Excerpt from Matthew Paris's English History, Vol. 3: From the Year 1235 to 1273 Thus then passed this year, moderately productive of corn and fruit, severe, owing to the' deadly disease amongst the cattle and to sum up brie&#64258;y the state of human affairs, it was one of trouble to the whole of mankind. Of this state of trouble, the cause, amongst the Orientals, was said to be the unfortunate capture of the French king. Thus we see, when a bone is thrown amongst a lot of snappish dogs, each one endeavours to seize it, and in their struggle one attacks the other; and thus striving to gnaw the bone, they gnaw each other, whilst the bone remains untouched. The empire was in a state Of danger, like a vessel without a helmsman. The French kingdom, deprived of rulers, barons, arms, and money, never before lamented such a comfortless and deso late state. England, trampled underfoot by foreigners, bow ing the neck to many masters, and deprived Of the sincere affection of its king, and submitting to the most abject con ditions, pined away in despair and inconsolable and, what was most grievous, the deadly hatred existing between the Church and the people daily increased.

Excerpt from Matthew Paris's English History, Vol. 1: From the Year 1235 to 1273The name of Matthew Paris is too well known to the public to render any apology necessary for publishing an English translation of his valuable "English History," - a work wherein its author has condensed all that former writers had said about the times that preceded, and to which all succeeding writers must have recourse for the history of the period in which its author lived.Of the life of this laborious writer, very little is known. He was a monk of St. Alban's Abbey, and was probably called Parisiensis, the "Parisian," which we generally interpret "Paris," from having been born or educated in the capital of France. Unlike most of the monks of the Middle Ages, who seldom were content to pass through life without bequeathing to posterity a weighty load of theological works, and commentaries on the Bible, Matthew Paris seems to have confined his attention wholly to the study of history, and, with a laudable patriotism, to the history of his own country. To this circumstance may be ascribed the pains which he took, even after his great work was completed, to improve it in every way, and to gather fresh stores from every available source.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
