O knihe

Excerpt from English History in English Poetry: From the French Revolution to the Death of Queen Victoria

IF we are to rear boys to be good citizens, it is needful to teach them the history of their own country, and not only the story of its remoter but that of its most recent past. It is not sufficient to acquaint them with the England of the Middle Ages or the England of the Stuarts they must be interested in the England of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, so that they may come to understand the political society in which it will be their lot to live and act. To understand the present they must first learn to realise the difference between England as it is now and England as it was a hundred years ago; next, to know the causes which have made our England so different from that of George III; lastly, to trace the process by which the one has grown up out of the other.
