To The Student Of Political History, And To The English Student Above All Others, The Conversion Of The Roman Republic Into A Military Empire Commands A Peculiar Interest. Notwithstanding Many Differences, The English And The Romans Essentially Resemble One Another. The Early Romans Possessed The Faculty Of Self-Government Beyond Any People Of Whom We Have Historical Knowledge, With The One Exception Of Ourselves. In Virtue Of Their Temporal Freedom, They Became The Most Powerful Nation In The Known World; And Their Liberties Perished Only When Rome Became The Mistress Of Conquered Races, To Whom She Was Unable Or Unwilling To Extend Her Privileges. If England Was Similarly Supreme, If All Rival Powers Were Eclipsed By Her Or Laid Under Her Feet, The Imperial Tendencies, Which Are As Strongly Marked In Us As Our Love Of Liberty, Might Lead Us Over The Same Course To The Same End. If There Be One Lesson Which History Clearly Teaches, It Is This, That Free Nations Cannot Govern Subject Provinces. If They Are Unable Or Unwilling To Admit Their Dependencies To Share Their Own Constitution, The Constitution Itself Will Fall In Pieces From Mere Incompetence For Its Duties. [more]

James Anthony Froude (/ˈfruːd/ frood;[1][2] 23 April 1818 – 20 October 1894) was an English historian, novelist, biographer, and editor of Fraser's Magazine. From his upbringing amidst the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement, Froude intended to become a clergyman, but doubts about the doctrines of the Anglican church, published in his scandalous 1849 novel The Nemesis of Faith, drove him to abandon his religious career. Froude turned to writing history, becoming one of the best known historians of his time for his History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada.[3] Inspired by Thomas Carlyle, Froude's historical writings were often fiercely polemical, earning him a number of outspoken opponents. Froude continued to be controversial up until his death for his Life of Carlyle, which he published along with personal writings of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle. These publications illuminated Carlyle's often selfish personality, and led to persistent gossip and discussion of the couple's marital problems. [more]
