Excerpt from A History of England for Junior Classes In drawing up these outlines of English History for junior classes, it has been my object to produce a readable and connected narrative of the most important events in the history of our country, without any political, theological, or ecclesiastical bias, which disfigures so many of our school histories, and renders them unsuitable to be put into the hands of the young. For this reason I have confined myself as much as possible to a simple statement of facts, from which the readers, if they are sufficiently thoughtful, or are guided by intelligent teachers, may draw their own lessons and inferences. In order to make the work as complete as can be desired, a chapter has been added on the Literature, Art, Science, Commerce, Manufactures, &c., of the English nation, which, though brief, will give the young student some idea of the grand position that belongs to England in the history of human progress and civilisation.
