The point of view from which this book is written is perhaps sufficiently set forth in -the introductorychapter, but it may fittingly call for an additional word in this place. It is, namely, the point of view of one who believes that the child about to undertake the formal study of American history in the seventh and eighth grades of our schools, needs first a preliminary sketch of the history of earlier times, especially of the Middle A ges, in order that our own history may appear in its true perspective and setting. In attempting to make intelligible to children the institutions and events of the Middle A ges, the author is aware of the magnitude of the task which he has essayed. He is, however, firmly of the opinion that the difficulty arises frequently not so much from an inability on the part of the child to grasp the essential ideas underlying medieval relations, as from the lack of a clear understanding of these on the part of the narrator himself, and the need of finding familiar nontechnical terms of definition. Whether the difficulty has bqen entirely surmounted in this work can only be determined by the test of use; but at least no pains have been spared in the effort. The interest of the book, no doubt, might have been enhanced had the author wislied to give stories, instead of the story of the Middle A ges.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
