The Child’s Pictorial History of England

A juvenile history of England has long been needed in our primary schools.Those already prepared, and in use, are written in a style entirely beyond the capacities of young children, and too comprehensive in detail."History for children ought to be told in their own simple language, or it fails to interest them; while all that is unfitted for childish ears, or unsuited to a childish understanding, should be carefully omitted; at the same time, it is essential to avoid making false or imperfect impressions by an injudicious brevity."Philadelphia, 1853.
