Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of General History: Embracing All the Leading Events in the World's History From the Earliest Period to the End of the Late Civil War in the United States
Works on History have had their usefulness much impaired by the introduction of too many names, dates and details which give no valuable information. The multiplicity of these is apt to confuse the mind, and make the study itself dry and uninteresting. This evil the author has endeavored to avoid.
