ANDERSON. PREFACE. THE object of this work is to supply to teachers and students a history of England containing the features of the author's popular school histories of the United States. Accordingly, the text has been made brief. but clear and explicit; questions have been appended at the foot of each page, to aid in study and recitation, and review questions added at the end of each section, for the purpose of practising the student in topical narration. Maps, showing the progressive changes in the political divisions of the country, and the location of the places referred to, are interspersed through the work, and chronological tables inserted at frequent intervals. The same system with regard to dates has been followed as is employed in the author's Manual of General History, they being inserted freely, but so as to form no essential part of the narrative. The pronunciation of proper names is also given wherever it was thought the student might need this information. The biographical and other references will, it is thought, be found a most convenient addition to a work of this kind. The size of the work has been dictated by a consideration of the limited time which, according to the present school requirements, can be given to this subject; and the author hopes that in this, as well as in other respects, it will meet the approval of those from whom his previous publications have received so generous a support and commendation. |
