Ontario High School History Of England Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Ontario High School History of England Climate. - Father Ocean, it has been said, has a bias toward England. The in uence of the warm winds sweeping across the Atlantic to her shores brings a mild climate to latitudes that in America are Arctic. It is strange to think that London is in the same latitude as parts of Hudson Bay. England rarely has severe cold. The average difference of temperature between the warm est and the coldest months of the year is not more - than twenty-five degrees, and changes in the seasons are so slight that her people can live an outdoor life throughout the year. There is, for instance, no month when rowing ceases on the Thames or when frost wholly forbids plough ing. Winds are stronger and more rain falls in England than in the adjacent regions of the continent. Charles II, who had dwelt in many lands, said that the best climate was one which permitted men to be abroad with pleasure, or at least without trouble and inconvenience, for the most days of the year and the most hours of the day. This condition, he thought, vprevailed in England more than in any other country in Europe, and without doubt it has helped to make the English an active race.

Excerpt from Ontario Public School History of England: Authorized by the Minister of Education for Ontario; For Use in Forms IV and V of the Public Schools The Britons were so much impressed by the bravery of the Romans that, as soon as they had rallied after their ight, they sent messengers to ask for peace. This Caesar was ready to grant; he demanded, however, as a pledge for their good behaviour in the future, that some of their chiefs should remain in his camp. Some hostages were given at once, but the Britons explained that others were in distant parts of the country, and that it would take a few days to bring them.

Excerpt from Ontario Public School: History of England It would be fatal, even in a history for elementary schools, to adopt a style of writing supposed to be especially suitable for the young. The tone would be unreal, and young readers would resent its artificiality. The book has, however, been written for the young, who, like their elders, need no more than a clear and vivid narrative. i hey are not likely to be much interested in political and constitutional questions, unless these are connected with action. The attempt has, therefore, been made to describe as clearly as possible the persons chiefly concerned with the many and great issues in British history. Old-fashioned teachers will miss the mention of some of the Acts of Parliament upon which they have been wont to dwell. Only those Acts have been introduced which are most vital in the complex and wonderful life of the British nation. The author owes special thanks to fr. C. W. Jefferys, who has given much thought to the illustrations, and has aimed to link them clearly and vividly with the text. His admirable drawings will, it is believed, add much to the interest of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
