MAP OF ENGLAND. By T. C. RONEY, Instructor in History, Denison University, Granville, Ohio. INTRODUCTION PRICE, 25 CENTS. The attention of teachers is invited to the following features of this Map: 1. It emphasizes the vital connection (too often neglected) between History and Geography. 2. It leads the student through â——the eye gateâ—— into the fair fields of English History. 3. It gives a local habitation to his often vague ideas of time and place. 4. It serves as an historical laboratory, in which he makes practical application of acquired facts, in accordance with the most approved method of teaching History. 5. It presents a few prominent facts, to which he is to add others singly and consecutively. In particular: 1. The exhibition, side by side, of different periods illustrates by the approximate identity of boundaries a real historical unity of development. 2. The studentâ——s attention is called to the culmination of Saxon England, and the overweening power and disintegrating tendencies of the great earldoms just before the Norman conquest, as marking the turning-point of English History. 3. The water-shed has been sufficiently indicated by the insertion of a few rivers. 4. As an aid to the memory, the modern counties are grouped under the divisions of Saxon England. 5. Special attention is called to the insertion of Cathedral towns, as touching upon the ecclesiastical history of England. 6. This Map can be used effectively with a class in English Literature, to record an authorâ——s birthplace, the scene of a story, poem, or drama, etc. D. C.
