Excerpt from Philip Augustus, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, the Brothers in ArmsTo none of these bright points does the light of history lend a more dazzling lustre than to the twelfth century, when the most brilliant institution of modern Europe, the feudal sys tem, rose to its highest pitch of splendour, when it incorporated with itself the noblest Order that ever the enthusiasm of man (if not his wisdom) conceived, - the Order of Chi valry and when it undertook an enterprise which, though fanatic in design, faulty in exe cution, and encumbered with all the multitude of frailties that enchain human endeavour, was in itself magnificent and heroic, and in its con sequences grand, useful, and impulsive to the whole of Europe - the Crusades.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
