Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French History for English Children The country which we now call France was not always called so, nor were the people who live in it always called the French. When it is first mentioned, which is in old Latin books written more than 1800 years ago, it is called Gallia, or Gaul, and the people are spoken of as Gauls. Gaul was in some respects the same as France is now, and in some respects very different. It was the same, or nearly the same, in its mountains, rivers, and some of the chief towns it was different in its roads, fields, villages, and, more than all, in the people who lived in it. 'when I say that some of the towns were the same, I do not mean that they look the same now as they did then, but that the Gauls had towns in many of the places where the French now have them, and that they have lasted with almost the same names ever Since.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Stories of France The child needs the background of history as an aid to the interpretation of his experience and for the understanding of current events. In our cosmopolitan life, since we are in close touch with all peoples and are constantly hearing about them, there is need at least of the simplest elementary facts in the history of the great nations. The French people have held such a central position in thefworld's affairs, and have contributed so much to civilization, that the young student should at an early stage possess himself of the outlines Of their history. He is then enabled to put together the past and present Of that interesting country and to view the one in the light of the other. Then, too, the fact that French is the first foreign language which American children are expected to study is another valid reason for placing before them in its most interesting form the main facts of French history.

This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English History for Children With regard to the spelling of old-english names, I must plead guilty to a certain amount of inconsistency. My own feeling is in favour of always using the genuine spelling of the old names rather than the common Latin and French corruptions. But I find that many people are in a manner frightened at the unusual form which is thus given to names still in common use. I have therefore, somewhat at the ex pense of consistency, left some of the more common names, such as Alfred, Edward, and Edith, in their modern spelling; while other names which are less familiar to modern readers, and which often have no One generally received modern shape, I have left in their ancient form. On the subject of old-english names and on one or two points connected with the old-english language I have added a few remarks at the end of this Preface.

He was not a good man, but it is impossible to say that he was not a great one. He was one of the best soldiers that had ever been known, and had so good an understanding that he seemed able to do everything well. But he was selfish, cruel, and ambitious, and carried away by the idea of his own greatness; and these faults led him to throw away the great opportunity he had of being of use to his country, and leaving a glorious name behind him. Conclusion. (1815-1880.) Napoleon's death happened only sixty years ago, within the memory of our grandparents, and what has occurred since in France is so near our own times that I think there is no need to say more than a few words about it. Many of the people now alive remember it all, and there have as yet been scarcely any books written about it, so I will make my account of it very short, and I hope all my readers will live to read longer and better accounts of it hereafter. When Napoleon was sent away to St. Helena, Louis XVIII. was brought back into Paris by the allies, and set up there as king, as lie had been before. He was called Louis XVIII., not Louis XVII., because it was considered by the Royalists that Louis XVI. had gone on being king to the end of his life, and that his little son Louis became king at his death, just as would have happened if Louis had died a natural death. Little Louis was called Louis XVII. by them while he lived, and spoken of by that name after he was dead, so that the next king had to be called Louis XVIII. He had learned that it was necessary to yield in some degree to the wishes of the people. He gave them a charter, or agreement to govern in a particular way, by which he promised them many of the rights for which they had...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child's Book of England You can be glad that you are English without being so silly as to think that the English are any better than the other peoples of the world. And you will find it easier to understand how foolish this would be when you read in my book from how many different races we English people are descended. Indeed this England of ours has been made great by people who have come from many different countries.

The Child's Book of England is a peace book too. You must first know all about your own country and love your own country before you can understand other countries. You must begin by being good English men and women before you can become what ar citizens of: the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
