A SHORT HISTORY OF ENGLISH PEOPLE
CONTENTS
CONTENTS. <...> At the risk of sacrificing much that was interesting and attractive in itself,
and which the constant usage of our historians has made familiar to English readers, I have preferred to pass
lightly and briefly over the details of foreign wars and diplomacies, the personal adventures of kings and nobles,
the pomp of courts, or the intrigues of favourites, and to dwell at length on the incidents of that constitutional,
intellectual, and social advance in which we read the history of the nation itself. <...> It is with this purpose that I have
devoted more space to Chaucer than to Cressy, to Caxton than to the petty strife of Yorkist and Lancastrian, to
the Poor Law of Elizabeth than to her victory at Cadiz, to the Methodist revival than to the escape of the Young
Pretender. <...> Whatever the worth of the present work may be, I have striven throughout that it should never sink into a
"drum and trumpet history." It is the reproach of historians that they have too often turned history into a mere
record of the butchery of men by their fellow-men. <...> If I have said little of the glories of Cressy, it is because I have dwelt much on the wrong and misery
which prompted the verse of Longland and the preaching of Ball. <...> I have restored to their place among the achievements of
Englishmen the "Faerie Queen" and the "Novum Organum." I have set Shakspere among the heroes of the
Elizabethan age, and placed the scientific inquiries of the Royal Society side by side with the victories of the
New Model. <...> In a
brief summary of our history such as the present, it was impossible to dwell as I could have wished to dwell on
every phase of this development; but I have endeavoured to point out, at great crises, such as those of the Peasant
Revolt or the rise of the New Monarchy, how much of our political history is the outcome of social changes; and
throughout I have drawn greater attention to the religious, intellectual, and industrial progress of the nation itself
than has, so far as I remember, ever been done in any previous history of the same extent. <...> THE ENGLISH KINGDOMS.
