusaders Often suffered a good deal from their poisonous stings, not knowing what they were.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Crusades, Vol. 1 of 3 And we unhesitatingly claim a place among these for that which we are about to lay before the public. It were super uous to speak of the advantages derived from the science to which it belongs; and there can be no doubt that the Crusades form one of the most important sections of human history; not only instructive, but extraordinary; supplying abundance of edifying matter to the statesman, the philosopher, the poet, the novelist, and the citizen. If it be true that no page of history should be considered as a blank to the statesman, which leaf of her vast volume can he turn with much more promise of instruction? He will behold men, of powerful and ambitious minds, seizing upon the worst passions of various ages, - superstition, cupidity, and cruelty, - and wielding the energies of incredible multi tudes, in endeavours to work out their own ends and views. Many an invaluable lesson may he gather from the want of foresight, prudence, knowledge, and unanimity dis played in these astonishing enterprises whilst the causes of numerous effects now in Operation may be plainly traced to these eventful periods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Crusades Of these French memoirs, the Memoirs of Villehardouin and Joinville, here reproduced in an English form, are certainly not the least interesting. They are the first in date, those of Villehardouin having been written, probably, in the days of our King John, early in the thirteenth century while those of Joinville were completed, about a century later, in October I 309, shortly after our Edward II. Had begun to reign. Both are monuments of the French language, and of French prose, at an early stage of development - giant lispings, as one may Say. Both are written by eye-witnesses who had taken an important part, in the case of Villehardouin a very important part, in what they describe. Both deal with stirring episodes in one of the most stirring chapters in human history, the chapter that tells how, for some three centuries, Christendom put forth its power to capture, and again recapture.
