Description:Excerpt from Readings in English History From Original Sources, Vol. 3 The day is past when History is looked upon as a dry and uninteresting study. Nothing, when properly taught, can be more interesting, dramatic, intensely luminous, and at the same time useful. Taking our own "rough island story," what do we learn therein? We get to know who and what were the peoples that have made up the present British race: how and under what struggles our forefathers won the civil and religious liberties that we now enjoy: how and under what conditions the various steps in our social progress were made: how grew the Empire over which waves the Union Jack, and on which "the sun never sets." History therefore becomes a part of practical politics; for in it we can learn from the mistakes and successes of the Past how, to a certain extent, to regulate matters of the Present. The question has often been asked actually, and, perhaps, more often inwardly, "How do we know all these things?" It is in answer to this that an attempt has been made, in the present series, to introduce our young people to some of the Sources of this knowledge.
