Excerpt from A History of Medieval and Modern EuropeThe attempt has been made to narrate the history of the more important countries together in chronological order, in stead of giving to each a separate treatment, and so obliging the reader to move forward and backward along the Chrono logical series and, by an unusual effort of attention, make the necessary correlation of events, or fail to gain an adequate con ception of the progress of Europe as a whole. Many events in one country directly affected events in another or at least illustrated similar tendencies in thought or in institutions.The result of the attempt to narrate the history of Europe in this way may occasionally seem to lack the compactness and clearness of a separate treatment, but it Should possess the advantages of a larger unity, making intelligible what might otherwise seem the consequence of individual caprice or of chance. This method should also accustom the pupil to group events, in order by discovering their relations to gain more of their meaning.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
