Excerpt from Merill's English History: For School and Home Use At the request of the publishers, I have undertaken to revise this excellent little book for use in this country. I fully agree with them in the opinion that it is likely to be of service both as a text-book for young pupils and as "supplementary reading, " either in school or at home. In the original work, which was written exclusively for juvenile Britons, there were many expressions and some allusions that would be inappropriate and occasionally unintelligible - at least, for children - on this side of the ocean. These have been modified or omitted, and sundry other verbal changes that seemed to me advisable have been made. These alterations, though for the most part very slight, occur on nearly every page. I have found few errors in the statement of historical facts to correct, but here and there I have thought it well to add a paragraph or two to the text. The last chapter has also been brought down to the present time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
