ANNIE E. MCKILLIAM (????–????)

A Chronicle Of The Popes From St. Peter To Pius X (1912)

ℹ️ "THIS volume, as its name indicates, claims to be no more than a chronicle as distinguished from a history—a simple record of facts and events rather than an attempt to discuss even briefly the causes, movements, and results to which these facts and events bear witness. The hold which the Church so rapidly gained over the minds of men, the vast and penetrating power which it has exercised throughout all the states of Christendom, make the history of the Papacy almost synonymous with a history of the civilized world from the early centuries of the Christian era, and its adequate treatment is beyond the capacity of any single writer. The works of Creighton, Luchaire, Mann, Milman, De Montor, Pastor, Ranke, and others, show the lengths to which sections of the subject may extend, and it is only in this way that it can be satisfactorily dealt with.

The chief disadvantage of these voluminous works, however, is that even when they are all available to the ordinary student, which is not always the case, they only deal with aspects or periods more or less isolated in the long history of the Papacy. Moreover, the manner in which they treat the subject is in most cases too diffuse to be of service except to such students as have unlimited time at their disposal.

Several years' study of the subject has convinced the writer that a handbook in one volume chronicling the names, dates, and chief facts concerning each Pope from St. Peter to the present Pontiff—data which must otherwise be sought in a many-tomed cyclopaedia will not be unwelcome to the historical student."

The Highways Of The World (1920)

ℹ️ "This book has been prepared for use as a Geographical Reader in the middle forms of Secondary Schools or in the higher standards of Elementary Schools.

The old-fashioned method of teaching Geography, which consisted in setting the pupils to learn long lists of place-names to which little interest could be attached, has of recent years been abolished. The Board of Education now requires that the instruction in Geography should rest on a scientific basis, beginning in the elementary stages with the study of physical phenomena, and proceeding to topographical facts.

It is now considered desirable that the geographical information imparted should be of a nature likely to stimulate the interest of the scholars in the study of the natural features of their own and of distant countries, and that it should also deal with facts the nature of which may be likely to prove useful to them in later life. Some chain of connexion should, if possible, exist between the lessons given in each course.

The present work treats of that aspect of Geography—partly physical and partly topographical—which is involved in the history of the great trade-routes of the world. Some of these are of the highest antiquity, whilst others are shown to have been developed with the growth of discovery and invention.

While, therefore, the book is intended to be only supplementary to a detailed course, it covers a fairly wide field, and will, it may be hoped, prove useful as an introduction to the study of commercial Geography, a branch of the subject which is now receiving ever-increasing attention."
