Excerpt from A Topical Analysis of English and Canadian History: From William III, to George III, Inclusive This little book is founded upon J. R. Green's History of the English People, but, as the student will very soon find, it is not intended to take the place of that or of any other history. Its purpose is to send him to the various histories, of the period with a definite object in view, and its purpose will not be accomplished unless it does so. Its author hopes that by the use of this Topical Analysis the young student will be saved many a weary hour of misdirected effort, and enabled to grasp some methods of historical study that will be found both fruitful and pleasurable. That this Analysis will facilitate an illegitimate cram its author docs not believe, if he did, it would never have been written. Thanks to the efforts of our educational authorities, every school in the Province is likely to cave a good reference library, and it may confidently be expected that the historical department will contain most of the standard histories. This Analysis assumes this, and its author believes that he will have done a good work if he succeeds in turning the attention of the pupils of our schools away from bare outlines, and sends them to the perusal of works, the reading of which is an education of itself.
