Excerpt from History of the Reign of Charles the Fifth
Tho h, by omitting such considera ije but detachedartidles in the reign of Char es V. I have circumscribed m narration within more narrow limits, I am yet ersuaded, from this view 0 the intention and nature of the work which I t ought it necessary to lay before m readers, that the plan must still appear to them too extensive, and the u ertaking too arduous, I have often felt them to be so. But my conviction of the utility of such a history prompted me to persevere. With what success I have executed it, the public must now judge. I wait, not without solicitude, for its decision, to which I shall submit with a respectful silence.
