_When young children have acquired the outlines of history from
abridgements and catechisms, and it becomes desirable to give a more
enlarged view of the subject, in order to render it really useful and
interesting, a difficulty often arises as to the choice of books. Two
courses are open, either to take a general and consequently dry history of
facts, such as Russell's Modern Europe, or to choose some work treating of
a particular period or subject, such as the works of Macaulay and Froude.
The former course usually renders history uninteresting; the latter is
unsatisfactory, because it is not sufficiently comprehensive. To remedy
this difficulty, selections, continuous and chronological, have in the
present volume been taken from the larger works of Freeman, Milman,
Palgrave, and others, which may serve as distinct landmarks of historical
reading. "We know of scarcely anything," says the_ Guardian, _of this
volume, "which is so likely to raise to a higher level the average
standard of English education."_
