Excerpt from Readings in English History From Original Sources, Vol. 3 The day is past when History is looked upon as a dry and uninteresting study. Nothing, when pro perly taught, can be more interesting, dramatic, intensely luminous, and at the same time useful. Taking our own rough island story, what do we learn therein?
