IN republishing this book, written many years ago for children, I have tried to make it suitable for somewhat older readers than those to whom it was at first addressed. It is still intended for young people who have no previous knowledge of the subject, but it is supposed that they will be of an age when proper names, dates, and tables of events are looked upon as helps, not hindrances, to the matter in hand.
