Synopsis
Excerpt from History of England
The object of this book is expressed in the title. It is intended to be a useful book for school teaching, and advances no higher pretensions. Some years ago, at a meeting of Public School Masters, the want of such a book was spoken of, and at the suggestion of his friends, the Author determined to attempt to supply this want. The objections raised to the school histories ordinarily used were - first, the absence of historical perspective, produced by the unconnected manner in which the facts were narrated, and the inadequate mention of the foreign relations of the country; secondly, the omission of many important points of constitutional history; thirdly, the limitation of the history to the political relations of the nation, to the exclusion of its social growth. It was at first intended to approach the history almost entirely on the social and constitutional side; but a very short trial proved that this method required a too constant employment of allusions, and presupposed too much knowledge in the reader, to be suitable for a book intended primarily for schools.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores England's Medieval Monarchy from the departure of the Romans to Richard III. It begins by examining the departure of the Romans and the subsequent settlement of various English tribes before moving into the conversion to Christianity and the establishment of the Church. The author then analyzes the struggle for supremacy among the Saxon kingdoms, along with the eventual supremacy of Wessex and the Danish invasions. This leads into the reign of Edward the Confessor and the rivalry between Godwine and the French party. The book continues by profiling Harold, the Conquest of Normandy, and the death of Harold as it discusses the state of society at the time of the Conquest.
