"We introduce children as early as possible to the contemporary history of other countries as the study of English history alone is apt to lead to a certain insular and arrogant habit of mind." (Vol. 6, p. 175)
"The flowers, it is true, are not new; but the children are; and it is the fault of their elders if every new flower they come upon is not to them a Picciola, a mystery of beauty to be watched from day to day with unspeakable awe and delight." (Vol.1, p.53)

| 0:00.0 | The Oh, Welcome back to a delectable education, the podcast that spreads the feast of the Charlotte Mason method. |
| 0:36.0 | We've been discussing Bible and geography in our last couple episodes and we have been getting a lot of listener questions. |
| 0:44.0 | So we thought we would do another question and answer |
| 0:46.9 | episode today and we're going to focus all on history because we are getting |
| 0:51.8 | tons of questions about the history rotations that we talked about back in episode 12. If you |
| 0:57.9 | haven't listened to that one you might want to pop back there before you |

| 1:08.0 | especially that we talked about the history rotations and also the history books. I just wanted to let our |
| 1:14.0 | listeners know who haven't seen them yet that we have put up some charts that are |
| 1:18.4 | visual aids that help describe what we talked about in those episodes and there's a lot of comments from |
| 1:24.2 | listeners there and we've pulled some of our most common questions that we've |
| 1:28.4 | been asked about the history and we're going to address those on the |

| 1:48.7 | over the last several years when we've talked about studying the same time period in history and starting with American. |
| 1:54.4 | But I think what is helpful to understand from the P&E programs that I looked at is |
| 1:59.5 | Stromat Mason really considered prior to a thousand a.d. to be unrecorded history of |
| 2:05.2 | Britain. I mean we have a lot more nebulous time there. We do know some |
