Years ending with the figure eight.

history of kings, says the Manchester
Guardian. Thus 1588 sounded the
knell of Philip Ii's hopes of extended
empire; 1618 was the beginning of the
Thirty Years War, with the misery
which the ambition of priiiees
brought upon Europe; 4628, by the,lie-
tition of Right, marked the first "real,
revolt of the British people against
the doctrine of the divine right, e i'e:
volt consummated in 1645. The, death
of Cromwell put'a period to 'another
form of autocracy in s658, and 168s.
saw the end of the divine right' as'
practical politics in England. The firs}

democratic power into fuli life,..,aiid
the Bathe of the Nile, in 1748, crushed
