Elliot REBUILDING THE BURNT NAVE OF A CHURCH 1681, SHOWING SCAFFOLDING AND WINDLASSES. J. A. Graffan del. Print Room, Dresden. PREFACE HPHE object of this series is to give a view of the Social life of each century through the eyes of the people who lived in it. We have tried to select records suitable for general and school use, which has meant examining some thousands of MSS., prints, drawings and reference books, and only by careful selection and examination could the results be condensed into an inexpensive series. A general introduction outlines the characteristics of the century, and a series of notes gives points of detail. The eighty-five plates comprise 166 pictures covering the main departments of human life. From opinions received we think that beyond doubt the illustrations of Social History from the contemporary graphic art of the period treated has been of great value and interest to a number of persons but we do not think that teachers as a whole are unanimously sympathetic with these contemporary representations. We cannot help feeling that the contemporary pictures represent the life of a period in a manner unsurpassed for vivid inter pretation, graphic power, and wealth of detail. The subjects also have in most cases greater artistic vigour and value than any modern transcripts, and we feel that Copyright, 1929 by DorothyHartley and Margaret M.

Drawings of a later century, though inferior for Social life, can depict, if carried out by good artists, the archi tecture and interior decoration of an historic period with accuracy and feeling hence we have included two of Joseph Nashs water-colours of Interiors. The advisability for teachers to become decidedly more intimately acquainted with the periods which they teach has beenemphasised by a recent trenchant report of an Inspector of History Teaching which received some publicity in the Press at the time. We do not necessarily point to our own series as the remedy we would rather simply asseverate that these are the lines upon which we have been working for some years, and that this nearer and more intimate knowledge of the background to historical events is what we have sought to stimulate. This volume is exactly parallel to the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centimes. Bookseller Inventory # AAV9781406730487
