In this book, Woods argues that the study of history should focus on the actions of individual monarchs, as they hold the key to understanding the broader movements of society. Drawing on examples from across Europe, he builds a compelling case for his new science of history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

""The Influence of Monarchs: Steps in a New Science of History"" is a book written by Frederick Adams Woods and published in 1913. The book explores the role of monarchs in shaping the course of history, arguing that their actions have had a profound impact on the development of societies and nations. Woods contends that monarchs have exerted their influence through a variety of means, such as military conquests, political alliances, and cultural patronage. He also examines the ways in which monarchs have been influenced by their own personal ambitions, beliefs, and relationships. Through a series of case studies, Woods illustrates how monarchs have shaped the course of history in both positive and negative ways, and argues that understanding their influence is essential to developing a more complete understanding of the past. The book is considered a landmark work in the field of historical scholarship and remains influential to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
