Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of European History The study of European History as a whole has long been known in the schools of the Continent and the United States of America; but it has only lately been introduced into England. It must be-still considered as in the experimental stage so far as methods are concerned, though few will doubt that the subject in-some form or other must ultimately be recognized as forming an important part in any scheme of education. It is true of history, though not perhaps of all studies, that the whole is greater and better than its parts. The greatest prize that awaits the student of history is not a knowledge of antiquarian detail, but the wide outlook over all the ages, and an understanding of the chief phases through which civilization has passed and of the chief influences that have moulded it.
