Book Description
Excerpt from A Source-Book of English Social History These extracts have, as far as possible, been taken from sources which the teacher can easily consult further on particular points, in the hope of promoting such study, with out which the average teacher's fountain oi inspiration must soon run dry, to the withering of his pupil's zeal. For permission to borrow from their volumes I am greatly indebted to Sir W. Foster and Miss Sainsbury, Mr. S. C. Hill and Mr. Callender, also to the Hakluyt Society, the Royal Historical Society, the Oxford University Press, Mr. John Murray, and Messrs. Ginn Co.

Book Description
Excerpt from Source-Book of English History, for the Use of Schools and Readers The purpose of this little book is stated elsewhere, but a few words of explanation are in place here. In the selection of materials I have endeavored to use extracts which were of real value for purposes of study, and yet of a nature to arouse the interest of the boy or girl of sixteen. No attempt has been made to treat of every important event or aspect of English history. I have rather sought to bring together extracts illustrating the dominant interest of each period. It may seem that a disproportionate share of the extracts is given to the later times. I have felt that this departure from the practice of most histories and text-books was justified by the great difficulty in gaining access to the original materials of the history of the last three centuries. Effort has been made to use the earliest or best edition available, and to reproduce the text with exactness. In some cases, however, the spelling has been deliberately modernised. This has been done wherever I feared that the difficulties of the original form might check the interest of the student. I am under much obligation to many writers, editors, and publishers, without whose generous courtesy the preparation of this book would have been impossible. Thus it is by the liberality of Mr. D. Nutt, and of Messrs. G. Putnam's Sons, and of the several editors, that I am able to print Extracts 22, 27, 31, 33, 37, and 41.

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 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 Readings in English Social History From Contemporary Literature, Vol. 5 It is a truism that every great political upheaval is followed by a keener and livelier interest on the part of statesmen and the people generally in the social and industrial questions that, ph nix-like, arise and demand settlement. The upheaval caused by the war has focussed the attention of the country upon the necessity for improving the social conditions of the people; and for many years to come legislation in the main will have to deal with the betterment of the conditions of life in its broadest and fullest aspect. A glimpse at the social conditions of the inhabitants of this country in the past will be a help towards the better understanding of what has gone to make "this little world... set in the silver sea" the cradle of a race of shopkeepers (as Napoleon dubbed us), and warriors, as we have proved ourselves to be. In these little volumes the editor has endeavoured to select from contemporary writers pen-pictures of the country and its inhabitants throughout the centuries: their mode of life; their food and clothing; their games and recreations; their feastings and their burials; their methods of fighting on land and sea; their laws and customs; their education; their instinct for trade; their pageants and their music; their joys and their sorrows; in fact, all that goes to make what we call "life."
