Download or read book The Story of Old France Classic Reprint written by H. A. Guerber and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Old France The aim of this volume is to give a complete graphic account of the main features of the history of France to 1715 A.D., with as much additional illuminating detail as limited space permits. Besides outlines of the principal events, this narrative includes many biographical sketches, together with the anecdotes and sayings to which allusions are often made in literature, politics, and art. It also gives such data in regard to places, public buildings, and works of art as the well informed like to have at their fingers' ends. As the book is intended mainly for youthful readers, due regard has been paid to moral teachings and to the judicious omission of harmful incidents. The book is arranged for elementary history classes, and for supplementary reading as well. Some acquaintance with the history of France is most helpful in understanding and studying literature, and English, American, Medieval, and General history. Besides, in schools where French is taught, it can serve as a work of reference for the pupils, who continually stumble across names and allusions which require elucidation. The author, therefore, hopes many schools will find this narrative useful in one or the other connection, and that it will appeal equally to teachers and pupils and perhaps to other readers also. Many names occur and recur in the text because familiarity with their appearance is desirable from an educational point of view.

Download or read book Easy French History written by Ernest Sicard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Easy French History: Edited for School Use Many teachers of French find that their stu dents do not understand and appreciate the works which they are called upon to read, because of their ignorance of the most ordinary facts of French history. How and when to give this necessary information has become a problem everywhere, and it is to aid in the solution of this problem that the present book has been pub lished. The work of a French teacher is, of course, to teach the French language, but the instructor who sees this task too narrowly will almost certainly fail. Many questions arise dur ing a year's reading which demand knowledge of an historical nature, and, although the teacher may do his duty as far as his time and the size of his class will allow, it is nevertheless only too true that students obtain little or no connected infor mation, unless such information is contained in the text which they read. The explanation given by the teacher in reading some episode of the Revolution or incident of the siege of Paris may be clear and to the point, but, as the majority of his listeners can in no way connect the facts with the past or with the present, the explanation as well as the story is forgotten before the next day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French History for English Children The country which we now call France was not always called so, nor were the people who live in it always called the French. When it is first mentioned, which is in old Latin books written more than 1800 years ago, it is called Gallia, or Gaul, and the people are spoken of as Gauls. Gaul was in some respects the same as France is now, and in some respects very different. It was the same, or nearly the same, in its mountains, rivers, and some of the chief towns it was different in its roads, fields, villages, and, more than all, in the people who lived in it. 'when I say that some of the towns were the same, I do not mean that they look the same now as they did then, but that the Gauls had towns in many of the places where the French now have them, and that they have lasted with almost the same names ever Since.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 1 That such a nation should have failed to find a competent En glish historian is strange, and the fact, I presume, is to be ascribed, not to the insular prejudices of English authors, among whom we naturally seek for one (for they have written of particular periods in the French annals both learnedly and well), but to the probable familiarity of the English reading public with the French histo rians themselves, whose labors, to those that' can read them, ren der any other attempts not only unnecessary, but presumptuous. But, if this may have been the case in England, it is certain that in this. Country, where we have no such general acquaintance with French literature, we need a history of France in the English lan guage. Now, as my studies had gradually led me over the whole field of French history, I came to conceive that I might perhaps turn the materials and the knowledge I had collected to some ao count in supplying this need. I will frankly confess, however, that the magnitude of the project frightened me for a long time from Preface to his History of France in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries.

Download or read book A History of France Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by J. R. Moreton Macdonald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France, Vol. 1 His book was in the press before anyone dreamt that we should be standing beside our traditional enemy on the very battlefields where we have so often confronted her. No alterations have been made to meet the new conditions: history can never be wholly free from bias, but a history of France written or revised during such a crisis as the present would be so biassed as to lose its value. I may, however, be allowed to say how conscious I am that I have overstated the temperamental characteristics, and in particular the temperamental weaknesses, of the French. The truly remarkable way in which, under the present trial, France has purified herself of her traditional vices and developed virtues which were supposed to be quite alien to her character drives one to the conclusion, not only that the temperamental qualities of nations change more rapidly than we have been accustomed to think, but also that they are often only qualities which have been foisted on nations by noisy minorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, Vol. 5 of 5 The present volume completes a History of France, written after a careful study of every available original source, with the sole desire of ascertaining the truth and without any bias of party policy or contemporaneous fashion. As the author announced in the first volume, his aim was to write French history from a point of View which should be English in its spirit, principles, and judgment, yet without jealousy or enmity towards a nation running the same race with ourselves, although in a different path. It is surely possible to be just and even friendly towards our neighbours, without adopting their opinions wholesale, and taking their rule as the measure not only of their merits but of our own. This nevertheless is what Englishmen have long been in the habit of doing. Of the histories of England which preceded that of Hume, the most popular and the most highly esteemed was written by a Frenchman. But although Hume's work displaced that of Rapin, Hume's views of England were taken altogether from the banks of the Seine, and his opinions were but the echoes of opinions current in French circles and saloons. What, again, is the new English school of thought which expresses sympathy with the acts of the French Revo vol. V.

In our cosmopolitan life, since we are in close touch with all peoples and are constantly hearing about them, there is need at least of the simplest elementary facts in the history of the great nations. The French people have held such a central position in thefworld's affairs, and have contributed so much to civilization, that the young student should at an early stage possess himself of the outlines Of their history. He is then enabled to put together the past and present Of that interesting country and to view the one in the light of the other.
