| Summary | "History for Ready Reference, Volume 6: Recent History - 1894-5 to 1901 A-Z" by J. N. Larned is a historical reference work published at the turn of the 20th century. This volume, part of a larger, multi-volume series, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of significant historical events and changes occurring from the mid-1890s to the early 1900s. It is likely to appeal to readers interested in detailed historical documentation and analysis of the period, including geopolitical changes, significant wars, and social developments. The opening of this volume features a preface that outlines the purpose and scope of the work. Larned explains that after the first five volumes were published, substantial global changes warranted the creation of an additional volume that bridges the historical gaps left behind. This text aims to present history in a dynamic, engaging manner, capturing the evolution of events as they happened, rather than as isolated studies. The author emphasizes the urgency of documenting pertinent events leading up to the Spanish-American War and the ensuing conflicts, imperial endeavors in Africa, and other significant political dramas of the late 19th century. This volume offers a fresh perspective on history, presenting it in the words of contemporary historians and utilizing authentic documents to provide a well-rounded view of the era.
