Excerpt from Reference Handbook of Roman History: From the Earliest Times to the Death of Commodus, 753 B. C. 192 A. D.; By the Library Method, for Schools and Colleges The accompanying work is the outcome of several years of experience and experiment in the teaching of History. The frequent complaint, I don't like History, led to discard ing the old method of assigning a uniform lesson from a single text-book, with its brief outline of important events. Mommsen's four-volume History of Rome, Philip Smith's three-volume History of the World, and two or three brief school text-books by different authors, were placed upon the teacher's desk. Several topics were written on the blackboard, and the class told to look them up in any of the aforesaid books. The inability of the young pupil to use a library became at once appar ent. He could not find his way among the multitude of minor details and side issues in the more elaborate works. Thus, learning to use books became a practical part of the advantage in this method. To avoid unnecessary discouragement attendant on this experience, the teacher added to the topics the volume, and later, the pages, on which the essentials of the subject were to be found. The topics are arranged, so far as possible, in a chronological order; but when unity of subject has occasionally demanded it, chronology has. Been sacrificed to logic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
