The Child's Pictorial History of England

Synopsis

A juvenile history of England has long been needed in our primary schools. Those already prepared, and in use, are written in a style entirely beyond the capacities of young children, and too comprehensive in detail.

“History for children ought to be told in their own simple language, or it fails to interest them; while all that is unfitted for childish ears, or unsuited to a childish understanding, should be carefully omitted; at the same time, it is essential to avoid making false or imperfect impressions by an injudicious brevity.”
