WORDSWORTH, WILLIAM (1770-1850), 4, 6, 8, 9, 19, 43, 48, A HISTORY OF ENGLAND BY THE REV. J. FRANCK BRIGHT, M.A., Fellow of University College, and Historical Lecturer at Balliol, New, and University Colleges, Oxford; late Master of the Modern School at Marlborough College. This work is divided into three Periods, each complete in itself, with numerous Maps and Plans. These Periods are of convenient and handy size, especially adapted for use in Schools, as well as for Students reading special portions of History for local and other Examinations. Crown 8vo. PERIOD I. Price 4s. 6d. MEDIEVAL MONARCHY: THE DEPARTURE OF THE ROMANS, TO RICHARD III. PERIOD II. Price 5s. PERSONAL MONARCHY: HENRY VII., TO JAMES II. From A.D. 1485 to A.D. 1688. PERIOD III. Price 7s. 6d. CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY: WILLIAM AND MARY, TO THE PRESENT TIME. From A.D. 1689 to A.D. 1837. Some years ago, after a meeting of a considerable number of Public Schoolmasters, it was proposed to the Author that he should write a School History of England. As the suggestion was generally supported, he undertook the task. Starting from the supposition that his readers know but little of the subject, he has tried to give a plain narrative of events, and at the same time so far to trace their connection, causes, and effects, as to supply the student with a more reasonable and intelligent idea of the course of English History than is given by any mere compendium of facts. It has been thought convenient to retain the ordinary divisions into Reigns, and to follow primarily, throughout, the Political History of the country; at the same time, considerable care has been given to bring out the great Social Changes which have occurred from time to time, and to follow the growth of the people and nation at large, as well as that of the Monarchy or of special classes. A considerable number of genealogies of the leading Houses of the 14th and 15th centuries have been introduced to illustrate that period. The later periods are related at considerably greater length than the earlier ones. The foreign events in which England took part have been, as far as space allowed, brought into due prominence; while, by the addition of numerous maps and plans, in which every name mentioned will be found, it is hoped that reference to a separate atlas will be found unnecessary. The marginal analysis has been collected at the beginning of the volume, so as to form an abstract of the History, suitable for the use of those who are beginning the study. RIVINGTONS, LONDON, OXFORD, AND CAMBRIDGE. Edited by THE REV. M. CREIGHTON, M.A. LATE FELLOW AND TUTOR OF MERTON COLLEGE, OXFORD Small 8vo., with Maps and Plans. THE most important and the most difficult point in historical teaching is to awaken a real interest in the minds of beginners. For this purpose concise handbooks are seldom useful. General sketches, however accurate in their outlines of political or constitutional development, and however well adapted to dispel false ideas, still do not make history a living thing to the young. They are most valuable as maps on which to trace the route beforehand and show its direction, but they will seldom allure any one to take a walk. The object of this series of Historical Biographies is to try and select from English History a few men whose lives were lived in stirring times. The intention is to treat their lives and times in some little detail, and to group round them the most distinctive features of the periods before and after those in which they lived. It is hoped that in this way interest may be awakened without any sacrifice of accuracy, and that personal sympathies may be kindled without forgetfulness of the principles involved. It may be added that around the lives of individuals it will be possible to bring together facts of social life in a clearer way, and to reproduce a more vivid picture of particular times than is possible in a historical handbook. By reading short biographies a few clear ideas may be formed in the pupil's mind, which may stimulate to further reading. A vivid impression of one period, however short, will carry the pupil onward and give more general histories an interest in their turn. Something, at least, will be gained if the pupil realises that men in past times lived and moved in the same sort of way as they do at present. The series contains the following Biographies: 1. SIMON DE MONTFORT. 2s. 6d. 2. THE BLACK PRINCE. 2s. 6d. 3. SIR WALTER RALEGH. With Portrait. 3s. 4. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. With Portrait. 5. THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH. 3s. 6d. With Portrait. 3s. 6d. 6. OLIVER CROMWELL. [In preparation.] RIVINGTONS, LONDON, OXFORD, AND CAMBRIDGE. |
