Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the World From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Vol. 3: Collected and Arranged From the Best Authorities
At the accession of Charles V. The situa tion of the Netherlands became widely changed. Instead of a paternal government, the chief of which in a great measure de pended on the prosperity of these provinces, they were converted into a dependent, and, though rich and populous, an insignificant part of a large empire, to the promotion of whose greatness, whether for good or for evil to themselves, they must in future be almost wholly subservient.
