Outline For Review English History Scholars Choice Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from Outline for Review American History When the close of the year's work approaches, the teacher of history is confronted with the problem of bringing out the subject as a whole, and of so focusing it as to make the picture clear-cut and vivid in the pupil's mind. Text-book and notebook and classroom work have each done their part in arousing the imagination and informing the memory - how shall the prominent figures and the smaller details, the multitude of memories and impressions so made, be fixed and established in their proper perspective? It was the effort to solve this problem that produced this series of Outlines in Greek, Roman, English, and American history. They were first privately printed, and have been experimented with for several years. The result has been so gratifying, in accomplishing the end in view, as to suggest that they might prove similarly useful to others; hence, their present publication. The Outlines have been enlarged and revised in collaboration with a colleague of wide experience in preparing pupils for college, Mr. E. B. Treat, who has used them in their original form, and who therefore brings the valuable assistance of independent experiment and experience to the work of improvement and revision. It cannot be too emphatically said that the Outlines should not be introduced into the class until after the work of the text-book is finished - they are preeminently intended, as their title indicates, for review.
