A Child S History Of England Vol 3 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Child's History of England IF you look at a Map of the World, you will see, in the left hand upper corner of the Eastern Hemisphere, two Islands lying in the sea. They are England and Scotland, and Ireland. England and Scotland form the greater part of these Islands. Ireland is the next in Size. The little neighbouring islands, which are so small upon the Map as to be mere dots, are chiefly little bits of Scotland - broken off, I dare say, in the course of a great length of time, by the power of the restless water.

Excerpt from A History of England From the Conclusion of the Great War in 1815, Vol. 3 The victory of Waterloo, and the arrangements which followed the battle, gave the great military nations of Europe nearly forty years of peace. The first-rate powers of the Themange_ Continent were not again arrayed in arms against merits after one another till an entire generation had passed waterloo' away. The lesser powers, however, did not derive the same advantages from the negotiations which followed the victory. Whole nations were handed over to czar or king without any reference to their own feelings. Countries whose geographical position made their annexation impracticable were consigned to the rule or misrule of their hereditary sovereigns. The restoration of the Bourbons to France was followed by the restoration of the Bourbons to Spain and Naples. The illus trious diploniatists of the Continent were too deeply interested in maintaining the divine right of kings to ignore the Claims of the minor potentates of Continental Europe.

Excerpt from The Child's Book of England You can be glad that you are English without being so silly as to think that the English are any better than the other peoples of the world. And you will find it easier to understand how foolish this would be when you read in my book from how many different races we English people are descended. Indeed this England of ours has been made great by people who have come from many different countries. When I wrote The Child's Book of France, I told you that I meant it to be a Peace book, because I believe that the more we know about other nations the less danger there is of quarrels and wars. The Child's Book of England is a peace book too. You must first know all about your own country and love your own country before you can understand other countries. You must begin by being good English men and women before you can become what ar citizens of: the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
