Excerpt from An Universal History of the United States of America: Embracing the Whole Period From the Earliest Discoveries, Down to the Present Time; In Three Parts From the settlement of Jamestown to the embarkation of the Plymouth Company. The discovery of America by Columbus, gave a new impulse to that hold spirit of adventure which characteri zed the hardy age in which he lived. Although several men of rank and fortune were concerned in the companies which had been formed in England for colonising Ameri ca, their funds appear to have been very limited, and their first efl'orts were extremely feeble. The first expedition for the southern colony consisted of one vessel of 100 to and two barks, with 105 men destined to remain m th.' country. The command of this small fleet was given 1 Captain Newport, who sailed from the Thames the of December, 1606. At the time his instructions were given, three packages, sealed with the seal of the council were delivered, one to Captain Netvport, one to Captor Bartholomew Gosnald, and the third to C a tain John Rat ohfi'e, containing the names of the counci for the colony. They were directed not to open these packages within hours after their arrival on the coast of Virginia, and the names of his majesty's council were then to be proclaim' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Abridged History of the United States: Or Republic of America The leading objects of the author of this work, have been to give the events of the history with clearness and accuracy; with such illustrations of time and place addressed to the eye, as shall secure their retention in the memory; and, at the same time, with such an order of arrangement, as will enable the mind to recall, at need, what it thus retains. This we regard as important, not only with respect to this particular study; but as rightly laying out the ground-plan of the intellect, so far as the whole range of history is concerned. We have endeavoured to make the book convenient, - by side notes with dates, - by numbered paragraphs of suitable length for reading classes, - and by questions on each paragraph, placed at the bottom of the page. These questions are so put, that youthful teachers may avail themselves of the author's long experience, to acquire a manner of questioning, which, while it is not obscure, will yet oblige the pupil to think, and which will bring into relief prominent points. We have, indeed, been desirous to cultivate the memory, the intellect, and the taste. But much more anxious have we been to sow the seeds of virtue, by showing the good in such amiable lights, that the youthful heart shall kindle into desires of imitation. And we have been careful to give clear conceptions of those deeds, which are proper to imitate; while, with regard to bad actions, we have, as far as possible, given the result, rather than the detail.

Excerpt from History of the United States: Or Republic of America AT 9. Time when the accumulated mass of knowledge is great, beyond the human capacity, service is done to science, by clear ar rangement and devices addressed to the eye. If the faculties are en abled to seize and hold fast the frame-work of an important subject, future facts will naturally find and keep their own place in the mind, and the whole subject rest there in philosophical order. Not only is this important, as respects the particular study thus ac quired; but as regards intellectual habits and general improvement. To accomplish these ends, with regard to the history of the Uni ted States, is one of the main objects of the present work. Its plan is chronographically exhibited in front of the title page. The maps, included between the periods of the work, coincide in time with the branches of the subject; and the sketches on the maps picture the events there expressed in words. But most minds find it dificult to remember dates, though ever so well arranged; and hence experienced educationists recommend that the memory should not in this respect be overtaxed; but that dates should rather be kept at hand in books, to be consulted as occasion requires. Hence, the importance of arrangements in printed works, by which dates may stand prominent, and be easily found. A cur sory glance at the chronological table, and along the margin of this work, may satisfy the observer that this task has been executed with faithfulness.

Excerpt from History of the United States of America I have added a very compendious account of some of the principal empires of ancient and modern times. To have noticed the minor states of former or recent days would have been to swell this performance beyond the size intended; nor should I have known where with propriety to pause. The Chronological Table cannot fail to attract the attention of youthful minds. The Constitution of the United States ought not only to be studied in our schools, but should find a place on every family shelf, with the Bible and the catechism.

Excerpt from A History of the United States Many years had to follow the close Of the conflict before it was possible for an American to look upon its causes and its results without passion or prejudice. But the coun try has, at length, become united in sentiment as well as in name.

With prejudice eliminated from the account Of the Old sectional controversies, the minds Of the children Of a reunited country may be more readily directed toward the study Of the marvelous progress Of America.

Excerpt from Illustrated Universal History: A Clear and Concise History of All Nations, With a Full History of the United States to the Close of the First 100 Years of Our National Independence For convenience, though somewhat arbitrarily, the work is divided into three parts, each containing the record of an important era in the history of the world. Book First contains an historical account of the ancient world, embracing the period from the Creation of Man to the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, A. D. 476. Book Second embraces the history of the Middle Ages, comprising the time from the Fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Discovery of America, inclusive. Book, Third comprises a record of the modern period, describing the epoch from the Discovery of America to the present time. Great historical events have been arranged logically rather than chronologically, and great care has been taken to detail facts in proportion to their relative impor tance. The author has also taken great pains to omit what is irrelevant, and he has selected from the great mass of historical matter those events which have exerted a controlling influence upon the destinies of the world.
