Book excerpt: Excerpt from Source-Book of English History, for the Use of Schools and Readers The purpose of this little book is stated elsewhere, but a few words of explanation are in place here. In the selection of materials I have endeavored to use extracts which were of real value for purposes of study, and yet of a nature to arouse the interest of the boy or girl of sixteen. No attempt has been made to treat of every important event or aspect of English history. I have rather sought to bring together extracts illustrating the dominant interest of each period. It may seem that a disproportionate share of the extracts is given to the later times. I have felt that this departure from the practice of most histories and text-books was justified by the great difficulty in gaining access to the original materials of the history of the last three centuries. Effort has been made to use the earliest or best edition available, and to reproduce the text with exactness. In some cases, however, the spelling has been deliberately modernised. This has been done wherever I feared that the difficulties of the original form might check the interest of the student. I am under much obligation to many writers, editors, and publishers, without whose generous courtesy the preparation of this book would have been impossible. Thus it is by the liberality of Mr. D. Nutt, and of Messrs. G. Putnam's Sons, and of the several editors, that I am able to print Extracts 22, 27, 31, 33, 37, and 41.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in American School Text-Books One of my earliest recollections is that of being taken to see the fireworks which were set off at the pierhead in Ramsgate harbor to celebrate the declaration of peace after the Crimean War. From that time until I went, when quite a young man, into the Gallery of Battles in Versailles - a gallery in which the glories of the French armies are celebrated in acres of canvas by the famous French artist Detaille - I never fully realized that Englishmen had ever been defeated by land or sea. I had been brought up in the belief that one Englishman could beat three Johnny Crapauds. But here all my illusions on that score were shattered at one rude blow, for about one picture in. Every three represented a defeat of the English in either a naval or a military engagement. Then I made up my mind with Sir Robert Walpole, that I would study anything but history, for history must be false. Some such awakening has no doubt come to almost every thinking man or woman who has been brought up on the old methods of teaching the history of their country, whether they be English or American, French or German, Turk or Russian - this no doubt has its effect in inspiring a patriotic feeling; in keeping alive a belief in the invincibleness of one's own nation; a faith in its good star, which has led men on to further victories and inspired them to yet more valorous deeds than their forefathers have performed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Sources of English History Arlier generations of schoolboys learnt English History as a series of unrelated facts set out in text-books of doubtful accuracy but indubitable dullness these facts, and above all the dates of their occurrence, they memorized, at the command of their teachers, with the intelligence, if not always with the fidelity, of the average parrot. More of such teachers and text-books have survived the passage of years than might have been hoped; but for some time past more enterprising teachers have supplemented their text-books with Source Books - selections of excerpts and translations from ancient chronicles and contemporary records. Yet, so far as I know, no writer has attempted to show the relation between these extracts and the text-books, or to explain on what bases History is built up. This little book - which had its origin in a course of lectures on The Original Sources of English History, which I gave at St. George's School, Harpenden - seeks to fill that gap. Its objects are two; first, to give the reader some general idea of the materials which the historian can, and should, use, and next to indicate the fascinating light on history which the student can Obtain by indulging in research among those materials. If any critic would complain that I have omitted much worthy of mention, I would retort that I am well aware of that fact, and that, had I chosen, I could have written a prodigious learned book that would have completely failed to serve my purpose. That purpose is not to satiate but to stimulate the appetite. Those who are interested in what I have written will gain more by following the subject up for themselves; those who are bored may at least be grateful that I have been brief. For the same reason I have not attempted any elaborate biblio graphy; the few hints I have given of the where abouts of materials are sufficient to start the enthusiast on his path - a path on to which even the most portentous list of books would never beguile anyone else.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States for Schools The aim of the authors in writing this book has been to present what seemed to them the main historical developments in American history, the knowledge of which will enable the pupil to understand 'he social, political, and economic institutions which he finds about him in this land wherein he lives. In doing this we have tried to use simple language, to show clearly the relation of one fact to another, and to keep the story constantly moving forward. We have sought to interest not by the selection of the merely entertaining facts which are often the things of least value, but by choice of the facts that have meant something in our growth as a nation. This is first of all a text-book and not a story-book. We make no apology for the omission of many of the yarns of American his tory. If history is worth teaching at all, it is worth teaching as causal, vital, meaning history. We heartily approve of reading his tory for mere pleasure. History is, we believe, in many of its high est literary forms, most delightful and valuable mere reading, but for serious study there are certain essentials which should not be disguised or palliated by facts which are only entertaining, and not essentially significant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School History of England In the selection of materials an attempt has been made to excite an interest that shall stimulate the pupil to a search for further knowledge. To this end there is given, in the appendix, a list of books easily accessible, some of which should be in every class-room where English history is taught. It is a good rule never to read less than two accounts of the same event. This provides training in comparison, discrim ination, and judgment, thereby accomplishing the main objects of historical study. The questions and topics for home reading that are appended to each section are intended to encourage independent thought and to supplement the work of the class-room.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of General History: For the Use of Schools in British North America In the following work I have aimed at giving, of course in mere outline, a connected narrative of the principal facts in the History of the World. I have endeavoured to group them in such a manner as may help to indicate their relative importance, and show the bearing which one event, or age baa upon another. In my book entitled "The Great Events of History" I have described in succession the great landmarks of the Christian Centuries. The present volume takes a wider sweep, for it aims at filling up the gaps necessarily left in following out the plan of its predecessor, and thus presents a complete summary of General History. It is needless to enlarge upon the uses of such a work in small compass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of History in Elementary Schools To-day the attention of everyone is fixed on the history that is being made from hour to hour. Our grasp of the ideals which we have formed in the past is being put to the test, and the course of the future is being determined. Patriotism is not a matter of discussion, but of action. The connection between the lessons which the citizens of Great Britain have learned from their knowledge of her history and the significance which they attach to the present momentous struggle is so close that we hope to be pardoned for publishing a book on the teaching of history even at such a time. It is true that, in the midst of such events, it is hard to view the past in its proper perspective and not to regard the whole course of history from the standpoint of the present issues. The book, however, was in the main written before the war, when it was possible to look back on the past and forward into the future with less emotion and more coldblooded judgment. What emboldens us to publish it now is that, reading our manuscript again in these days when interpretations of history are being tested in the fire, we see nothing to withdraw and little to alter. The nation has entered this war in no jingo spirit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
