England under the Tudors" (1911)

In the opening lines of his book "England under the Tudors" (1911), author Arthur D. Innes writes:

“The historian of the future will, perhaps, affirm that the nineteenth century, with the last years of the eighteenth, has been a period more fraught with momentous events in the development of the nations than any equal period since the Christian Era commenced.

Yet striking as are the developments witnessed by the last four generations, the years when England was ruled by Princes of the House of Tudor have a history hardly if at all less momentous.”
