Excerpt from Story of the Isle of Man: An Historical Reader for the Manx Schools I have to thank the Rev. S. A. P. Kermode, M.A., and a Committee of Public Elementary School Teachers for many valuable suggestions. I have also to thank the Rev. F. F. Cornish, M.A. (Head Inspector of the N.W. district of England and Wales, of which the Isle of Man forms a part), who has read the MS. of this book, for the following kind remarks about it: - "I was very glad when I heard that you were going to write a short history of the Isle of Man for schools, and having read it, I think it is quite adapted for the use of our older scholars; for it gives a plain, pleasantly written and well rounded off account of the fortunes of your Island, beginning in the half-mythical past and ending in the realities and duties of the present. If this little book docs its work as a first step in local history, we may look forward to its leaving the readers with the desire to learn more upon the same subject. Thus they would naturally be led to Peveril of the Peak and see how Scott's glowing imagination has lighted up the connexion between the history of England and of Man in those stirring times.
