Ir is of prime importance that the books of the Chautauqua Reading Course should be clear, concise, and accurate. The author has endeavored to comply with this threefold requirement in this Outline History of England. The story of the growth of Britain, England, and the British Empire has been compressed within narrow limits, but there has been no sacrifice of clearness or of scrupulous fidelity to the truth. The author makes no pretensions to originality of research, and small claim to freshness of statement. He would gratefully acknowledge assistance received from many sources; would especially own his debt to the following works: A Short Geography of the British Isles, by J. R. and Alice S. Green; Story of Early Britain, by Alfred J. Church; The Normans in Europe, by A. H. Johnson; The Early Plantagenets, by William Stubbs; The Age of Elizabeth, by Mandell Creighton; The Puritan Revolution, by S. R. Gardiner; Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches, by Thomas Carlyle; The Fall of the Stuarts, by Edward Hale; The Age of Anne, by E. E. Morris; History of Napoleon, by P. Lanfrey; Constitutional History of England, by Henry Hallam; History of Our Own Times, by Justin M'Carthy; History of England, by Edith Thompson; Short History of the English 393237 |
