Book excerpt: Excerpt from Willis Historical Reader, Based on the Great Events of History, From the Creation of Man Till the Present Time To give in a series of pictures such a connected view of the Christian Era as may be pleasantly readable and easily remembered, is the aim of this book. Many pupils leave school - some students even leave college - with great gaps in their knowledge of History. There are thousands whose knowledge of Europe between the Fall of Rome and the Reformation is confined to a few misty, floating ideas about Charlemagne, the Crusades, and Ricnzi. This is partly owing to the study of History in schools being confined, in many cases, to the beaten round of Britain, Greece, and Rome; and partly to the fact that most "Outlines of General History" take but a slight hold of the mind. Professing to give in complete detail the History of every land in the world, they arc often, however valuable as books of reference, worse than useless for class purposes. When we, whose minds arc ripe and strong, consider how little of Gibbon or Macaulay, we can remember beyond their very brilliant passages, we shall at once see the folly of expecting young and tender memories to retain more than the Great Events of History. What these Great Events are, the young need to be told, or else their after-reading will be confused and wearisome. It is the earnest hope of the writer, that this book may be numbered among the works which abridge the labor of the learner and sweeten his toil. The Great Events of British History arc not here described, being merely named in the Chronological Tables; because, in the opinion of the writer, this book should be read immediately after the study of our national story. It will then best gain its primary object, serving as a guide and preparation for the reading of special and more detailed histories.
