Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Arthur's History of England Though I have not the happiness to be a mother, my love of children has led me to think a good deal about them. Their amusements, and their lessons. This little history was written for a real little arthur, and I have endeavoured to write it nearly as I would tell it to an intelligent child. I well remember what I wanted to be told myself, in addition to what I found in my lesson-book, when I was first allowed to read the History of England, and I hope I have answered most of the questions I recollect to have wished to ask. I may have failed in satisfying the almost bound less inquiries of intelligent children; and I could wish that the mother or governess, who may put this little book into the hands of her pupils, would read each chapter herself before she gives it to a child, that she may be ready with answers to such questions as the chapter may suggest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mighty England: The Story of the English People To write this book for young Americans, I travelled eight times in England and also visited often Ger many, the Netherlands, and France - countries from which the ancestors of the English people, for the most part, came. It was like tracing a river to its source to go back from the island to the High Dutch Of the German mountains, and like drifting down the flood to stay among the Low Dutch in Holland and Belgium. In France it was more like sailing on the lake, and in Italy, like rowing on a pond. Out Of these countries streams of men and influence have flowed into Great Britain. Yet it was from the Germanic and Norse lands that the great body of ideas and customs of the many tribes that made the English nation came. I have gone into caves and crypts, seen barrows and mounds excavated, and visited the old moot places of the Salic Franks, as well as museums and archives, and have seen corona tions, parades, and pageants. I have studied what my friend, the late Edward A. Freeman, called Eng lish People in its Three Homes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the English People, Vol. 2 A lord's caprice into rights that could be pleaded at law. The number of teams, the fines, the reliefs, the services that a lord could claim, at first mere matter of oral tradition, came to be entered on the court-roll of the manor, a copy of which became the title-deed of the villein. It was to this that he owed the name of copy holder which at a later time superseded his older title. Disputes were settled by a reference to this roll or on oral evidence of the custom at issue, but a social arrangement which was eminently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Histories of the Kings of Britain 1. The Beginnings of Arthurian Story - Arthurian romance is known to us in its best and purest form through the lays and romances that were produced in France during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It is a body of preeminently imaginative literature, and although it reflects the chivalric life of France at the tune in which it was and mystery, of prowess, beauty, love, and enchantment, where valorous heroes achieve impossible adventures, and messengers from fairyland appear easily and naturally on marvellous errands. A brilliant part of our literary heritage from France, it does not, however, like the chansons de geste, the great Carolmgian epics, represent French national legend. It is a composite whole, which embodies Oriental stones, bits of classical myth, and above all Celtic tradition, - those "idle and pleasant tales of Britain," as they were called by a twelfth-century French poet, Jean Bodel, who justly gave to the Arthurian material the designation that has ever since clung to it, "the matter of Britain." In this material the central name, but not the most prominent figure, is that of Arthur, King of Britain, for Arthur himself in the romances is little more than a rot faineant, who remains in the background, while the true glory of adventure belongs to the knights whose proudest boast it is that they are attached to his court. Never could his name have become so potent, if he had not earlier tradition been accredited with more valiant deeds than he accomplishes in romance. It is not in the romances alone, however, that Arthurian story is recorded, and such light as we have upon Arthur's early fame is shed from literature of a different class.
