Book Description
Excerpt from A Social History of England The aim has been to trace briefly the gradual emanei pation of the worker, from a state of slavery to his present position of power which gives him a share in the government of his country; and, whilst it is hoped that there is sufficient continuity between the chapters to enable young readers to study the subject with little assistance from the teacher, it will still be possible to make the volume the basis of a wider course of lectures, if thought desirable.

Book Description
Excerpt from Social Life in Britain: From the Conquest to the Reformation Though this book is primarily intended to supply that background of social history which is necessary to a sympathetic comprehension of our own literature in the Middle Ages, it is hoped that it may appeal also to the general public; and that, in these extracts, our forefathers may be found speaking for themselves on all the main questions which interest intelligent people to-day. A large proportion are translated (and many for the first time) from Latin or Old French. The rest are presented unmodernized (though sometimes, as the reader is warned, with some abridgment) in their medieval garb. To this end the compiler has made specially free use of such old translations as those of Trevisa, Lord Berners, and the Alphabet of Tales. Even where the episode was given more fully by a first-rate chronicler like Matthew Paris, it seemed preferable to reproduce it in Trevisa's naive rendering of Higden's compilation; since here we have the actual English that Chaucer heard. A very few of these illustrations have been chosen from other countries and from earlier or later dates. This, however, is only in cases where the thing described, though it happens to be recorded most clearly in such a foreign document, is also characteristic of medieval England, and could be inferred, though more laboriously, from genuine English sources. The story of Froissart's youth, for instance, may be applied without much modification to Chaucer and many others among our own youth at that day.

Book Description
Excerpt from Social History of England IN pre-historic times England was inhabited by various races in turn. All that is known of them and of their manner of life is gathered from the remains found near the caves in which they dwelt. The only implements of the earliest race were rudely-chipped stone knives. They were followed by a people somewhat like the Eskimos, who lived in underground dwellings, or in villages raised on piles by the shores of lakes. They knew how to polish their stone knives and weapons, and lived by hunting and fishing; some of them were cannibals. A people of a Finnish type came in amongst them, and taught them the use of bronze. These newcomers built their huts in circles, and buried their dead in round barrows. After them came immigrations of Celts, who named the land Britain, and of them history begins to tell us some.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Industrial State: A Social and Economic History of England The series of books of which the present volume forms one proposes to touch one part only of life the economic. Only' is added as a caution not always superfluous yet of course no one can fail to recognise how fundamental for individuals and for society are the ways in which they provide for themselves their 'revenue or subsistence.' And so the books of this series will range from works which frankly aim at providing the definite knowledge which young men and women will need in commercial occupations to others which set before them the general structure of contemporary economic life and the course of development by which industrial conditions have come to be what they are. And concerning these latter this much must be added. Just about a century ago, Political Economy entered into a phase which, in effect and for the great body of the people, was profoundly pessimistic. It taught, or was understood to teach, that industrial conditions were brought about by 'laws' as independent of individual human aspirations as the law of gravity. That phase has. Passed away. It is true that we see now that human character and therefore social organisation are both the results of age-long evolution, and that there are.
