Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Arthur's History of England Though I have not the happiness to be a mother, my love of children has led me to think a good deal about them. Their amusements, and their lessons. This little history was written for a real little arthur, and I have endeavoured to write it nearly as I would tell it to an intelligent child. I well remember what I wanted to be told myself, in addition to what I found in my lesson-book, when I was first allowed to read the History of England, and I hope I have answered most of the questions I recollect to have wished to ask. I may have failed in satisfying the almost bound less inquiries of intelligent children; and I could wish that the mother or governess, who may put this little book into the hands of her pupils, would read each chapter herself before she gives it to a child, that she may be ready with answers to such questions as the chapter may suggest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child's Book of England You can be glad that you are English without being so silly as to think that the English are any better than the other peoples of the world. And you will find it easier to understand how foolish this would be when you read in my book from how many different races we English people are descended. Indeed this England of ours has been made great by people who have come from many different countries. When I wrote The Child's Book of France, I told you that I meant it to be a Peace book, because I believe that the more we know about other nations the less danger there is of quarrels and wars. The Child's Book of England is a peace book too. You must first know all about your own country and love your own country before you can understand other countries. You must begin by being good English men and women before you can become what ar citizens of: the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Old English History for Children Classic Reprint written by Edward Augustus Freeman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English History for Children With regard to the spelling of old-english names, I must plead guilty to a certain amount of inconsistency. My own feeling is in favour of always using the genuine spelling of the old names rather than the common Latin and French corruptions. But I find that many people are in a manner frightened at the unusual form which is thus given to names still in common use. I have therefore, somewhat at the ex pense of consistency, left some of the more common names, such as Alfred, Edward, and Edith, in their modern spelling; while other names which are less familiar to modern readers, and which often have no One generally received modern shape, I have left in their ancient form. On the subject of old-english names and on one or two points connected with the old-english language I have added a few remarks at the end of this Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child and His Book: Some Account of the History and Progress of Children's Literature in England The subject of this volume is one which, from its nature, presents many difficulties as regards material. It is the fate of children's books to be destroyed by children themselves; to be put aside as insignificant in public and private collections; to be omitted from catalogues and bibliographies to be bound up, sometimes, in heterogene ous batches of half-a-dozen in one cover, without regard to unity of authorship or similarity of contents; to be preserved - if at all - either by a mere happy chance, or for the sake of illustrations they may happen to contain and finally, in these modern days, to be hunted out for deportation to America.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From English History: For Children Such volumes resemble the charts in which navigators delineate the barren ranges of hills that form the leading features of a country, while the soft undulations of the fertile valleys, the verdant groves, flowery plains, and pleasant streams, are absent from the picture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of England The attempt is made, in this volume, to present clearly and concisely the main facts in the history of England, from the Roman Conquest to the present time. The author has especially had it in mind to show the growth of the political liberties and institutions of the English people; and to indicate, in some degree, in the chapters entitled Progress of the People, the changes in the social condition, and the advance in literature and the arts, of the English between one period and another. It has also been his earnest purpose and endeavor to relate events, and to describe persons, without bias or partiality; to avoid obtruding judgments Of his own on these events and persons; and to leave it to the reader to make up his judgment on the many disputed points in English history, from facts which have been accepted as true on all sides.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory History of England My own view is that English History should be an inheritance of childhood; that its legends and its romance should grow into our thoughts from very early years, and should expand themselves with the expansion of our minds; that we should feel History and dream of it rather than learn it as a lesson. Happy is that boy who, having so grown up with the story of his country, can people the fields and lanes of his home with the figures of the past; can hear the clatter of Rupert's horsemen down his village street, and can picture the good monks catching baskets-full of trout in the stream (there were more trout in it before the Reformation) wherein he is failing to get a rise.
