Synopsis
Excerpt from A Selection of the Principal Navigation Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation
However, since the fitness of boys to enter our great public schools and Universities depends,_ to a large degree, on the number of dry facts they have been able to learn by a given time, it is necessary for them to address themselves to the collection of such knowledge with diligence, if not with relish. The object of this book is to swamp the powder with rich jam 3 the powder then will be but an evil memory 3 a love of jam will remain with them all their lives. Now, were history the dry bread that examiners would have us believe it to be, all we could do would be to thank God for novelists and to devour their works.
