Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New History of Great Britain Green, like every one else who tries to compress the story of England into' one volume, had to take a selective view; for instance, he emphasized, in some centuries, literary history, in others, social. There are many gaps in his narrative, due to the imperative need of compres sion and to these gaps we owe his singularly full treat ment of other parts of our history. The Short History was not a complete statement it was not meant to be such but it is the account of what struck a man who possessed both knowledge and genius, as being the most important aspects of English History.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Britons HY should the legendary story of the ancient Britons be less familiar to American readers than that of the early Romans? Is it less connected with our literature? Is it less interest ing in itself? Are we quite sure that it has less of truth for its foundation? When the Romans entered Britain, about a half century before the Christian era, they found there a people possessing fortified towns, and employing superior arms and war chariots. They found a people who had traded for many centuries with the most progressive people of the Far East - the Phoenicians - and who had long possessed an alphabet. They found a priesthood singularly learned, whose course of instruction covered a period of twenty years, and whose system of culture carried to human perfection the art of memorizing, since they preferred that their learn ing should be preserved in unwritten verse.

We need not ask where or what England is. Every boy and girl can tell as that England is the largest of the three parts of the island lying west of the conti nent of Europe, called Great Britain. Everyone knows that England is the center of that great empire upon whose terri tory the sun never sets. Agriculture and manufactures ﬂourish there; good roads, schoolhouses, churches, and hospitals abound. England is a civilized, a Christian nation. Once England was far different. Centuries ago the Christian religion had not reached its shores; the signs of civilization did not exist; hunt ing and fighting were the most common employments of its peo ple. Indeed, it was not England; the inhabitants were not Eng lishmen, nor did they speak a language at all like English. The island then had the name of Britain, and the people were called Britons. The story of the wonderful changes that have made early Britain the England of to-day is the history of England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-Saxon Britain This little book is an attempt to give a brief sketch of Britain under the early English conquerors, rather from the social than from the political point of View. For that purpose not much has been said about the doings of kings and statesmen; but attention has been mainly directed towards the less obvious evi dence afforded us by existing monuments as to the life and mode of thought of the people themselves. The principal object throughout has been to estimate the importance of those elements in modern British life which are chieﬂy due to purely English or Low Dutch inﬂuences.

In trying to do the former he probably read enough to have enabled him to write a larger work than this 5 but he would be ashamed to confess how long it has occupied him.

They made no settlements, nor did they leave any account of what they saw there, SO we may pass on at once to the invasion by Julius Caesar, which took place 55 B. C. The Britons whom Caesar attacked were fierce and warlike savages, using javelins and arrows when they fought, as well as Shields to defend themselves. They had, besides, a kind of blunt sword, which does not seem to have done much harm. They rode furiously to battle in chariots with sharp scythes sticking out on either side, managing their well-trained little horses with wonderful skill. In Winter they dressed themselves in the skins of animals in summer, when Caesar first saw them, they painted or tattooed their bodies with the blue juice of a plant called woad, which must have been somewhat like indigo. They had learned so much of civilized ways as to make rough, round houses of sticks and clay, with a hole at the top to let out the smoke; and those who lived near the sea-shore had little boats called coracles, made of basket-work covered with leather.

For to de lineate faithfully, and yet graphically, the wise Druid, the fierce British warrior, the daring hunter, and fiie unhappy slave, as each appeared in weal or woe, in war or peace, at home or abroad, requires a much larger amount of historic knowledge of the early inhabitants of this island, than has been transmitted to the present age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Literature This Book is an attempt on the part of its Author to supply an acknowledged want. It is true that class-books on the subject of English Literature are both numerous and important; but they are usually of such a character as to render them all but unintelligible to any except the most advanced classes. There are others, indeed, which are wonderfully picturesque in style; but which, for that very reason, are unsuitable for the work of the school-room, since the space usually allotted to description is greatly in excess of that which is devoted to facts, and such books are extremely difficult to examine upon. Now, as it seems to the Author, there is no good reason why English Literature should not be made available to junior classes, so that in the end their grasp of the subject may be rendered more complete and satisfactory than can be the case with the present text-books. In this book, therefore, by studied simplicity of treatment, it is sought to provide the junior pupil with tasks he will find easy to prepare, and the teacher with lessons he will find easy to examine. In the arrangement of the periods of literature, the best authorities have been followed; and, in dealing with authors, the plan adopted has been to give, first, a brief biographical sketch; then, when feasible, a short analysis of a principal work; and, lastly, a few observations on the leading characteristics of style. It will be found that more attention has been paid to the works than to the life of an author, additional information on the latter subject being left to the discretion of the teacher.

Questions have been included in the appendix, some suggesting handwork, both as a means of pre sentation in lessons and for illustrative purposes. Considerable use has been made of literature as historic evidence. Stories like those of the Knights of the Round Table often leave us With a clearer impression of the spirit of the times than any historic record.

The English, when they came, paid no attention to this Celtic speech, though they picked up a few words accidentally; but after their conversion to Christianity they adopted the same forms of the Roman letters as those used by the conquered Britons.
