Synopsis

Outlines Of English History Including Notices Of The National Manners And Customs, Dress, Arts, Etc. Of The Various Periods by Henry Ince and James Gilbert is a comprehensive educational primer that surveys English history from ancient Britain through the early modern era. The work presents the major eras—Roman Britain, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart, Commonwealth, and Hanoverian periods—via concise narrative, introductory prefaces, and a system of “Principal Facts, in Rhyme.” It combines historical outline with biographical notes, genealogical charts, and supplementary memoranda, aiming to reinforce chronology and geography alongside historical events. The text emphasizes civics and national manners, and it includes a Chronological Table and a wealth of supplementary material designed for school use, making it suitable as a foundational reference for students. The edition reflects late nineteenth-century educational publishers’ efforts to standardize accessible, teacher-guided history instruction for a broad readership.
