Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Survey of British History: Comprising an Analysis and Commentary With Appendices Illustrative of the Points of Contact Between Great Britain, Her Colonies and Foreign Nations The original germ of the following compilation was a very short and simple analysis of a period of history made for the benefit of a class of small boys preparing for the Oxford Local Juniors Examination. In the course of a few years other periods were added, until a fairly complete analysis of the history of England had been obtained, sprinkled with a few occasional notes on points of the first importance. This was subsequently compared with and checked by several of the best school text-books, and expanded by information drawn from a variety of sources. When the material thus accumulated began to grow somewhat unwieldy, it occurred to me that I had perhaps got together a collection of notes which might save much time and trouble for others who were interested in the subject. An expert who was consulted was good enough to confirm this impression, and the result is now before the reader.
