“The most serious defect, as it seems to me, appears in the author’s readiness to accept current popular account of certain important facts without that thorough investigation of them, which he might have given.” Guy Stevens Callendar.

Fletcher, Charles R. L. Introductory history of England, v. 2, From Henry VII. to the restoration. *$2. Dutton.
A history for boys. “With remarkable skill Mr. Fletcher contrives to illustrate with the minimum of dry material those clear and balanced generalizations which form the main value of history as a school study. Problems and situations are summed up with the necessary concentration which the older text-books lacked, yet for the most part with scholarly precision.” (Acad.)
“In spite of these unconventional views, on the whole Mr. Fletcher’s book is a valuable addition to our school literature, it is the outcome of the new historical school and puts the different personages before us in a way not to be found in any other school history.”
