Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the United States From the Discovery of the American Continent to the Present Time: With a Full Account of the National Centennial Celebration
The engravings are introduced not for the sole purpose of embellishing the volume, but to enhance its utility as an instructor. Every picture is intended to illustrate a fact, not merely to beautify the page. Great care has been taken to secure accuracy in all the delineations of men and things, so that they may not convey false instruction. Geographical maps have been omitted, because they must necessarily be too small to be of essential service. History may be read for the purpose of obtaining general infor mation on the subject, without maps, but it should never be studied without the aid of an accurate Atlas.
