INTRODUCTION

Thisseries of English History Source Books is intended foruse with any ordinary textbook of English History. Experiencehas conclusively shown that such apparatus is a valuable—nay,an indispensable—adjunct to the history lesson. It iscapable of two main uses: either by way of lively illustrationat the close of a lesson, or by way of inference-drawing, beforethe textbook is read, at the beginning of the lesson. The kindof problems and exercises that may be based on the documentsare legion, and are admirably illustrated in a History ofEngland for Schools, Part I., by Keatinge and Frazer, pp.377-381. However, we have no wish to prescribe for theteacher the manner in which he shall exercise his craft, butsimply to provide him and his pupils with materials hithertonot readily accessible for school purposes. The very moderateprice of the books in this series should bring them within thereach of every secondary school. Source books enable thepupil to take a more active part than hitherto in the historylesson. Here is the apparatus, the raw material: its use weleave to teacher and taught.

Our belief is that the books may profitably be used by allgrades of historical students between the standards of fourth-formboys in secondary schools and undergraduates at Universities.What differentiates students at one extreme fromthose at the other is not so much the kind of subject-matterdealt with, as the amount they can read into or extractfrom it.

In regard to choice of subject-matter, while trying tosatisfy the natural demand for certain "stock" documents{vi}of vital importance, we hope to introduce much fresh andnovel matter. It is our intention that the majority of theextracts should be lively in style—that is, personal, or descriptive,or rhetorical, or even strongly partisan—and shouldnot so much profess to give the truth as supply data for inference.We aim at the greatest possible variety, and lay undercontribution letters, biographies, ballads and poems, diaries,debates, and newspaper accounts. Economics, London, municipal,and social life generally, and local history, are representedin these pages.

The order of the extracts is strictly chronological, eachbeing numbered, titled, and dated, and its authority given.The text is modernised, where necessary, to the extent ofleaving no difficulties in reading.

We shall be most grateful to teachers and students who maysend us suggestions for improvement.
