Download or read book A Short History of England and the British Empire Classic Reprint written by Laurence Marcellus Larson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of England, and the British Empire A narrative that takes into account. The expansion of England into Greater Britain necessarily carries the author far afield. To compress the story into a small manual like the present means that the topics to be discussed must be carefully chosen and a mass of interesting and even important materials must be excluded. The type of text-book that attempts to tell the story of national development with a fulness of detail is the despair of the teacher of history: the facts come in such throngs that very few of them are able to make any lastingimpression. The author has striven to avoid this by including such facts only as have seriously affected the course of English history or have definitely contributed to the building of the British Empire. It'is, of course, true that the demands of the narrative have frequently interfered with the con sistent application of this rule, but in the main it has been followed.

Download or read book An Outline Analysis of the History of England Revised Classic Reprint written by Clarence Perkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline Analysis of the History of England (Revised) This Outline is a revision and enlargement of the An Outline Analysis of the History of England prepared by the writer for the use of his classes in English History at the Ohio State University in 1912. This won favor and the writer hopes that the following outline bringing the skeleton of the facts down to 1914 may be of some assistance to other teachers and students of English History. The purpose of the outline is not to provide a general summary of the facts, but merely a scheme of organization to suggest to the student what topics to emphasize in his reading and to teach him to-distinguish between essentials and non-essentials. Hence the facts are not usually stated, but the student is left to work them out from his readings in text books and reference books. It is assumed that the student will read thoroughly a good college text-book of English History such as Cross, History of England and Greater Britain, or Tout, Advanced History of Great Britain. In addition to the text-book students should read part or all the references to other books. Where the numerals (3) each precede a reference -to a different book, it is suggested that the student read any one reference. Such references as have been included in the Outline are not a complete bibliography, but merely suggestions for reading.

This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Steps in the History of England The history of England! 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.

Download or read book Mighty England written by William Elliot Griffis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mighty England: The Story of the English People To write this book for young Americans, I travelled eight times in England and also visited often Ger many, the Netherlands, and France - countries from which the ancestors of the English people, for the most part, came. It was like tracing a river to its source to go back from the island to the High Dutch Of the German mountains, and like drifting down the flood to stay among the Low Dutch in Holland and Belgium. In France it was more like sailing on the lake, and in Italy, like rowing on a pond. Out Of these countries streams of men and influence have flowed into Great Britain. Yet it was from the Germanic and Norse lands that the great body of ideas and customs of the many tribes that made the English nation came. I have gone into caves and crypts, seen barrows and mounds excavated, and visited the old moot places of the Salic Franks, as well as museums and archives, and have seen corona tions, parades, and pageants. I have studied what my friend, the late Edward A. Freeman, called Eng lish People in its Three Homes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
