The Book of Battles; or, Daring Deeds by Land and Sea/ Google Books
This is not an academic book, but interesting for older teens and adults.
The book of battles; or, Daring deeds by land and sea [ed. by E. Shelton and C. Jones], By Book, Edward Shelton
Published by , 1867
Original from Oxford University
From the Prospectus:
"The Editor, however, will exercise great caution to avoid errors into
which he might easily fall. First, the Narratives will be strictly true,
so that the reader may have before him the actions of men like himself —
not creations of an author's brain. Then, the details of most Exciting
Adventures will not be overcharged for the mere purpose of producing
a morbid sensation. Over sufferings incidental to War the veil will be
gently drawn, and at heroic deeds involving often the rise of One Man
upon the sacrifice of Thousands there will only be expressed the admiration
of a rational observer in a Christian country."

King Arthur's Knights The Tales Re-told for Boys & Girls/Project Gutenburg
Then a cry came from among the common people, and so strong was it that the nobles looked as if they hated to hear it.
'Let Arthur draw the sword!' was the call from a thousand throats.
The venerable archbishop came and took Arthur by the hand, and led him towards the sword. Again the young man held the rich pommel with his single hand, and that which none of the forty-nine great men could do, he did as easily as if he but plucked a flower.
A fierce cry leaped from among the thousands of the common people.
'Arthur shall be our King!' they cried. 'Arthur is our King! We will no longer deny him!'
A wonderful read-aloud or story for older children to read. It is a bit difficult with the old English, so I'm guessing age 12 and up for readability. Click here.

Excerpt from Introduction:
Thou hast made us for Thyself, and we cannot find rest until we find it in Thee. — ST. AUGUSTINE. These familiar words, which show the purpose of our creation and the true goal of life, also point to the end and aim of all sound education. Education is complete and ideal only as it trains and develops the whole being in the manner intended by the Creator. True education will embrace instruction and guidance in Religion, Science, History, Literature and Art, for these represent the child's entire nature and so cover the full range of his possibilities.
