" So observes Mr. Charles Knight in his admirably comprehensive Popular History 

 of England, from which no topic that concerns the history of the English people— not 

 even this question of the history of parish registers — has been omitted ; that book of 

 Mr. Knight's being, let us say here, by the way, the best history extant, not only for, 

 but also of, the people." — Charles Dickens's All the Year Round.

Extract from the Preface. 



The "Popular History" was entitled a " History of Society and 

 Government." The "Crown History embraces, in the same way, the 

 State History and the Domestic. In a few cases, there are separate 

 chapters on the National Industry, on Literature, on the Arts ; but in 

 every period will be found some notice of those important characte- 

 ristics of the advance of a people, politically and intellectually. The 

 growth of our Constitution, through nineteen hundred years, in which 

 the Roman, the Saxon, and the Norman institutions became blended 

 in our system of representative government and municipal administra- 

 tion, was always accompanied, through many a struggle for personal 

 liberty and security of property, by the general progress of the people 

 in knowledge and industry.
