Excerpt from In the Days of William the Conqueror The story of William the Conqueror is the story of the man who for more than a quarter of a century was the most prominent personage of western Europe. Into whose hands shall England fall, was one of the two or three great questions of the time, and it was William who solved the problem. Whether or not his claim to the English throne was just, the people and their new sovereign seemed made for each other. The English could follow; William could lead. The English could endure; William could strike the blow that made endurance needless. The English were inclined to be grave and serious; William enjoyed a jest. The English were a little slow in their thinking; William was quick-witted. The English would yield to fate; William was fate itself.

Excerpt from William the Conqueror Line, even among the conquering kings and their imme diate instruments, their work never takes the shape of the rooting up Of the earlier institutions of the land. Those institutions are modified, sometimes silently by the mere growth Of events, sometimes formally and Of set purpose. Old institutions get new names; new institutions are set up alongside of them. But the Old ones are never swept away; they sometimes die out; they are never abolished. This comes largely of the absorbing and assimilating power Of the island world. But it comes no less of personal character and personal circumstances, and pro-eminently of the personal character of the Nor man Conqueror and of the circumstances in which he found himself.

Excerpt from William the Conqueror and the Rule of the Normans Stock. The Northmen were to bring a new racial element into the life of Western Europe, but whether that element should adapt itself to the conditions of its new environment, or whether it should develop new forms of political associa tion for itself, was a question determined by the pre-existing facts of history and geography.

Excerpt from William the Conqueror: A Historical Romance This Romance was written about 1 837 when Sir C. Napier was suffering under the injustice of Sir Frederick Adam. The preface is a humorous allusion to himself, as Mr. Peter Grievous, vainly seeking redress for to laugh at, and joke upon his own misfortunes, was with him an absolute necessity. The blow given to his commander was indeed metaphorical, but never forgotten or forgiven a book exposing the red-tapism and injustice of official power was inexpiable.

Excerpt from The Life William the Conqueror: Now First Published From Official Records and Other Authentic Documents While History is occupied with the public deeds of the great and the mighty of the earth, and with the consequences which result from them, it is the province of Biography to penetrate into the inmost recesses of their souls; to explore the peculiarities of individual disposition, character, and way of thinking; to study the influence of external circumstances upon these; to search out the real motives of actions; to follow its subject into the privacy of dopaestic and social life; and to draw a faithful picture alike of his virtues and his vices, his excellences and his failings, his passions, propensities, and eccentricities - in short, of every trait by which he is distinguished from the rest of mankind. The observant reader need scarcely be reminded how often trivial circumstances and expressions afford a clearer insight into the real motives, views, characters, and dispositions of men than could ever be obtained from the mere consideration of their public conduct.
