Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child's First History of Rome Another consequence of the present temper of the public, is a flood of fictitious works designed. For the perusal of the young. In these works, a series of imaginary facts is made a vehicle to con vey moral and religious information, Such facts, of course, beyond their immediate use, possess no value; and it may be seriously questioned, whether the lessons-they convey, wanting, as they do, the authority which real facts impart, possess more. Be this as it may, all must admit that these lessons make, but a slight impres sionna the feelings and memory in comparison with the interest awakened by the incidents of the story nand its progress to the catastrophe; while the distaste thus engendered for less exciting though infinitely more useful reading, 1s a positive injury for which they offer no equivalent or compensation Whatever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 It was a very famous place, the Forum; and I have said this much about it in order that you may have some picture of it in your eye when you hear it mentioned in this history. There were many temples at Rome, but as they long ago crumbled into dust, we know little or no thing about them. There was an aqueduct, called the Appian Aqueduct after its builder, an old Ro man named Aprwe claudius, about whom there were many famous stories. This aqueduct brought water to the city from a source eight miles off. And there was a great drain, which, I think, was the most wonderful work of ancient Rome. People said it had been built by an old king of Rome, whose name was servius tullius, two hundred years ago and more: any how, it was very old, and so wide that a cart and horse could drive through it, and so strong that it does its duty still, and not a stone of it has mouldered away. I wonder how our drains will look two thousand years hence! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child's First History of Rome The solicitude, so generally disclosed, to make every department of knowledge accessible to the young by means of works adapted to their intellectual capacity and progress, is one of the most remarkable characteristics of the present age. The men are now living, who can recollect the period when instruction in our best schools, limited to two or three indispensable studies, was conveyed through the medium of text-books which were scarcely intelligible even to the teacher; much less to the pupil committed to his care: when works of general information, fitted to instruct as well as amuse the juvenile mind, written for its use and adjusted to its powers, would have been sought for in vain: when, in fact, the best reading of all who were short of the age of puberty, comprised little except absurd and incredible tales of enchantment and magic. Now, what a change! Not only has the principle of adaptation to the intellectual development of the young been recognised, and, with nearly mathematical precision, applied in our schools, but numerous additional studies, acknowledged to be important, have been successfully introduced, and the means of pursuing them amply provided; and, instead of the wretched compilations from an age of barbarism and superstition, in which the young formerly found their entertainment at the fireside, we have teeming libraries, rich in the various treasures of science, of literature, and of art: including works in every branch of knowledge, written expressly for them, and, in the main, admirably fitted, at the same time, to gratify and excite thirst for information in their tender minds. The best things, however, are liable to abuse; the noblest ideas are ever in most danger of being pushed to extremes; and the prevailing anxiety, daily augmenting, to secure suitable and sufficient intellectual food for the young, has been productive of some consequences, which cannot be contemplated by the judicious with unmixed pleasure: hardly without regret.

This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Roman People an Elementary History of Rome There is little that is of more practical value to the young folk of to-day than the history of Rome. How a village king dom became a mighty republic, how the republic became a world-embracing empire, how that empire, the dread and pride of its millions of subjects, fell so low as to become the sport Of its own soldiers all this is, indeed, a tale of mar vel. But the history of Rome is more than a mere story. Many of the difficulties and many of the advantages Of the Roman Republic are akin to those of the American Repub lic. The solution of such problems as have already presented themselves in the United States is even now demanding the highest Wisdom Of the land. Other problems will arise in the near future. Roman history is a mighty object lesson, of value. To every citizen of our Republic, of especial value to the children into Whose hands the government will so speed ily pass. What is learned in years of maturity is an addi tion to one's mental equipment; what is learned in child hood becomes a part of the mind itself. That those Who read this book may find it of interest to-day, of service to morrow, is the Wish Of the author. Eva march tappan. March 1, 1910.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From the History of Rome The writer of this little book was not satisfied that her children should hear nothing but fairy tales and the stories of nursery life, now so popular. But she could find nothing else fit to read to them. There are, indeed, plenty of story-books drawing their materials from history, and professing to be intended for children. But they are not suited to very young children. They abound in words and ideas which a child of four or six years old not only does not understand, but cannot be made to understand. The writer, however, believed that it was quite possible to put portions of Livy and Plutarch into language which should need little or no explanation even to children of that age. She accordingly made the experiment. One story after another was written and read to her little boys. Whenever she discovered that a word or idea was unintelligible to them, she took pains to simplify it. She found that they thoroughly enjoyed these old tales from Roman history, and liked to hear them repeated again and again.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smaller History of Rome: From the Earliest Times to the Establishment of the Empire The booty found in the captured city was immense: besides the money in the royal treasury, which was set apart for the coffers of the state, Marcellus carried off many of the works of art with which the city had been adorned, to grace his own triumph and the tem ples at Rome. This was the first instance of a practice which after ward became so general; and it gave great offense not only to the Greeks of Sicily, but to a large party at Rome itself.
