Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Rome: From the Earliest Times to the Death of Commodus, A. D. 192 It is a fact which can not but be surprising to every one who has at all looked into the subject, that, notwithstanding the extraordinary efforts which have within the last thirty or forty years been made by great men of all countries in investigating the History of Rome - her Constitution, Laws, Religion, Literature, and Social condition - and notwithstanding the important results which have not only changed the aspect of the early History of Rome, but have, at the same time, given a different tone and color to the later history of that extraordinary nation - the books on Roman History which are used in our schools still continue, to a great extent, to be what they were half a century ago. Old errors and misconceptions, which have long since been exposed and exploded by scholars, are daily repeated and impressed upon the mind and memory of the rising generation, and the student is left to discover these errors at a maturer age, when it is not always an easy matter to get rid of them. But why, in the name of truth, should boys continue to learn that which has been proved again and again to be false and incorrect, and which afterward they have to unlearn? The teacher has so much to do in storing the minds of his pupils with knowledge, and in training their mental powers to independent activity, that it is worse than waster of time to teach that which is false or unsound, and which, in the progress of their studies, must prove an obstacle rather than an assistance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Rome: From the Earliest Times to the Death of Commodus, A. D. 192 A nation which has exercised such an influence upon the fate of its cotemporaries, and upon posterity, has a claim to the most careful consideration of every thinking man; and all that can be said of the importance of history in general holds good in a much higher degree in that of Rome. As there is no modern nation whose history pre sents so many points of resemblance and comparison with that of Rome as the English, so the history of Rome de serves the greatest attention of every Englishman, who has nere an opportunity of seeing the history of his own coun try, as it were, foreshadowed in a mirror. There is a class of persons who look at all historical studies, and more es pecially at the study of antiquity, with disregard, if not with contempt, and at best treat it only as a matter of curiosity. Such a mode of thinking, however, is only the fruit of ig norance, which generally depreciates that which lies be yond its comprehension; and, surely, no one ought to listen to the advice of persons who talk about things of which they are ignorant. That school of modern philosophy, moreover, which would fain turn our eyes from the past, and persuade us to look only to the present and the future, is of the very shallowest kind it removes from under our feet the firm ground on which we stand, and shows as much wisdom as it would if it taught us to believe that men were made for flying instead of walking. He who wishes to comprehend the resent, and divine the future, must take his lessons from the past; for it is there that he finds the roots of the present, and the germs of the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reference Handbook of Roman History: From the Earliest Times to the Death of Commodus, 753 B. C. 192 A. D.; By the Library Method, for Schools and Colleges The accompanying work is the outcome of several years of experience and experiment in the teaching of History. The frequent complaint, I don't like History, led to discard ing the old method of assigning a uniform lesson from a single text-book, with its brief outline of important events. Mommsen's four-volume History of Rome, Philip Smith's three-volume History of the World, and two or three brief school text-books by different authors, were placed upon the teacher's desk. Several topics were written on the blackboard, and the class told to look them up in any of the aforesaid books. The inability of the young pupil to use a library became at once appar ent. He could not find his way among the multitude of minor details and side issues in the more elaborate works. Thus, learning to use books became a practical part of the advantage in this method. To avoid unnecessary discouragement attendant on this experience, the teacher added to the topics the volume, and later, the pages, on which the essentials of the subject were to be found. The topics are arranged, so far as possible, in a chronological order; but when unity of subject has occasionally demanded it, chronology has. Been sacrificed to logic.
