Early England From The Earliest Times To The Accession Of Henry Ii PDF Download

Excerpt from Early England: From the Earliest Times of the Accession of Henry II History was long ago defined as "Philosophy teaching by examples," and its study certainly tends not only to instruct the mind but to develop the moral sense. A faithful record of what has been done by our forefathers in England is full of the best lessons for American boys and girls. There is much not only to admire and love but also to suggest noble thoughts and stimulate to noble actions - much to remind us that "Not once or twice, in that rough island-story, The path of honour was the way to glory." In this History of "Early England" tho aim has been to present clearly and accurately all that children can well understand of the events which led to the making and founding of the nation. That every word-picture be simple and graphic is most desirable, but it is not less important that the information given be reliable and systematic. Everything that could in any way enhance the educative value of the hook has been done. The text has been carefully graduated, and the style throughout is pure and vivid.
