I read an article by someone high up in the military earlier this year saying how important the knowledge of history is to someone in his position. I looked up Bulwer & he wrote 'The Last Days of Pompei,'amongst others.

Drawing was considered very important (laying out future battle plans on paper) and French (studying French Military tactics). Grant was a reader of novels....Ed Bulwer (never heard of him) and James Fenimore Cooper and Sir Walter Scott.<br />As you said ...a mix of inspirational and disciplinary subjects is needed to develop a mind!n@ncyhttps://nancyelin.wordpress.com/2017/06/18/ragtime/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-82182065554035833902017-06-16T01:37:58.908+10:002017-06-16T01:37:58.908+10:00Sooooo helpful! :)Sooooo helpful! :)Amy Mariehttps://hearthridgereflections.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-63804337079631138942017-06-15T12:06:56.694+10:002017-06-15T12:06:56.694+10:00You're very welcome :)You're very welcome :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-41397389392493640652017-06-15T12:06:37.159+10:002017-06-15T12:06:37.159+10:00Thank you, Silvia.

I don't often hear the Wordsmith book mentioned in home ed circles. It's older & there have been so many other books published since I first bought it but it's easy to use, inexpensive & does the job.
