Download or read book Text Book of English History from the Earliest Times written by Osmund Airy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book of English History From the Earliest Times: For Colleges and Schools I'r rs hoped that this may prove useful as a text-book both for teachers and for those students who, while their knowledge of facts is incomplete, are mature enough to desire to connect events with their causes and effects, and to feel an interest in constitutional questions. It is seldom that any general view of a period is grasped by a learner. I have endeavoured to deal with this difficulty partly by care in the headings of books and chapters, partly by short summaries. The facts upon which these summaries are based are given in the fullest detail possible in the space to t hich the narrative is necessarily confined. Frequent reference has been made in the notes to authorities. This has been done not so much to support the statements in the text as with the hope that the reader may be induced to turn to the books thus brought to his notice. The rapid spread of the Free Library movement renders it probable that before long the greater number of them will be easily accessible to most students. I have not hesitated now and 'again to mention works of comparative rarity, for the benefit of those who, as in the city from which I write, possess the advantage of libraries of the highest class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Epitome of English History: With Questions for Examination This little manual is offered to Teachers and Students of English History, with the hope that it may supply a want which the compiler has found unmet by any of the existing text-books. It is by no means designed to supersede the study of more comprehensive class-books of English History, but merely to act as a hand-maiden to them, by presenting in a condensed form the principal dates and facts which, when once fixed in the memory, will add greatly to the facility and enjoyment of more extended study. It was at first designed to limit the use of this little work solely to the pupils for whom it has been prepared, but the success which has attended its partial application in manuscript has induced its publication, in the hope that it may be profitable to others who are interested in this noble study.

Download or read book Armstrong s Primer of English History for School and Family Use Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Armstrong's Primer of English History for School and Family Use An opinion has prevailed among able teachers that text-books are, as a rule, too large and too unwieldy. Experience has shown that beginners learn more rapidly and remember the facts much longer from small books containing the salient points of the subject logically arranged. This is especially true of the study of history. The student needs at first a clear, firm outline; and this once acquired, the subsequent fiUing-in can be accomplished with ease and without the aid of an instructor. It is now several years since the author of this little book saw with pleasure the announcement that a Primer of English History was in preparation for the admirable series edited by the late J.R. Green. But the feeling of pleasure was changed to disappointment when the announcement proved to be without foundation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Nation, or a History of England in the Lives of Englishmen, Vol. 1 If the mind of our reader turns to any period in our annals, and longs for a living display Of the national characteristics by which it was distinguished, he has but to turn to the lives Of the master spirits, who gave it not only its complexion, but were the appointed instruments in the hand of providence of all its changes and wonders. Whether the man Of business at his desk, the mechanic in his workshop, the idler on his couch, or the man Of letters in his study, he has but to turn to them for a brief interval, and he will behold, for every period and age, the very embroidered and moving scene that he has been seeking to understand and to sympathise with, in a way, so far as the effect and the cause are concerned, not unlike that which Shakspeare's Historical Plays, and Sir Walter Scott's Historical Romances produce upon the vivid imagination.

Download or read book English Literature Classic Reprint written by John Calvin Metcalf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Literature The writer of this volume has tried to furnish students and general readers with a clear and concise account of English literature and its makers from the beginnings to the present day. The influences of social and other movements on literary develop ment have been brought out in the brief introductions to the chapters. The biographies set forth the important facts of the authors' careers without extensive comment. This is in accord with the present writer's conviction that much ready-made inter pretation of conditions and motives, after the setting of an author's work and his characteristics have been made clear, is a hindrance rather than a help to students. Since literature is in a peculiar sense an expression of personality, an attempt has been made to sum up the personal traits of each prominent author in a para. Graph or two. Wherever an author's contribution has proved epoch-making in literary history, that fact is given special promi nence in a final summary.
