Excerpt from Reminiscences, Vol. 2 of 2Edward irving died thirty-two years ago (decem ber in the first months of our adventurous settlement here; the memory of him is still clear and vivid with me, in all points,-that of his first and only visit to us in this House, in this room, just before leaving for Glasgow (october1 which was the last we saw of him, is still as fresh as if it had been yesterday - and he has a solemn, massive, sad and even pitiable, though not much blamable, or in heart ever blamable, and to me always dear and most friendly aspect, in those vacant Kingdoms of the Past. He was scornfully forgotten at the time of his death; having indeed sunk a good while before out of the notice of the more intelligent classes. There has since been and now is, in the new theological generation, a kind of revival of him, on rather weak and questionable terms, sentimental mainly, and grounded on no really correct know ledge or insight; which, however, seems to bespeak.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Thomas Carlyle presents a detailed outline of the history of Norway in this captivating historical book. For those of you who enjoy reading about historical facts in an entertaining and embellished way, Early Kings of Norway will not only meet, but also exceed your expectations in terms of the facts it presents and their delivery.As the title would hint to it, the book focuses mainly on the Kings of Norway, as well as the numerous intrigues, wars and strategic decisions they have taken to shape the foundation of the Scandinavian nation as we know it today. With many accurate facts about the Norse royal family tree, as well as about important facts, dates and events associated to Norway's long and extensive history, it is also a very important source of information for anyone interested in studying the country's past, or for history buffs who are mainly interested in facts of global significance and the order in which they happened.Unlike most authors, Carlyle doesn't limit himself to presenting the stories in the book as dry and uninteresting lists of events and dates that you'd normally want to read before bed just to fall asleep more easily. Instead, the book is filled with tales of interactions and perilous adventures that sound more like an account of a thrilling action film from the past, rather than a history book.With dialogues that accurately depict the language of the time, and well-chosen descriptions and remarks that hint at the customs and habits that people were used to, you will feel like you really are present in an era of kings and swords.Even though the book is not necessarily the real depiction of past actions and events - the author even admitting that some of the dates and places mentioned are speculative - you will definitely learn a lot about Norwegian culture and history while reading Early Kings of Norway.
