Seller's Description:
New. Size: 9x6x0; New Large Softcover Book; The Last Rally, Belloc narrates with clarity and vigor a central episode in the decline of the English Monarchy. Restored to the throne following the interlude of Cromwell's "Commonwealth, " Charles II devoted his life as King of England to maintaining the integrity of the throne against all the forces arrayed against it; the power of the great landowners he worked through the Parliament; the influence of the Lawyer's Guild; and the irresistible mercantile and financial strength of the City of London. The story that Belloc brings to life is thus one of survival: the story of a ship of state brought "through peril and storm under a great captain, " It is also the story of manhood and determination in the face of overwhelmining odds; as such it is a story that Hilaire Belloc was eminently qualified to write. "If kingship would have remained, the Peasantry would have been saved. Also there would have been a considerable and well-organized traditonal Catholic body, which might have been a quarter of the nation, or at least a sixth...As it was, with the fall of the Stuarts, the Catholic Church in England was utterly crushed out."
