The pieces here range from an account of the Jesuit Matteo Riccis mission in China in the sixteenth century to a discussion of the Anglo-Scottish Union. They include essays on medicine at the early Stuart Court  on the plunder of artistic treasures in Europe during the wars of the seventeenth century  on the plans of Hugo Grotius to create a new universal church on an Anglican base  on the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and religious toleration thereafter. There are also biographical studies of Archbishop Laud  Matthew Wren  the Earl of Clarendon  and Prince Rupert.  As Noel argument wrote in Our Age  Hugh Trevor-Roper has \"perfected the historical essay as the most beguiling form of enlightening readers about the past. He is the most eloquent  sophisticated and assured historian of Our Age  and has never written an inelegant sentence or produced an incoherent arguement.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646918713397,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226812308","price":21.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780226812304.jpg?v=1781681768","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/from-counterreformation-to-glorious-revolution-9780226812304","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
