English History in Short Stories (Classic Reprint) by John Whipple Potter Jenks Pdf

Excerpt from English History in Short Stories This little book is not designed to be a History of England. It is, first, a compendium of facts about England, its history, government, and antiquities, - facts which all English-speaking people ought to know, and which are not readily accessible to those Americans who do not have good libraries at hand. It contains, secondly, a series of sketches of each of the English monarchs; not histories of their reigns or complete biographies, but estimates of the historical importance of each. The English kings previous to the Hanoverians are the central figures of English history. The dates and other facts here given have been collated with the greatest care. The intelligent reader need not be informed that Freeman, J. R. Green, Pearson, and others are entirely reconstructing English history, and fresh estimates of men and events are resulting.

Stories From English History by Henry P. Warren Pdf

Excerpt from Stories From English History: From B. C. 55 to A. D. 1901 IN writing this book an endeavor has been made to interest boys and girls in English history by stories of some of its great events and of some of the great men who adorn its pages. This aim being kept steadily in view throughout, it seemed right to select certain important incidents and characters, and to deal with them in some detail and in as interesting a way as possible, rather than to load the pages with a multitude of names and dates, in the vain effort to crowd into a few pages a continu ous history which should be at once full and inter esting. Yet it is believed that no important events or personages have been entirely neglected, while particular attention has been directed toward those of chief significance to American boys and gifls.

Simple Stories From English History for Young Readers (Classic Reprint) by Anonim Pdf

Excerpt from Simple Stories From English History for Young Readers Long, long ago the people who lived in this land were the Celts. They came from the far east, and moving to the west, they came at length to the great sea that stopped them from going any farther. Some of them came to dwell in the land in which we now live. They could not read or write, and so they could not leave behind them books to tell us about them. But at the time in which they lived, there were men who lived in other lands, who could both read and write, and these have left writings that tell us much about the Celts. From these writings we learn, that the Celts were tall, strong men, with bright blue eyes, and long fair hair that hung down their backs.

Excerpt from A Short History of England Thirdly, I have clung pretty closely to the thread of English history, only introducing mention of other countries when their connection with England was especially close. Since England's story is so long and so eventful, I have felt that it had better here be told as simply, clearly, and continuously as possible, for its own sake, rather than to complicate it by including many facts drawn from the history of other countries.

A Short History of English Literature (Classic Reprint) by George Saintsbury Pdf

Excerpt from A Short History of English Literature The object of this book, which was undertaken more than four years ago, is to give, from the literary point of view only, and from direct reading of the literature itself, as full, as well sup plied, and as conveniently arranged a storehouse of facts as the writer could provide. The substitution of bird's-eye views and sweeping generalisations for positive knowledge has been very sedulously avoided; but it is hoped that the system of Inter chapters will provide a sufficient chain of historical summary as to general points, such as, for instance, the nature and progress of English prosody and the periods of prose style. No part of the book has been delivered as lectures; and the sections of it con cerning the Elizabethan period and the Nineteenth Century are not replicas of previous work on those subjects.

A History of English Literature (Classic Reprint) by Walter Swain Hinchman Pdf

Excerpt from A History of English Literature In writing this book the author has sought to lay stress on the facts of the history of English literature, rather than on the interpretation of it. The need of the high school pupil would seem to be, first of all, the chief facts, given in a continuous lrnportant movements, so far as is possible, told in terms ot/'n'ien rather than of ideas. Though A certain amount 'of aesthetic comment, implied if not is'tated, is inevitable in any survey of literature which is more than a dictionary of names, the intention of the present writer has been to place the emphasis on men, on what they did, and on how they came to do it - not on what the world thinks of their performance. By such a method the space gained is considerable; there are important facts which cannot be included in a small volume if it is half-full of interpretation.
