HISTORY OF THE UNITED NETHERLANDS 1590-92 - JOH...

A precise outline of the Eighty Years' War and formation of the modern Netherlands after the
foreign political conspiracy. History of the United Netherlands  1590-92 is a well-researched
work by American author  diplomat  and well-known historian  John Lothrop Motley. He thought it
was necessary to unfold  as minutely as possible  the secret details of conspiracy of king and
priest against the public  and to show how it was perplexed at last by the strong self-helping
forces of two free nations combined. Mortley is best known for his works on the Netherlands
like the three-volume work The Rise of the Dutch Republic  and the four-volume History of the
United Netherlands. It was mainly the period of the United Provinces in 1846 when Motley had
begun to plan a history of the Netherlands. This work was prepared on a huge scale and embodied
the results of a more considerable amount of original research. Motley planned to carry his
history down to 1648  but unfortunately  he died before finishing this work. By then  he had
published  in four volumes  The History of the United Netherlands  1584-1609 (1860-67).
