This volume, which is a portion of a book that was used in Charlotte Mason's schools for English History, contains the history of Britain from the beginning of Tudor Period through the reign of joint-sovereigns William III and Mary. "A small book, written in simple language, sufficiently full to serve for reference, and at the same time sufficiently interesting to be read as well as to be consulted, and a book within the reach of all in matter of price, is what very many men and women, both young and old, undoubtedly require. To supply such a book has been the sole aim of the author." -H. O. Arnold-Forster Originally published before 1923, it tells of characters and events which are worthy of study today. "It is a great thing to possess a pageant of history in the background of one's thoughts...the present becomes enriched with the wealth of all that has gone before." (Charlotte Mason)
