Excerpt from Why Is History Read So Little?: An Address to Parents, Teachers, and Members of Fashionable Society, by a Student of History
Having, for several years, been a reader and student of history and English Literature, I have noticed how few there are around us that read history. In publishing this little pamphlet I am trying to show the reasons for this lack of study and reading, and hope it may draw the attention of parents and teachers to desire more carefully to attend to the instruction of the young.
What is contained in this pamphlet was first written in the form of letters to a friend. A desire was expressed that they should be printed, so I have re-arranged, and now call your attention to them. I do not claim that there is anything very new in them, and do not desire to be called a critic or historian because of them. All the statements I know to be true, many of them I have seen in practice when at school.
