A

HISTORY OF
OF ENGLAND

BY THE

REV. J. FRANCK BRIGHT, M.A.,

Fellow of University College, and Historical Lecturer at Balliol, New, and University Colleges, Oxford; late Master of the Modern School at Marlborough College.

This work is divided into three Periods, each complete in itself, with numerous Maps and Plans. These Periods are of convenient and handy size, especially adapted for use in Schools, as well as for Students reading special portions of History for local and other Examinations.

Crown 8vo,

PERIOD I. Price 4s. 6d.

MEDIEVAL MONARCHY:

THE DEPARTURE OF THE ROMANS, TO RICHARD III.
From A.D. 449 to A.D. 1485.

PERIOD II. Price 5s.

PERSONAL MONARCHY:

HENRY VII., TO JAMES II. From A.D. 1485 to A.D. 1688.

PERIOD III. Price 7s. 6d.

CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY:

WILLIAM AND MARY, TO THE Present TIME. From A.D. 1689 to A.D. 1837.

About five years ago, after a meeting of a considerable number of Public Schoolmasters, it was proposed to the Author that he should write a School History of England. As the suggestion was generally supported, he undertook the task. Starting from the supposition that his readers know but little of the subject, he has tried to give a plain narrative of events, and at the same time so far to trace their connection, causes, and effects, as to supply the student with a more reasonable and intelligent idea of the course of English History than is given by any mere compendium of facts. It has been thought convenient to retain the ordinary divisions into reigns, and to follow primarily, throughout, the Political History of the country; at the same time, considerable care has been given to bring out the great Social Changes which have occurred from time to time, and to follow the growth of the people and nation at large, as well as that of the Monarchy or of special classes. A considerable number of genealogies of the leading Houses of the 14th and 15th centuries have been introduced to illustrate that period. The later periods are related to considerably greater length than the earlier ones. The foreign events in which England took part have been, as far as space allowed, brought into due prominence; while, by the addition of numerous maps and plans, in which every name mentioned will be found, it is hoped that reference to a separate atlas will be found unnecessary. The marginal analysis has been collected at the beginning of the volume, so as to form an abstract of the History, suitable for the use of those who are beginning the study.
