Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings From English History My aim in compiling these books of historical extracts is a very simple and practical one. The teaching of English History is spreading fast through our schools; but it can hardly be said as yet to have become a popular subject of study among their scholars. In fact, if I may trust my own experience, a large proportion of boys and girls turn from it as "hard," "dry," and "uninteresting." I cannot say that the complaint is a groundless one. In their zeal to cram as many facts as possible into their pages, the writers of most historical text-books have been driven to shut out from their narratives all that gives life and colour to the story of men. History, as we give it to our children, is literally "an old almanack;" and is as serviceable as an old almanack in quickening their wits or in rousing their interest No doubt wiser books will come in time; but meanwhile those teachers who care to appeal to more valuable faculties than that of mere memory are hard put to it to find a remedy for the "dryness" of history.

This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English History From Original Sources, Vol. 3 The day is past when History is looked upon as a dry and uninteresting study. Nothing, when pro perly taught, can be more interesting, dramatic, intensely luminous, and at the same time useful. Taking our own rough island story, what do we learn therein? We get to know who and what were the peoples that have made up the present British race: how and under what struggles our forefathers won the civil and religious liberties that we now enjoy: how and under what conditions the various steps in our social progress were made: how grew the Empire over which waves the Union Jack, and on which the sun never sets History therefore becomes a part of practical politics; for in it we can learn from the mistakes and successes of the Past how, to a certain extent, to regulate matters of the Present. The question has often been asked actually, and, perhaps, more often inwardly, How do we know all these things?

This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English History Drawn From the Original Sources: Intended to Illustrate a Short History of England All intelligent teachers of history realize the desira bility of having their students do more reading of history than is contained in the text-book, and most of them agree that this is best found in records and writings contemporary with the events being studied. But the practical problem of providing such readings for classes is by no means easy to solve. Those who have tried to procure the necessary number of copies of books, to dis cover English translations, to find applicable passages, and to make practicable requirements best know the difii culties of the task. I hope that this book of readings from the original sources of English history will help to overcome these obstacles. It is intended to be used as a close companion to my Short History of England the matter contained in it is arranged in the same order as the subjects taken up in that text-book, and is selected with a view to the further explanation and illustration of the principal points there discussed. It can, however, obviously be used in connection with other text-books, and in any case, where time is insufficient to make use of all the illustrative extracts, a selection from them can be made by the teacher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English Social History, Vol. 3: From Contemporary Literature; 1485 1603 It is a truism that every great political upheaval is followed by a keener and livelier interest on the part of statesmen and the people generally in the social and industrial questions that, ph nix-like, arise and demand settlement. The upheaval caused by the war has focussed the attention of the country upon the necessity for improving the social conditions of the people; and for many years to come legislation in the main will have to deal with the betterment of the conditions of life in its broadest and fullest aspect. A glimpse at the social conditions of the inhabitants of this country in the past will be a help towards the better understanding of what has gone to make "this little world... set in the silver sea" the cradle of a race of shopkeepers (as Napoleon dubbed us), and warriors, as we have proved ourselves to be. In these little volumes the editor has endeavoured to select from contemporary writers pen-pictures of the country and its inhabitants throughout the centuries: their mode of life; their food and clothing; their games and recreations; their feastings and their burials; their methods of fighting on land and sea; their laws and customs; their education; their instincts for trade; their pageants and their music; their joys and their sorrows; in fact, all that goes to make what we call "life."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of England Thirdly, I have clung pretty closely to the thread of English history, only introducing mention of other countries when their connection with England was especially close. Since England's story is so long and so eventful, I have felt that it had better here be told as simply, clearly, and continuously as possible, for its own sake, rather than to complicate it by including many facts drawn from the history of other countries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English Prose of the Eighteenth Century The principles governing the choice of selections may be briefly explained. In the first place, it was thought well to re present the half-dozen (more or less) most important prose writers of the century by fairly generous and complete speci mens of their work, approximating some twenty to thirty thou sand words each. These selections cover, in the experience of the editor, the assignments of prescribed reading set for one or two weeks, in college courses dealing with the century as a whole. The authors thus largely represented are Defoe, Swift, Steele, Addison, Johnson, Boswell, and Burke. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
