Landmarks in the History of Europe (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Landmarks in the History of Europe<br><br>This book is intended for the use of children of from ten to twelve years of age. It has its origin in an attempt to carry out a suggestion of the University of London Inspectors, that children in the Lower Middle School (Lower III.'s) should be given some knowledge of the great events and famous names of history other than that of their own country. This scheme also fell in well with suggestions contained in a recent Board of Education Report on the Teaching of History in Schools.<br><br>The writer felt that something more than isolated stories of heroes or events was needful, but found no existing text-book to meet the requirements of the children. The notes, written in the first place for the purposes of class teaching, have developed into this attempt to trace briefly the main current of the History of Europe almost from its beginnings to modern times.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
