Story of the English 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Down to the colonial period, if not to the Revolutionary War, English history concerns American children just as much as it does their brothers and sisters who speak the same language on the other side of the broad Atlantic. It is therefore very impor tant that our boys and girls should as soon as possible become familiar with its salient events. To interest them in their own race, introduce them to their mother country, and make the past as vivid as possible, charac ters, customs, and places have in this book been depicted princi pally through anecdotes, many of which have become classical, although not all are admitted into works intended for more ma ture minds.
