Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Summary of Modern History IN the Ancient History of Europe the scene is occupied alternately by two predominant nations or peoples and for the most part there is a unity both of action and interest. This unity, which is less visible in the Middle Ages, reappears in Modern History, and manifests itself chiefly in the revolutions of the Balance of Power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Is Modern History? Students of history must to-day find encouragement in the generous hospitality everywhere accorded the study of this subject. Once regarded as one of the accomplishments to be pursued in fashionable boarding schools and practically ignored elsewhere in the educational system, it has now won for itself an assured place and a large and influential clientele. Legislatures are prescribing the study of history in the public schools, colleges are requiring it for admission to their courses, newspapers are advocating its study, while ignorance of history is the unpardonable sin in the eyes of the occasional correspondent who writes for the daily press. But all is not peace within the walls of Jerusalem. The controversy that was once waged over the desirability of the study of history has now shifted to a consideration of what special field of history should be studied and in this discussion the advocates of the study of modem history are insistent in pressing their claims.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Summary of History: Designed to Accompany Lord's Modern History The following Summary I have used in my history classes, for the past three years. Spending but a few moments on it daily, before the recitation from the history, we have been able to keep clearly and pleasantly before our minds, the review-lessons of the book, while constantly advancing. In order sufficiently to aid the memory, I have in many cases taken more than the mere topic, while in others, that has seemed all that was necessary, to give a clear idea, of the subject to be enlarged upon. The great events of this century, I have but mentioned, feeling perfectly incompetent to dwell upon them, without Dr. Lord's assistance. This Summary has been very helpful to me, and I hope other teachers may find it useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Modern History, From the Irruption of the Northern Nations to the Close of the American Revolution Nothing so much embarrasses a student, who is beginning the study of history, as the difficulty he finds in selecting the best authors, ascertaining their intrinsic and relative merits, and in marking out for himself the most profitable course of reading. He is bewildered amidst a multitude of books, and perpetually at a loss, as he proceeds, to determine the comparative importance of periods, events, and characters. If he seeks a guide, he is either met by a dry catalogue of authors, arranged with little discrimination, or referred to abridgments and abstracts, as destitute of the soul and substance of history, properly so called, as a skeleton is of the spirit and proportions of a living man. His time is thus lost and his patience exhausted, while he makes scarcely any progress in those acquisitions which it is the design of history to communicate, and by which the mind should be expanded and strengthened at the same time that it is enriched with facts. Professor Smyth has undertaken to remove these obstacles; and, if we may judge by the manner in which his task has been executed in these volumes, it is safe to say that it could not have fallen into more skilful or experienced hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 4: The Thirty Years' War In bringing out the present volume, the Editors cannot but once more refer to a loss x which they have suffered, together with all students of English history. It had been the hope of Lord Acton, and for a time it was ours, that the eminent historian of England under James I. And Charles I, under the Commonwealth, and during the earlier part of the Protectorate, would have contributed to this work a complete summary of a period of English history to whose struggles we mainly owe the preservation of our constitutional liberties. But Dr S. R. Gardiner was only able to write for our History the first of the chapters undertaken by him, in which he gave proof of his close study of the connexion between English and Continental affairs. This chapter was printed in an earlier volume of this work; those dealing With the reign of Charles I and the ensuing years have been contributed by other writers, friends and fellow-workers of the historian whom we have lost.

This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of Recent European History, 1815-1916 This outline with the accompanying references is a revision and enlargement of An Outline for the History of Europe Since 1815 prepared in 1913 for the use of students at the Ohio State University. Like its predecessor it contains much fuller references on the period since 1870 than on the earlier years. Both Hazen's Europe Since 1915 and the second volume of Hayes's Political and Social History of Mod ern Europe have been followed in preparing the outline; and references to both these excellent books have been appended to most of the topics. Students should read one or both of these and at least one of the Additional References under each special topic. The purpose of the outline is not to provide a brief summary of the facts, predigested mental pabulum, as it were; but to provide a scheme of organization, to suggest to the student what he is to look for as he reads, and to teach liim 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 reference readings both in Hazen and Hayes and the Additional References.

Download or read book Reading References for English History Classic Reprint written by Henry Lewin Cannon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reading References for English History Part II, pages 165 - 468, consists of Topics and References arranged in eighty-seven sections, which fall into nine groups. The arrangement of the sections according to the reigns of monarchs, and of the groups according to the duration of dynasties, is not due to any predilection of the compiler, but to the practical consideration that books are largely written along these lines and are in this way most readily broken into references. Each dynastic group usually closes with a general section devoted to society or institutions, because many works devote space at those points to a consideration or recapitulation of such topics. Each section contains a summary of subtopics. Here again the compiler has not sought to force his material into any preconceived mold, but has merely collected it and arranged the usual well-known topics and expressed them in the most commonly used phrases. If by chance unsuitable topics have crept in, it is to be hoped that no one will waste time in hunting them up. In each section, following the summary, are to be found references to Sources, which are for the most part a little more difficult for the untrained reader to use than the Modern Ac counts which follow. He who reads in the Sources, however, will eventually be richly repaid, experiencing a satisfaction and attaining historical insight not vouchsafed to readers who keep to the beaten track of the Modern Accounts.
