Excerpt from A Short Social and Political History of Britain

Brief explanation of the principles which have determined the selection and arrange ment of material in this book may be of use to the teacher.

This book is designed for use in the upper classes of elementary schools or in the lower classes of secondary schools. It is meant to be an introduction to British history, to show the lines along which the peoples in these islands have developed, and to indicate the most significant events in that development, in a word, to do for the schoolboy of twelve what Professor A. F. Pollard in his brilliant little History of England has already done for the general reader.
