Download or read book A Guide to British Historical Fiction Classic Reprint written by J. A. Buckley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to British Historical Fiction NO attempt need be made to demonstrate the value of historical fiction as a handmaiden to history proper. Prompted by the consideration that teachers of History have rarely sufficient time to read or to search for suitable novels to recommend to their pupils, the authors have prepared this guide in the hope that it Will be found useful to teachers in Secondary and Elementary Schools, and by students of History generally. The list, which is representative and not exhaustive, has been compiled with a view to illustrating every phase of British History to which reference is usually made in an ordinary School course. In the case of events which might be termed historical landmarks, a wider range of choice has been presented, and efforts have been made to include books which treat of the events from different, and often conflicting, points of View. In certain periods, mediocre works have, faute de mieux, found a place, while in others, e.g., the Civil War, the Revolution, the 'forty-five, the 'ninety-eight, the task has been that of selection rather than that of investigation. Some works which are out of print have been included, but libraries - private and public - are still stocked with many of these the same consideration has led to the inclusion of most of the works of Ainsworth, James and other standard authors, whose volumes decorate - and, it is to be feared, Often gather dust on the bookshelves of many English households. In the late 19th Century it has been necessary to tread warily, and novels dealing with controversial and debatable questions have been largely excluded. In conclusion, it should be observed that perfect accuracy is not claimed for the dates assigned to the books: they are intended to point out rather than to point the period.

Download or read book History of the English People Vol 1 of 5 Classic Reprint written by John Richard Green and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the English People, Vol. 1 of 5 IT was a favourite wish of my husband's to see English History interpreted and illustrated by pictures which should tell us how men and things appeared to the lookers-on of their own day, and how contemporary observers aimed at representing them. This new edition of his book is an attempt to carry out such an idea. It has seemed most fitting to choose for the purpose the work of the writer who by the brilliance of his historic imagination has recovered for Englishmen many regions of the past left waste and neglected, and brought to light costly treasures that had long lain hidden in some of its most obscure corners. The Short History, with its vivid realization of all that goes to make up the life of a People, lends itself in a singular way to illustrations which are themselves the work of the people century by century, and the wisdom of the historian is constantly justified as the details of some vivid description, or the significance with which some in cident is clothed, or the new measure and proportion given to facts that before his time were common and despised, are finely emphasized by the work of old scribes or artists to whom all these things were present realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revolutions in English History, Vol. 1 In taking up such a theme as the Revolutions in English History, it is probable that no two writers would be agreed as to the best method of dealing with it-or as to the principle that should determine the selection of material, and where to stop. On these points, and on many beside, I have to throw myself on the candour of the reader. The course I have taken has been chosen after the best thought I could bestow on the subject. In the further prosecution of my object, I hope to avail myself freely of the rich material in the State Paper Office, still in manuscript, and which, thanks to the present Master of the Rolls, is becoming more accessible every day for the pur poses of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in Short Stories This little book is not designed to be a History of England. It is, first, a compendium of facts about England, its history, government, and antiquities, - facts which all English-speaking people ought to know, and which are not readily accessible to those Americans who do not have good libraries at hand. It contains, secondly, a series of sketches of each of the English monarchs; not histories of their reigns or complete biographies, but estimates of the historical importance of each. The English kings previous to the Hanoverians are the central figures of English history. The dates and other facts here given have been collated with the greatest care. The intelligent reader need not be informed that Freeman, J. R. Green, Pearson, and others are entirely reconstructing English history, and fresh estimates of men and events are resulting.

D. 1901 IN writing this book an endeavor has been made to interest boys and girls in English history by stories of some of its great events and of some of the great men who adorn its pages. This aim being kept steadily in view throughout, it seemed right to select certain important incidents and characters, and to deal with them in some detail and in as interesting a way as possible, rather than to load the pages with a multitude of names and dates, in the vain effort to crowd into a few pages a continu ous history which should be at once full and inter esting. Yet it is believed that no important events or personages have been entirely neglected, while particular attention has been directed toward those of chief significance to American boys and gifls.

Download or read book The Quaker Soldier Or the British in Philadelphia written by John Richter Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-03 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quaker Soldier, or the British in Philadelphia: An Historical Novel After London and Paris, Philadelphia contests, with our other great American city, the third rank in Christendom. More than half a million inhabitants vast domestic commerce - still vaster handicraft and manufacturing industry - material resources not rivaled on this Continent, if anywhere - well entitle Philadel phia to feel herself one of the great cities of the world. Yet a short three quarters of a century ago she was a provincial town of under forty thousand inhabitants. This unparalleled growth has occurred in the lifetime of many of us, under our very eyes; and does not astonish us as if it were a fact of history, seen through the vista of distance. Philadelphia is but one of many great cities which. Have kept even pace until a civic cluster has grown up, the like nowhere else seen now, nor ever, except in the Magna Graecia of Ancient Italy. Where else - in what single nation of modern times - do we find four such cities as Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, in such close proximity? France has her Paris, but where are her three other cities comparable to ours? Austria has her Vienna, but what else? Even England has no second city to contest the palm with the second of our glorious galaxy. The rise of our great cities is but one chapter. A lifetime ago reaches beyond the birth of the Great Republic. Within that brief period - that single point on the surface of history - a great power has grown up, indisputably of the first class among the nations of the earth. Men have witnessed great em pires formed gradually, like Rome and Russia; or rapidly, like Alexander's, Genghis Khan's, and Na poleon's; but they were the gathering under one government of nations already in being, without any real increase of resources, and often with a loss. Ours is a new creation, not a mere concentration; ours is a new power, created out of the raw material of national greatness. Where else does a single lifetime cover similar grand results?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Simple Stories From English History for Young Readers Long, long ago the people who lived in this land were the Celts. They came from the far east, and moving to the west, they came at length to the great sea that stopped them from going any farther. Some of them came to dwell in the land in which we now live. They could not read or write, and so they could not leave behind them books to tell us about them. But at the time in which they lived, there were men who lived in other lands, who could both read and write, and these have left writings that tell us much about the Celts. From these writings we learn, that the Celts were tall, strong men, with bright blue eyes, and long fair hair that hung down their backs.
