A history of England from the landing of Julius Caesar to the present day

by H O. 1855-1909 Arnold-Forster Author

(From Amazon): TA book "written in simple language, sufficiently full to serve for reference, and at the same time sufficiently interesting to be read as well as to be consulted," was the purpose of H. O. Arnold-Forster when he condensed his previously published series, "Things New and Old" into one volume. This book covers the time of Julius Caesar's landing in "Britannia" in 55 B.C. to the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 A. D. It includes the original maps and notes along with additional editorial footnotes. H. O. Arnold-Forster's book was used in Charlotte Mason's schools for the study of English history. Although originally published over 100 years ago, the characters and events are worthy of study today. The past is presented in a way that allows the present to be enriched with the wealth of all that has gone before.
