Excerpt from The Church in English History: A Manual for Catholic Schools, Being an Outline of the Most Important Events, From the Introduction of Christianity to Catholic Emancipation in 1829This work, which is intended as a manual for teachers and history students in secondary and higher grade schools, does not pretend to be a complete or exhaustive study of the influence of the Church on English history. Such a book, by the very depth and breadth of the subject, and by the time necessary for its proper digestion, would be totally useless for schools, where the utmost that can be done in the domain of history is to give the student a correct out line of leading events, their causes and effects, and a comprehensive survey from a bird's-eye point of view. But outlines and map-like views are apt to be tedious and uninteresting, whereas to create an interest in the subject taught is a most essential part of instruction, and no instruction that is good for anything is based on any other foundation. It is hoped, therefore, that slight as this sketch necessarily is it will not be wholly wanting in attractiveness, and that those whom it leads to the desire for a more complete study of the subject will be helped thereto by the works referred to in the foot notes, which supply an ample bibliography.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
