HISTORY OF THE UNITED NETHERLANDS 1587B - JOHN ...

This work is a part of several volumes on the history of the United Netherlands  presenting a
precise outline of the Eighty Years' War and the formation of the modern Netherlands after the
foreign political conspiracy. History of the United Netherlands  1587b is a well-researched
work by American author  diplomat  and well-known historian  John Lothrop Motley. He believed
it was necessary to unfold  as minutely as possible  the confidential 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. In this work  Mortley talks about important
events in the history of the Netherlands  such as the Trial of the Queen of Scots  Netherland
Envoys in England  the Queen's bitter Invective against them  and many more. 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).
