The Rhyming History of Britain Has never - heretofore - been written 'I am not a historian. In fact, I wrote this poem in order to teach myself some history. I thought that sorting facts into verse form would concentrate my mind wonderfully. Which it did.' Brought up with the iambic pentameters of Hilaire Belloc's Cautionary Verses ringing in his ears, James Muirden's rhyming history is a long poem in an equally simple and jolly form. Charmingly irreverent, magically humorous, delightfully illustrated by David Eccles - recently acclaimed for his line drawings for Now We Are Sixty - this is the perfect gift for historians and non-historians alike. This cheerful poem has been written To tell the History of Britain; For People puzzled by the Past - If this means YOU, here's help at last! From Celts to Churchill, it relates (With all the most Important Dates) Our country's convoluted course... Why Richard hollered for a horse; Why Eleanor was such a catch; Why no one liked the Spanish Match; The pros and cons of Laissez Faire; Smart Georgian ladies' underwear; Why Charles the Second went to plays; Why Queen Jane reigned for just nine days; The causes of the Irish trouble; The bursting of the South Sea Bubble; That giant glasshouse in Hyde Park; The First World War's igniting spark...

Excerpt from English History in Rhyme This Metrical Summary is one of a series, prepared, or in course of preparation, for use in schools, or for those who wish to memorize in a short time, and in an easy manner, the principal dates and events of history. Its practical value has been tested in my own school, where I have used it in connection with a text-book. Pupils enjoy reciting it, and, when once learned, it is not readily forgotten. The genealogical part of this second edition contains information not given elsewhere in any one book, and affords an answer to every question on the subject which would naturally arise. The Scottish tables are unique, and are quite necessary in properly understanding many portions of the chronicles of England as well as of Scotland. However skeptical some teachers may be, as to the mnemonic value of this method of study, all doubt will disappear upon a trial of its merits. A great point gained is that pupils take hold of the rhyme with enthusiasm, and do not realize while they are learning it that they are surmounting difficulties which have remained unconquered, except by those who have a phenomenal memory.

Excerpt from The Britons: A Rhymed History of England and the Roman, English and German Dates, Together With General Questions The following rhymes have been in daily use in our school for nearly twenty years. Any child able to learn The House That Jack Built, on which immortal master-piece they have been modelled, is old enough to begin to learn The Britons. They make an admirable memory exercise. The jingle of the doggerel catches the ear of children, and thus they take in readily, and long retain, a body of. History which, in later life, becomes of value. It would be right to give honour where honour is due, if the authorship could now be ascertained. More than forty years ago a faithful governess taught a rhymed English history, orally, to a small pupil. When, in the course of human events, it be came her lot to teach the young idea how to shoot, these stanzas were written out, chie y from mem ory, and no doubt with many imperfections. Since then, here and there a line has been altered or added, sometimes by the teacher, quite as Often by the pupils of successive classes. These emenda tions are then our joint workmanship.
