Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in Rhyme This Metrical Summary is one of a series, prepared, or in course of preparation, for use in schools, or for those who wish to memorize in a short time, and in an easy manner, the principal dates and events of history. Its practical value has been tested in my own school, where I have used it in connection with a text-book. Pupils enjoy reciting it, and, when once learned, it is not readily forgotten. The genealogical part of this second edition contains information not given elsewhere in any one book, and affords an answer to every question on the subject which would naturally arise. The Scottish tables are unique, and are quite necessary in properly understanding many portions of the chronicles of England as well as of Scotland. However skeptical some teachers may be, as to the mnemonic value of this method of study, all doubt will disappear upon a trial of its merits. A great point gained is that pupils take hold of the rhyme with enthusiasm, and do not realize while they are learning it that they are surmounting difficulties which have remained unconquered, except by those who have a phenomenal memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Reason in English Rhyme This rendering of 'Welsh Proverbs' was made by my father in the last few years of his life. Originally undertaken as an employment for leisure hours, the work grew under his hands, and it was finally his intention to translate all the 'Welsh Proverbs' together with such of the laws and Bardic aphorisms as seemed to embody and give expression to the national wisdom. In many cases the original meaning of the proverbs was hard to discover, owing to the quaintness of their diction and the obscurity of the illustrations by which they were expressed. The English Rhyme, therefore, does not profess to be a literal translation of the British Reason; it merely attempts to express the original sentiments in language as far as possible analogous to that used by the Welsh sages. My father had intended to write an introductory essay dealing with the subject as a whole, but at the time of his death this was only just commenced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English History in Verse A volume of moderate compass which illustrates from English Poetry many of the principal events of the History of England should be of great service, especially to the young. Herein the student gets the facts which have built up England as it is to-day, dealt with in a picturesque manner. The story of a nation's life as seen by the Poet must always be fascinating, and serve to make the men and actions of the past live again with a reality that prose cannot equally impart. Such inaccuracies as are to be found in some of the poems and ballads given in this volume are more than balanced by the manner in which the writers portray the spirit animating the times with which they are concerned, and the passions which called forth the character and heroism which they vividly describe. I believe that to the young this book will prove attractive that by means of it Teachers will find it a far easier task to awaken an intelligent interest in those wider fields of History upon which this volume makes no attempt to touch.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Britons: A Rhymed History of England and the Roman, English and German Dates, Together With General Questions The following rhymes have been in daily use in our school for nearly twenty years. Any child able to learn The House That Jack Built, on which immortal master-piece they have been modelled, is old enough to begin to learn The Britons. They make an admirable memory exercise. The jingle of the doggerel catches the ear of children, and thus they take in readily, and long retain, a body of. History which, in later life, becomes of value. It would be right to give honour where honour is due, if the authorship could now be ascertained. More than forty years ago a faithful governess taught a rhymed English history, orally, to a small pupil. When, in the course of human events, it be came her lot to teach the young idea how to shoot, these stanzas were written out, chie y from mem ory, and no doubt with many imperfections. Since then, here and there a line has been altered or added, sometimes by the teacher, quite as Often by the pupils of successive classes. These emenda tions are then our joint workmanship.
