Présentation de l'éditeur

If this is the age of epochs and periods of history, it is also the age of historical monographs and biographies. The Heroes of the Nations jostle the Story of the Nations in friendly rivalry. The great man theory is combined with the great movement theory of historic development. The series of which this volume is a part aims at utilizing this tendency for the purpose of school teaching, and at stimulating children to independent reading and thought by presenting the history of England to them in a fresh and attractive form by means of typical lives of famous men and women, drawn in large measure from original sources. Each volume contains a list of authorities and a consacutive summary of the whole period covered by the text, on which class teaching may be based. Illustrative maps, pictures, and genealogical tables are also given, and a full index, which it is hoped may be found useful in training young students to compare and rearrange facts for themselves, and to work out subjects from the incidental references scattered through the different biographies.
