Fletcher, Charles Robert Leslie. Introductory history of England, from the earliest times to the close of the middle ages. [*]$2. Dutton.
“Mr. Fletcher’s book is ‘introductory’ in a double sense. Besides being intended for boys, it stops at the beginning of the Tudor period. In style, it is explanatory, and the author is enabled, by excising a large number of subjects, to treat those that remain with tolerable fulness of detail.”—Nation.
“He gives a fresh and really interesting connected narrative of England’s emergence from barbarism and the beginnings of her national and institutional life. There are surely very many older readers who will find the book more fascinating than most novels.”
