Brand New Book. Excerpt from History of England: For Use in Schools The author then has not overlooked the demands of Ex aminers and examinations; he has indeed kept specially in view the English History Scheme of the Cambridge Local Examina tions. But he is satisfied that the highest marks are obtained by the students who have taken an intelligent interest in the subject for its own sake, and do not think of it exclusively in connexion with marks. His aim therefore has been to present the story of the development of England with such fulness and lucidity of detail as to afford an effective test of the student s industry, powers of memory, and accurate knowledge of facts; but at the same time to arouse his permanent interest by appealing to his imagination and his reasoning powers; to enable him to realise how the British Race has become at once the most free and the most law-abiding in the world, how the British Nation achieved the greatest Empire the world has known, and what manner of men they were to whom we owe these things. English History may be viewed in four aspects; as the in ternal development of political institutions, which is Constitutional History; as the development of Manners and Religion, which is Social History; as the development of relations with external Powers, which is International History; and as the field in which great Men worked, which is Biography. All these, with their interaction, claim their share of attention. The whole history is presented not as a catalogue of events that happened fortuitously in an arbitrary order, but as a story, a drama; in which events are born of events, each successive scene is the product of the previous scene, great actors play their parts, and picturesque incidents give colour and interest to the whole. The common disposition in English Histories to neglect the Inter national for the Constitutional aspect has been avoided, and a special effort has been made to render the meaning, as well as the accidents, of foreign relations, of wars and. Leagues and alliances, of victories and defeats, clear, intelligible, and interest ing. No recent sources of information have been passed over.
