Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Point of View in History A distinctly less favorable condition is found when the biographer, although belonging to the same century with the subject of the biography, is of a different nationality, and when he speaks a different language. Thereby will. Result, even if not always perceptible to the biographer, a very decided veil of obscurity, in not a few instances, between the writer and his facts. But suppose that this veil of obscurity is one of time, rather than of place, and that the biography of one of the main actors in the events of the eighteenth century is to be written by a writer living in the Twentieth Century.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Viewpoints in American History Unfortunately, the product Of the new school Of American historians has, in very large part, been buried in the files of historical society journals, in the learned publications Of the universities and in monographs privately printed at the ex pense of the authors. The new history was being written by historians for historians rather than for laymen; and the public generally has remained oblivious Of the great revolu tion in our knowledge Of American history wrought by the research specialists. Even the school textbooks have not until a comparatively recent time been affected by the dis coveries Of the specialists; and too Often the newer type of textbook has suffered at the hands Of teachers who, though familiar with the new facts and emphases as set forth in the textbook, have no acquaintance with the general point Of view which gives to these new facts their tremendous significance.

Download or read book Truths of History written by Mildred Lewis Rutherford and published by Ironclad Pub. This book was released on 1998-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introductions by Mauriel P Joslyn and JH Segars. In today's society we are unaccustomed to writings as bold and direct as those penned by Mildred Lewis Rutherford (1851-1928). The surviving papers of this Georgia educator provide an interpretation of Civil War History that is rarely found in modern texts. "Truths of History," first published in 1920, is an extraordinary presentation of historical viewpoints held by Southerners, past and present. Also included in this reprint is "Wrongs of History Righted," a fiery lecture given by Rutherford in 1914 in Savannah. Miss "Millie" Rutherford's insight into the mindset of Southerners is both fascinating and provocative. Few scholars were more keenly aware of the heart, mind and soul of the Confederate soldier than was this national orator and Grand Historian of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Download or read book Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea written by O. H. Peters and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea The causative agencies from which springs the plentiful harvest of child mortality in large cities may be conceived as a felted mass of rootlets almost inextricably intertwined. Those of poverty, bad housing, bad feeding, and neglect, may be severally recognized, but the extent of their interrelations with actual respiratory and alimentary disease - those to which the greater part of the mortality is referred - can be traced only with difficulty. It is the object Of this work to aid ln the labour of cutting away the matrix and entangling fibres and to lay bare the hidden ramifications of at least one important causative agency - epidemic diarrhoea. This affection - if we accept provisionally the more novel and generally favoured conception. As to its nature - is revealed as something very like an ordinary infectious disease, and one which permeates all classes, while the excessive mortality it gathers round itself in urban centres must be regarded as something superadded, owing to the vicious circle it forms with those baneful conditions of slum life mentioned above. On the other hand, its peculiarly intimate association with the circum stances of domestic life, from the continual faecal pollution of the interior of the household by infants and others, tends to make it more so than other affections of the kind peculiarly a class disease, and an especial scourge of dirty neighbourhoods. Dirty towns may however be saved from excessive mortality by a high percentage of breast feeding. A notable point in the interesting comparison that can be drawn between diarrhoea and typhoid fever is that, in accordance with their peculiarly opposite age-incidence curves, the marked and habitual depositing of infectious excreta within the household in the former disease may make the question of water-closet versus conservancy pan a matter of far less importance than in the latter.

Download or read book Germany s Point of View Classic Reprint written by Edmund Von Mach and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany's Point of View The author had one more object in mind in collecting these articles in book form. There has been much bitter feeling against the American press among the pro-Germans in this country, and among the Germans in the Fatherland. Without, unfortunately, being able to affirm that Germany has received fair treatment, the author wishes to bear testimony to the fact that the spirit of fair play has nevertheless been more prevalent here than in some of the other neutral states. When the war is over the knowledge that articles like these appeared week after week, and at times when the passions were highest, in a distinctly pro-Allies paper of such importance as the Boston Transcript will take some of the sting out of the charge of unfairness made against the American press. The defenders of the good name of Germany, had to contend against great odds, but they were not entirely denied the opportunity of pleading their case, as happened in other countries. In this connection it is only right to state that not once during the thirty weeks that the author was asked by the owner and managing editor of the Boston Transcript to contribute his weekly "Viewpoints," was any request made or any pressure brought to bear upon him to lessen his freedom of expression. On the contrary, the author had an absolutely free hand, and his articles were printed as he had written them. This implies a degree of generosity which it would be difficult to duplicate outside of the United States of America.

Download or read book What Is History Classic Reprint written by Edward Potts Cheyney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Is History? That is to say, history, according to this View of the case, is meant to instruct. It should teach some lesson. The lesson may be a political one or a moral one or a religious one. But it is always history with a purpose, - its justification is ethical. Far and wide through historical writing can be found this ideal. Sometimes it is consciously and strongly held. There is a work in eight volumes in the University Library with the title, The History of England on Christian Principles. Sometimes it is less consciously and clearly acknowledged, and yet the his torian none the less tells his story under its influence. Macaulay is a devotee of the Whig party and is teaching its doctrines when he is writing his history of the seventeenth century as much as when he is speaking or voting in Parliament in the nineteenth. Froude uses his history of England to teach the evils of the Roman Catholic Church and to discredit Anglican clericalism, exactly as he uses any of his other forms 'of writing.

Download or read book A School History of Tennessee Classic Reprint written by Gustavus Walker Dyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School History of Tennessee This book is written from the modern point of View with reference to the proper interpretation of history. Much of our history is almost exclusively political history. It is little more than an account of public officials and a description of battles. His tory, as properly construed, is an interpretation of the whole life of a people. It is as much the duty of a historian to interpret the industrial life, the educational life, the social life, and the religious life of a people, as it is to interpret their political life. Certainly children should not get the idea that wars and politics constitute the whole of history. Much of the material herein used is original. It has been obtained through original investigation and research, and has never before been published. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Topical Survey of United States History This little work has been prepared in response to a general demand for a text-book which could be employed in teaching United States history by means of topical reviews. The topical outlines found in many of our best text-books have proved unsatisfactory as a means of review, since their use does not result in much more than a mere restudy of the original text. In order to present the historical review from new and interesting points of View, many teachers have found it necessary to prepare outlines or syllabi of lectures that their classes may be furnished with definite material for study. The present work is an outgrowth of a series of such notes prepared by the authors for use in their respective schools.

Download or read book Men and Thought in Modern History Classic Reprint written by Ernest Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men and Thought in Modern History This book grew out of a practical need which the writer experienced for a series of short explanations of some typi cal modes of political thought illustrating what may be figured as the background of modern history. The method employed has been to take a leading thinker or statesman representing a distinct school or point of view, to expound the ideas which he taught or upon which he acted, and to connect with this biographical nucleus cognate systems of thought. For example, the study of Rousseau and the Rights of Man discusses the philosophy of political rights expounded by Rousseau, and connects it with the question of slavery. By the choice of typical examples an attempt has been made to illustrate the main currents of political and social thought in recent tinies. In each instance the aim has been to state the case fairly from the point of view of the thinker or statesman selected, and to indicate opposing views. The object is'to make diverse modes of thinking understood, not to advocate any particular one. If the book professed to be either a comprehensive his tory of events or a complete exposition of political thought it would certainly fail to satisfy reasonable requirements in either direction. But it has a more modest purpose. It selects twenty-four men, each of whom is representative of some particular way of looking at things, and in consider ing their personality presents a critical view of their out look and philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Points of History for Schools and CollegesThis little book is designed for both teachers and pupils - as a sort of a supplement of ordinary school histories, not with a view of supplanting any in use, but to fix on the mind what is most vital and important in the history of civilization. It may be found useful, especially in reviews and examinations. There may be some question as to dates, but the authorities differ. In attempting to compress the salient points of the history of the world within less than two thousand questions and answers, some slight errors are probable; but these will not affect the general value of the book, which it is believed by the author to be unique, and on which much time and labor have been spent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Our United States written by William Backus Guitteau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our United States: A History Throughout this volume, the larger emphasis has been placed upon social and industrial history. Such vital topics as the industrial revolution, the westward movement, the rise and control of large corporations, questions of labor, of the tariff, money, and banking, these have received much more than the usual space. However, in writing the story of our wars, the author has proceeded upon the theory that if the story is worth telling at all, it is worth telling well. Therefore, an endeavor has been made to present a vivid narrative of military cam paigns, rather than a mere colorless summary. Teachers will find the story of the campaigns of the Civil War narrated from the geographical point of view, a method of approach which clears away the difficulties of the story when told merely as a chronology of events. Above all, the author has kept in View the dominant pur pose in present-day teaching of history and government; that is, the preparation of pupils for intelligent, helpful citizenship through the study of our country's history, its ideals, and institutions. History teaching worthy of the name no longer tolerates the mere recital of facts, dates, and names, or the answering of stereotyped questions at the end of the chapter. Rather, our teachers of history will draw from the events of the past their underlying significance; and they will relate the past to the present in such a way as to create in the minds of the pupils high ideals of American citizenship and of political conduct.
