Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of England, And, No Thoroughfare: With Introduction, Critical Comments, Notes, Etc Thus the book is not educational. It may be said that a child does not need to be taught the meaning of events, but only to learn (probably he will never learn more) about Alfred and the cakes, about the curfew-bell, Perkin Warbeck, Mary and Elizabeth, Fair Rosamond, the death of Charles I., the coming of the Prince of Orange, Jane Shore, and so on. Scientific writers on education may argue the point, but probably Dickens did not aim at a school-book. He wanted to interest (nor is it useful to write history which does not interest) and to propagate his own ideas, which are not historical, but are always op posed to cruelty and oppression. It is superfluous to point out errors. Dickens denies to the early Celtic people of the island the use of coins: they made no coins. One appeals to Sir John Evans and the museums. Had Kent a white horse for standard before the English invasion? The neighings of the wild white horse are not British, in the Idylls of the King. Did the Druids erect Stonehenge, keeping the people out of sight while they made these buildings, which demanded the labour of a whole population? What hills in Scot land are supposed to be the cairns of the Caledonians who fell in resisting Agricola? Who supposes that they had this origin?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Condition of the Working Class in England is one of the best-known works of Friedrich Engels. Originally written in German as Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in England, it is a study of the working class in Victorian England. It was also Engels' first book, written during his stay in Manchester from 1842 to 1844. Manchester was then at the very heart of the Industrial Revolution, and Engels compiled his study from his own observations and detailed contemporary reports. Engels argues that the Industrial Revolution made workers worse off. He shows, for example, that in large industrial cities mortality from disease, as well as death-rates for workers were higher than in the countryside. In cities like Manchester and Liverpool mortality from smallpox, measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough was four times as high as in the surrounding countryside, and mortality from convulsions was ten times as high as in the countryside. The overall death-rate in Manchester and Liverpool was significantly higher than the national average (one in 32.72 and one in 31.90 and even one in 29.90, compared with one in 45 or one in 46). An interesting example shows the increase in the overall death-rates in the industrial town of Carlisle where before the introduction of mills (1779–1787), 4,408 out of 10,000 children died before reaching the age of five, and after their introduction the figure rose to 4,738. Before the introduction of mills, 1,006 out of 10,000 adults died before reaching 39 years old, and after their introduction the death rate rose to 1,261 out of 10,000.

Download or read book American Military History Volume 1 written by Army Center of Military History and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In particular, the explosion of missions and deployments since 11 September 2001 has necessitated the creation of additional, open-ended chapters in the story of the U.S. Army in action. This first volume covers the Army's history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917, the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war-global war-was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century and the early years of the war on terrorism and includes an analysis of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq up to January 2009.
