A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The purpose of this book is to furnish a narrative history of England for use in the higher grades of the elementary schools. It traces not only the growth of those principles of liberty and self-government which are the common heritage of the A nglo-S axon race, but also the gradual development of theB ritish Empire and its rise to the front rank of the worlds manufacturing and commercial powers. In the selection of materials an attempt has been made to excite an interest that shall stimulate the pupil to a search for further knowledge. To this end there is given, in the appendix, a list of books easily accessible, some of which should be in every class-room where English history is taught. It is a good rule never to read less than two accounts of the same event. This provides training in comparison, discrimination, and judgment, thereby accomplishing the main objects of historical study. The questions and topics for home reading that are appended to each section are intended to encourage independent thought and to supplement the work of the class-room. The pupil should not be asked to memorize paragraphs, but to discover the topics of which they treat, and to expand these in his own language. If this practice is persevered in, he will soon acquire facility in the process of gathering ideas from the printed page, and in writing and talking about them afterward. The possession of such power is the basis of aU historical study.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
