Book Description
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 Description
Excerpt from Heroines of the Crusades Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, whether glorious in the beauty of her first temple, and the excellent wisdom of her philosopher king, or veiled in the darkness of that fatal eclipse in which the solemn scenes of Calvary consummated her glory and shame, has occupied a position in the great drama of human events, more interesting and important than any other city on the globe. But Jerusalem, in the gloom of that moral night which gathered over the nations after the fall of the western Empire of the Romans, exerted a greater influence upon the minds of men than at any for mer period. The insulting Moslem felt a degree of veneration for the splendid ruins over which he walked with all a conqueror's pride - the African anchorite left his solitary hermitage to weep upon Mount Olivet - the European adventurer wreathed his stafi' with the branch ing palm from her holy hills - the despairing Jew sat in sackcloth at her fallen gates, and even the mingled barbarians of the East united with the Christian to revere the spot where art achieved its proudest monument, and poetry found the theme of its sublimest song.

Excerpt from The Crusaders, or Scenes, Events, and Characters, From the Times of the Crusades HE seventh century of the Christian era was witness of a great and sudden change in the moral and poli tical condition of the East. It is marked by the appear. Ance of Mohammed the Prophet of God, as he is styled by those who profess his religion. It is not our intention to become the panegyrists of the Prophet, but truth compels us to acknowledge that he possessed many great and noble qualities; and we might in charity believe, that, born as he was in the midst of idolatry, with the whole world lying in dark ness around him, the light-religion? Of Persia (by far the purest system Of unrevealed religion) sunk and de graded, the Mosaic law become a burdensome and pue rile superstition, and even Christianity itself nearly lost beneath the weight of false philosophy and abject ido latty - he may have been sincere in the first enunciation of the sublime sentence on which his religious system rests, There is no God but God.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Assassins: A Romance of the Crusades It was not the juice of the grape alone that had been given to the Assassins, but spices had been added and also haschisch. The potent drug began to work; dull eyes kindled, a strange exaltation possessed them. Their senses were quickened, they felt their strength swell, and they shrieked their battle-songs, clashing their scimitars on their shields. The visages of many were seamed with scars, which changed color as the wine fired their blood, and they boasted of their wounds, while those who had no mark to point to dyed their forearms in the lees so as to look more fierce.

Excerpt from The Crusaders, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Scenes, Events, and Characters, From the Times of the Crusades Tn: present work, as is sufficiently indicated by its title, is not designed to be a regular history of the Crusades. It is a picture of manners rather than a narrative of events. The object proposed has been to set before the view of the reader, as clearly as the existing documents permit, the Crusa ders, the Greeks, the Turks, and the Saracens, of the twelfth century, as they lived, thought, and acted. Hence there will be found much more of anecdote in the following pages than is per haps consistent with legitimate historic narrative. Discussion has been avoided as being unsuitable to a work of this kind, and reflections are intro duced only where they seem to be required, and vpresented themselves naturally. The narration, 5 though not laying claim to the rank of history, is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Crusaders, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, Scenes, Events, and Characters, From the Times of the Crusades The flattering reception which the first volume of the crusaders, ' destitute of novelty as the subject might appear to be, has met with, causes the appear ance of the present volume, which like the former embraces the space of about half a century. In this the narrative is carried down to the taking of J eru salem by sultan Saladin, and terminates with the crusade headed by Philip Augustus and Richard Caeur de Lion. At this point also the work con eludes. It was not designed to be a complete history of the Crusades, and the writer therefore.
