Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History or the United States: From the Discovery of America to the Close of the Year 1862; For the Use of Schools
The compiler of the following pages, during his long experience as a teacher, often felt the necessity of a text book which should give a correct and lucid exposition of American history.
He found the youthful memory burdened with extra neons matter, clogged with abstractions, and wearied with the petty details of colonial government.
If History is Philosophy teaching by example, it should appear to us in a pure and truthful garb, unsullied by party prejudice or sectarian bigotry.
