Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Medieval and Modern History This volume is intended to provide sufficient supplementary read ing, chiefly of a biographical or narrative character, for a high - school course in medieval and modern history. The arrangement Of the volume is the same as that Of my earlier Readings in Ancient History. Each chapter deals with a single epoch or personality and presents the work Of a single author. The passages quoted are long enough to make a definite impression on the reader, thus avoiding the scrappy effect necessarily produced by a set of short, unrelated extracts. Since many Of the selections are good literature as well as good history, I hope that students will be tempted to turn to the original sources from which excerpts have been taken, and to read in them at length for their own enjoyment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mediaeval and Modern History The revised text of my Medieval and Modern History has already appeared in a two-volume edition under the titles of T lie Middle Ages and The Modern Age. It is here presented, somewhat abridged, in a single illustrated book designed as a companion volume to my revised Ancient History. The lists of books for further reading and study appended to the different chapters are in the main a selection from the fuller bibliographies of the earlier revised edition. The series of maps includes all the more important ones of that impression, besides fifteen new colored maps, eleven of which have been engraved expressly for the present work. The two entitled respectively The Danelaw and Angevin Dominions are taken by kind permission from Professor Edward P. Cheyney's A Short History of England, while Europe after 1815 and Europe at the Present Time are through like courtesy drawn from Professor James Harvey Robinson's An Introduction to the History of Western E rope.

Download or read book Medieval and Modern History Classic Reprint written by Hutton Webster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medieval and Modern History This book, as the title indicates, covers both the Middle Ages and modern times. The chapters treating the period from the sixth to the seventeenth century are reproduced from my Early European History, with minor modifications and with additional maps and illustrations. The entire work has been written since the outbreak of the World War, and its probable consequences have been kept constantly in mind. If it be true, as Bishop Stubbs once said, that nothing in the past is dead to the man who would learn how the present comes to be what it is, then surely the prime business of the author of a text-book dealing with European history is to make plain the remoter causes, as well as the immediate ante cedents, of a struggle epochal in the life of humanity. How far I have succeeded in doing so must be left to the reader's judgment. The Suggestions for Further Study contain a classified and annotated bibliography of those historical works which appear to be reasonably well adapted to the needs of pupils in secondary schools. References to the appropriate chapters of my Readings in Medieval and M odern History are also inserted in footnotes. This volume consists of extracts from the sources, chiefly of a biographical or narrative character. As stated in the preface, Each chapter deals with a single epoch or personality and presents the work of a single author. The passages quoted are long enough to make a definite impression on the reader, thus avoiding the scrappy effect necessarily produced by a set of short, unrelated extracts. Since many of the selections are good literature as well as good history, I hope that students will be tempted to turn to the original sources from which excerpts have been taken, and to read in them at length for their own enjoyment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Documents: Illustrating Medieval and Modern History Secondly, that these general facts have at all, times dominated the particular facts. Thirdly, that these general facts cannot be explained nor accounted for by a mere enumeration or collocation of an ever so large number of particular facts.' They need, on the contrary, a consideration of their own from a point of view different from that required for the study of special facts. It has been the editor's object to state and account for those general facts that, in his opinion, are the dominating powers in all European history. This he has, after thirty years' study of documents, books, and historic maps, together with extensive travels in Europe and America, tried to do in his General story (two vols., now in the press). On the basis of the material and thought so collected from books and life and professional teaching of history, the editor has drawn up his plan for the present work.

Download or read book New Medieval and Modern History written by Samuel Bannister Harding and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Medieval and Modern History This book is something more than a revision of the author's Essentials in Mediæval and Modern History. As the task of revision progressed, its scope was so enlarged that, by reorganization, extension, and rewriting, the result became practically a new work. It has been deemed best, therefore, to give to the book a distinctive name, and at the same time to continue the publication of the old volume. In general the aim in this book has been to decrease the amount of space devoted to political and military details, and to increase the emphasis on social, industrial, and cultural topics. Full treatment also is given to the important events which have occurred since the Essentials in Mediæval and Modern History was first published. Instead of treating these in a supplementary chapter, they have been woven, so far as practical, into their logical places in the narrative. In conformity with what is now the established tendency, greater emphasis has been put on the events of our own time than on those of former ages. It is now generally recognized that a leading aim of the study of history is to enable one to understand the world of to-day. Profuse and adequate illustrations and maps are inserted in proper relation to the text. It is believed that the breaking up of the chapters into lettered subdivisions will facilitate the assignment of lessons, and it is hoped that the new teaching apparatus will prove especially useful. A table of rulers is inserted at the beginning of the volume for convenience of reference; lists of important dates follow the several chapters; and in connection with each search topic a few carefully selected references are printed to guide the pupil in his collateral reading. No pains have been spared to adapt the book to the needs of the schools and to the powers of the pupils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Medieval and Modern Europe The attempt has been made to narrate the history of the more important countries together in chronological order, in stead of giving to each a separate treatment, and so obliging the reader to move forward and backward along the Chrono logical series and, by an unusual effort of attention, make the necessary correlation of events, or fail to gain an adequate con ception of the progress of Europe as a whole. Many events in one country directly affected events in another or at least illustrated similar tendencies in thought or in institutions. The result of the attempt to narrate the history of Europe in this way may occasionally seem to lack the compactness and clearness of a separate treatment, but it Should possess the advantages of a larger unity, making intelligible what might otherwise seem the consequence of individual caprice or of chance. This method should also accustom the pupil to group events, in order by discovering their relations to gain more of their meaning.
