Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ontario Public School: History of England It would be fatal, even in a history for elementary schools, to adopt a style of writing supposed to be especially suitable for the young. The tone would be unreal, and young readers would resent its artificiality. The book has, however, been written for the young, who, like their elders, need no more than a clear and vivid narrative. i hey are not likely to be much interested in political and constitutional questions, unless these are connected with action. The attempt has, therefore, been made to describe as clearly as possible the persons chiefly concerned with the many and great issues in British history. Old-fashioned teachers will miss the mention of some of the Acts of Parliament upon which they have been wont to dwell. Only those Acts have been introduced which are most vital in the complex and wonderful life of the British nation. The author owes special thanks to fr. C. W. Jefferys, who has given much thought to the illustrations, and has aimed to link them clearly and vividly with the text. His admirable drawings will, it is believed, add much to the interest of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ontario High School History of England Climate. - Father Ocean, it has been said, has a bias toward England. The in uence of the warm winds sweeping across the Atlantic to her shores brings a mild climate to latitudes that in America are Arctic. It is strange to think that London is in the same latitude as parts of Hudson Bay. England rarely has severe cold. The average difference of temperature between the warm est and the coldest months of the year is not more - than twenty-five degrees, and changes in the seasons are so slight that her people can live an outdoor life throughout the year. There is, for instance, no month when rowing ceases on the Thames or when frost wholly forbids plough ing. Winds are stronger and more rain falls in England than in the adjacent regions of the continent. Charles II, who had dwelt in many lands, said that the best climate was one which permitted men to be abroad with pleasure, or at least without trouble and inconvenience, for the most days of the year and the most hours of the day. This condition, he thought, vprevailed in England more than in any other country in Europe, and without doubt it has helped to make the English an active race.

Later, he made the hard journey acrossmighty ranges of mountains and stood on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, in the East, the French and the English were learning, not without bitter strife, the need Of working together for their common country. Canada expanded, first eastward, to include the Maritime Provinces, and then westward, until her long frontiers touched those Of the United States for thousands Of miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific. After this expansion new problems came to Canada. She faced the stupendous task of building railways from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With this came the rapid development Of the West - political, agricultural, and commercial. Canada was long only a colony, but this condition was not adequate for a state which occupied half a continent. When Canadian troops fought on the battle fields Of South Africa, the effect was to increase the national self-reliance of Canada. Then came the grim, dramatic years Of the Great War. During this crisis in the history of mankind, Canada played her splendid part, and she secured recognition by the mother-land and by the world of her new and higher status in the British Commonwealth of Nations.

Some hostages were given at once, but the Britons explained that others were in distant parts of the country, and that it would take a few days to bring them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public School History of England and Canada: With Introduction, Hints to Teachers, and Brief Examination Questions It is useless to expect a teacher to instil into the minds of his pupils a love of historical reading and research, unless he himself appreciates and enjoys the study, and is fully alive to its educational and political value. The apathy or distaste so frequently exhibited by pupils when called upon to master the most elementary historical facts is largely due to the superficiality of the teacher's knowledge. Without a good acquaintance with the subject he can make it neither profitable nor interesting. "History is past politics." This may be accepted as a fairly correct definition, if we enlarge the ordinary conception of "politics," so as to comprehend all the facts connected with the moral, intellectual, and social life of a community. History deals with something more than the struggles of contending princes for power and fame; its main incidents are not battles and sieges. Nor is it limited to the discussion and explanation of the varying fortunes of great political parties. It includes these things; but it includes also many other matters of equal or even greater importance. It aims to reveal to us the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and defeats, the virtues and vices, of the different classes that make up a nation. It tells us how rude, semi-civilized tribes and peoples develop into powerful commonwealths, enjoying the advantages of good government, pure morals, high culture, and literary excellence. It tells us, too, of the gradual or rapid decline of great monarchies and strong republics; and shows us the reason why one nation prospered and another suffered ruin or disaster. History also gives us ample opportunities of studying human character as manifested on an extended scale. The wise and the unvise, the just and the unjust, the cruel and the merciful, the pure and the impure; all kinds of actors on life's stage are placed before us for moral discrimination and judgment. Rightly studied, history teaches us to admire and esteem the brave, the honest, and the self-denying; and to despise and condemn the cowardly, the base, and the selfish. We are led to see that virtue preserves and strengthens a nation, while vice inevitably causes decay and weakness. Not the least of the important uses of history is its tendency to broaden our sympathies and to enlarge our views of human life and action. History, then, is a great teacher of morals. It is, also, a powerful means of developing the intellectual faculties. It leads us to compare nation with nation; institutions with institutions; laws with laws. It prompts us to discover the links that connect events apparently isolated; in other words, to find causes for effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public School History of England and Canada It was about this time that the name "Britannia" was given to the island of Great Britain. 2. Roman Conquest. - At last, in the year 55 B.C., a great Roman general, Julius Caesar, came across the Channel from France (then called Gaul), with an army, and defeated the Britons who had gathered on the coast to keep him from landing. He soon returned to Gaul, but came back the next year, and once more defeated the Britons. Again he left the island - this time to return no more. When Caesar visited Britain he found the people on the southern coast fairly civilized. They had war-chariots, and fought with spears, axes and pikes. They wore ornaments of gold and silver, and clad themselves in mantles and tunics of cloth such as were worn by the people on the opposite coast of Gaul. In fact, these Britons along the southern coast kept up a trade with their neighbors, the Gauls, who were at this time much more civilized than the people of Britain living inland. The latter were a very savage and rude people, dwelling in wretched huts, or in caves in the earth. They dressed in skins of beasts, their food being milk and meat, and further north, roots, leaves, and nuts. The more savage wore no clothing, but stained their bodies and limbs somewhat in the same fashion as the North American Indians do. Their religion was Druidism, and the oak was their sacred tree, under which they worshipped and offered up sacrifices. These sacrifices were often human beings, who were burnt in large cages of wicker work at the command of the Druids, or priests, who had great influence over the people and made their laws. The Romans, who were to play an important part in the history of Britain, came from Italy and had for their chief city, Rome. They were a very stem and hard people, and at the time when Caesar visited Britain, had conquered nearly all the known world. But they made good laws and forced the people they subdued to obey them. After Caesar left Britain, the Romans made no further efforts to conquer it until 43, A.D., when their Emperor Claudius came with an army, and after much fighting took possession of the south of the island.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supplement Containing Additions to the 1925 Edition of a New History of Great Britain and Canada: Two Volumes in One Whereas the town was apolitical unit, the merchant gild was essentially an economic Or business organization. It existed primarily to regulate the trade and industry of the town to which it belonged; though it also performed some of the duties of a friendly or benevolent society, in looking after sick or needy members, and in making funeral arrangements for those members who died. It comprised all-the traders and craftsmen within the town, whether they were weavers, tanners, smiths, dyers, tailors, saddlers, shoe makers, or What not; and it saw, through its officials, that trade was properly conducted. It saw to it that no one attempted to undersell anyone else; and on the other hand it made sure that no one attempted to corner the market in any commodity. It was an admirable feature of the Middle Ages that even the merchant gilds did their best to ensure that only a fair price should be charged for any given article, and that inferior goods should not be placed upon the market. In some towns the merchant gild became very powerful, and occasionally it Obtained complete con trol of the government of the town. It, is a striking fact that the municipal buildings of the City of London are to day known as the Guild Hall. In other cases, the merchant gild early sank into insignificance. In view of the fact that each town has a different history, it is very difficult to make any general statement with regard to the merchant gilds at all. All one can say is that they were an interesting de velopment, in the way of trade organization, among what was at that time a despised and neglected part of the people of England, the trading and industrial class.

England IN the new world was England still; striving, earnest, honest, and successful.
