Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of England in Verse I have endeavoured in the following little work to render the acquisition of the material facts of English History more easy and pleasant than it had heretofore been - for the benefit, not solely of Examination Students, but also of all those whose position in society demands from them a general knowledge of this interesting subject. It is a matter of common observation that any bare isolated fact makes a far more lasting impression on the mind when clothed in simple rhyme than when drily detailed in prose. Nursery books, intended to teach children the rudiments of knowledge, are usually in rhyme: boys at school patch up, as it were instinctively, doggerel verses to commemorate the knotty points of their maturer studies; while, to candidates for the higher examinations, verse, however rough and simple, is an aid which has saved many an over-crammed brain from hopeless confusion.

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.

He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from England, and Other Poems To collect into a volume the scattered effusions of earlier years, and while doing so, to plead excessive unwillingness, would be an assumption of modesty, which the author apprehends the most lenient and indulgent reader would be disposed to doubt. In introducing, however, to the public, the following fugitive pieces, it may be expected that he should say something in their behalf, not to justify himself in what some might call a rash undertaking, not to soften the voice of criticism, nor to deprecate its severity, but to ask for these his humble efforts a candid perusal, and that their merits may be their claim to favor or oblivion.

Thy sixty years of sovereignty, full told, Have moved our hearts. Some sign, whereby to trace Our people's brotherhood, we need; the grace To thee was given, such worthy part to hold.

Every one had gone into his house to tea; none had yet started for Church or promenade the street was empty, except for a white pigeon that pecked idly in the middle of the road and once leaned upon one wing, raised the other so as to expose her tender side and took the rain deliciously; so calm and unmolested was the hour. The houses were in unbroken rows and arranged in pairs, of which one had a bay window on the ground floor and one had not. Some had laurels in front some had names. But they were so much alike that the street resembled a great storehouse where yards of goods, all of one pattern, are exposed, all with that painful lack of Character that makes us wish to rescue one and take it away and wear it, and soil it, and humanise it rapidly.
