Excerpt from A History of England: For the Use of Schools
The increasing study of History in our schools is, doubt less, a hopeful sign for the future of the Republic. A free government depends for its honor, if not for its very life, upon the good sense and moral steadfastness of the people; and these may be greatly reinforced by the experience of mankind. And, surely, the history of which we can least afford to be ignorant is that of our mother-country.
That branch of the great German race which was planted fourteen centuries ago on British soil, grew, under exception ally favoring influences, to be the admiration of the world. The history of the long series of popular conquests, nobly won and firmly held, - from Magna Charta to that Bill of Rights which was the prelude to our own Declaration of Independence, - contains a fund of political wisdom which no nation, and ours the least of all, can safely neglect.
Though there is a certain literal and obvious patriotism in placing the History of the United States first, or even alone in the school course where but one book can be studied, yet we do well to remember that English History is, in a very special sense, our own'; and it is difficult to imagine how the spirit of American institutions can be understood, without some knowledge of the circumstances in Great Britain which led to the formation and afterward to the independence of our earliest states.
