Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Modern Europe The text which follows differs from the many inter esting and valuable school histories which have preceded it in laying greater emphasis upon the Contemporary Period. This change of values reflects, I think, the ten deney of American schools of history, and these in turn are responding to the growing world-interests of the American people. An expansion of the Nineteenth Cen tury implies a corresponding contraction in the earlier centuries, the period of historical instruction remaining constant. It is a pity, when the history of Europe is everywhere so attractive; but it is inevitable. Our fore fathers were content with classical, and often with myth ical personages we have been made to comprehend our Luther and Loyola, our Mirabeau and Napoleon; and. Our children will have to make more room for their Ca vour, their Bismarck, and their Gladstone. It is a choice of benefits, and there are many substantial reasons why, in the building up of a system of popular education, the present should not be sacrificed to the past.

Download or read book A History of Medieval and Modern Europe Classic Reprint written by Henry E. Bourne and published by Forgotten 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome and the Making of Modern Europe IN 1886 - 7 the author Of this book prepared a primer of Roman history upon a plan devised by John H. Vincent. The volume, which was entitled An Outline History of Rome, was placed upon the Chautauqua reading course for. The en suing year, where it gave a considerable degree Of satis faction - perhaps quite as much as was to be expected of a sketch so brief and bony. The aim Of the book had been to restrict the work to the Significant events and important actors, sacrificing dramatic form and picturesque detail to the necessity Of condensation. The present work is an extension of the Outline History, so as to cover the historical period which bridges the gap be tween the Roman Empire and Modern Europe.

Download or read book Modern Europe Classic Reprint written by Harrison C. Thomas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Europe Since large numbers of pupils begin the study of modern history with no previous course in ancient or medieval history, the first two sections are devoted to a survey of the institutions of the eighteenth century with a brief account of the development of those institutions from earlier ones. It is hoped that these sections will strengthen the idea of continuity - that all history is the story of institutions and ideas changing to meet changed conditions. Anyone who wishes to give a true picture of modern Europe and its development must deal with many controversial questions. Of course no one yet knows the correct answer to many of the problems raised in this book. We have tried to give both sides of these ques tions, not always attempting to conceal our own opinions. To safe guard pupils against opinions that may be unsound we have advised them in Chapter I that this book, like any other on history, must be studied with a critical point of view. In the questions for discussion at the end of each chapter we have further challenged them to test their own opinions against ours. We urge teachers to encourage pupils to question opinions expressed here and elsewhere, believing that a critical attitude toward all sources of information is one of the most valuable products of good teaching. We are indebted to too many of our friends in schools and colleges to make any list of their names or give any adequate expression of our appreciation for their advice and criticism. We are especially indebted to hundreds of our pupils who have served as laboratory material and from whom we have learned more than they have from us. In their name, then, we humbly dedicate this text to the thou sands of boys and girls in the secondary schools of the country, with the hope that it will help them to grow in understanding of the world in which they find themselves.

This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of Modern Europe (1250-1450) Naturally these conceptions solidified into institutions. Out of the notion of the reality of abstract ideas grew up the great sys tem of the scholastic philosophy. If it were indeed true that there was a determined volume of religious truth, then it followed that there must be some human organization by which that truth should be made known to men, and that was the Church, an abstraction made concrete in the Roman papal system. If the idea of power were indeed a divine concept, then there must be some human order in which the divine will should have made this abstraction also concrete, and there was the beautiful feudal hierarchy, inde dependent of all limitations of country or of race, culminating in that mysterious idea of the Mediaeval Empire, which was to be, above all other earthly powers, the interpreter of the divine order in human affairs, responsible to God alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Modern Europe Outwardly, Europe of the Middle Ages presented a sad contrast to the magnificence of an Empire which was fading to remoteness year by year. The ugly towns did not attempt to hide their squalor, when dirt was such a natural condition of life that a knight would dwell boastfully upon his contempt for cleanliness, and a beauty display hands innocent of all proper tending. The dress of the people was ill-made and scanty, lacking the severe grace of the Roman toga. Furniture was rudely hewn from wood and placed on floors which were generally uneven and covered with straw instead of being paved with tessellated marble.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern European History America 'has come to realize how ignorant she has been of Euro pean history and of European conditions and how heavily that ignorance has cost her. Not only her citizens but also her official leaders, high and low, have frequently revealed, during the appalling crises of the last five years, a lamentable and dangerous lack of comprehension of things vital to their own welfare and to the welfare of the world. As a nation we have successfully muddled through the great entanglement of our times, but it is not safe for nations, any more than for individuals, to muddle, since the issue may not always be happy, and is at any rate always purchased at too high a price. It ought to be clear even to the blind, after the events of the past five years, that the destinies of America and Europe are not dis connected but are inextricably intertwined and will remain so.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Modern Europe, 1792-1878 The object of this work is to show how the States of Europe have gained the form and character which they possess at the present moment. The outbreak of the Revolutionary War in 1792, terminating a period which now appears far removed from us, and setting in motion forces which have in our own day produced a united Germany and a united Italy, forms the natural starting-point of a history of the present century. Ihave endeavoured to tell a simple story, believing that a. Narrative in which facts are chosen for their significance, and exhibited in their real connection, may be made to convey as true an impression as a fuller history in which the writer is not forced by the necessity of concentration to exercise the same rigour towards himself and his materials. The second volume of the work will bring the reader down to the year 1848: the third, down to the present time.
