520 _a"History for Ready Reference, Volumes 1 to 5" by J. N. Larned is a comprehensive historical compendium written in the late 19th century. This work, comprising five main volumes and two supplementary ones, is aimed at providing readers with access to a wide range of historical knowledge and literature in the English language. Each volume collates significant historical events, figures, and documents, making it a valuable resource for students, teachers, and history enthusiasts alike. The opening of the text outlines the author's intent and structure of the work, emphasizing its dual aims: to exhibit the better literature of history and to arrange it in an organized manner for easy reference. Larned describes the meticulous selection process, where he has gathered and preserved notable writings from various historians and specialists, while also including essential documents such as charters and proclamations. Through an alphabetical and chronological arrangement, the work promises to offer a more engaging narrative than typical encyclopedic summaries, ensuring that readers can easily navigate through the extensive history presented within its pages.
