Excerpt from The Cabinet Portrait Gallery of British Worthies, Vol. 1 'among the histories of eminent kings, that of our Henry II. Is one of the most remarkable both in its beginning and its end, both in the character of the man and in his fortunes; and, mostly tragic as the annals of human ambition are, there are few such histories that exemplify more impressively the instability and vanity of all earthly greatness.

Excerpt from Cabinet Portrait Gallery of British Worthies, Vol. 7 At ten years of age he commenced his studies at the grammar school in Canterbury; and upon the 31st of May, 1593, soon after the completion of his fifteenth year, was admitted as a pensioner at Caius College, Cambridge. At that time a familiar acquaintance with logic and the learned languages was indispensable as a first step in the prosecution of all the branches of science, especially of medicine: and the skill with which Harvey avails himself of the scholastic form of reasoning in his great work on the Circulation, with the elegant Latin style of all his writings, particularly of his latest work on the Generation of Animals, afford a sufficient proof of his diligence in the prosecution of these preliminary studies during the next four years which he spent at Cambridge. The two next were occupied in visiting the principal cities and seminaries of the Continent. He then prepared to address himself to those investigations to which the rest of his life was devoted; and the scene of his introduction to them could not have been better chosen than at the University of Padua, where he became a student in his twenty-second year. The ancient physicians gathered what they knew of anatomy from inaccurate dissections of the lower animals: and the slender knowledge thus acquired, however inadequate to unfold the complicated functions of the human frame, was abundantly sufficient as a basis for conjecture, of which they took full advantage. With them every thing became easy to explain, precisely because nothing was understood; and the nature and treatment of disease, the great object of medicine and of its subsidiary sciences, was hardily abandoned to the conduct of the imagination, and sought for literally among the stars.

Excerpt from The Cabinet Portrait Gallery of British Worthies, Vol. 5 In 1550, in the reign of Edward VI., it was proposed that Elizabeth should be married to the eldest son of Christian III. Of Denmark; but the negotiation seems to have been stopped by her refusal to consent to the match. She was a favourite with her brother, who used to call her his sweet sister Temperance but he was nevertheless prevailed upon by the artful and interested representations of Dudley to pass over her, as well as Mary, in the settlement of the crown which he made by will a short time before his death. This transaction has been related in the life of Lady Jane Grey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Cabinet Portrait Gallery of British Worthies, Vol. 9 Oblivious of their recent obligations, and of their present distractions, dependency, and helplessness, they resolved to wrest the command from the officers who had reseated them, and insisted that new commissions should be taken out from themselves or their Council of State, and that the whole army should be immediately placed in a proper dependency on the civil power-i. A, on the Rum who had no other right to be a parliament or conne than that which the army had given them. As might have been foreseen, the men of the sword and of action, ia stead of submitting to be turned out themselves, turned out the men of the pen and of speeches and theories. The rough, blunt Desborough explained, in a very few words, the whole logic of the army. Because, said he, the parliament intended to dismiss us, we had a right to dis miss the parliament. This was in effect, the death sentence of the Commonwealth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Cabinet Portrait Gallery of British Worthies, Vol. 3 From that ci after a stay of only a few months, goes on All is while it appeareth that Cromwell had yet no sound taste nor judgment of religion, but was wild and youthful, without sense or regard of God and his word, as he himself was woont oft times to declare unto Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, showing what a ruf fian he was in his oung days, and how he was in the wars of the Duke of ourbon at the siege of Rome and so continued, till at length by learning the text of the New Testament without book, of Erasmus's transla tion, in his going and coming from Rome (as is aforesaid) he began to be touched and called to better understand ing. But the famous sack of Rome by the Duke of Bourbon took place, as is well known, in May, 1527 so here are events which were seventeen years apart jumbled together as if the had happened in the same year. From the rest of ox's narrative it is evident that he was entirely ignorant or thoughtless of the date of this sack of Rome, at which he states Cromwell to have been present; for he brings him back to England some cars before it actually occurred. But the story is talc; in a wa equally unintelligible in an elaborate article in the ographra Britannica, ' where, after men tion of his 'curney to Rome in 1510, the narrative pro coeds Whilst he remained in Italy, he served for some time as a soldier under the Duke of Bourbon, and was at the sacking of Rome; and at Bologna he assisted John Russell, Esq., afterwards Earl of Bedford, in mak ing his escape when he had like to be betrayed into the hands of the French, being secretly in those parts about our king's affairs. And then comes the anecdote about his getting the translation of the New Testament by heart, in his journey to and from Rome. Dr. Lin gard, who seems to have consulted Roman Catholic authorities, affirms generally that Cromwell in his early youth served as a trooper in the wars of Italy; from the army he passed to the service of a Venetian merchant; and, after some time, returning to England, exchanged the counter for the study of the law.'
