Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, Vol. 1 As a rule, the method pursued is the separate and topical, rather than the chronological, as being more satisfactory and convenient for reference. That is, each topic is considered separately and exhaustively, instead of being blended, chronologically, with others. To pass from subject to subject, in the mere arbitrary order of time, is to sacrifice simplicity and order to complexity and confusion. Absolute freedom from error or defect in all cases, in handling so many thousands of items, is not claimed, and could not reasonably be expected of any finite intelligence since, in complicated cases, some element may possibly elude its sharpest scrutiny.' But every statement of fact, made herein without qualification, is believed to be strictly correct, and the statistics of the volume, as a whole, are submitted to its readers with entire confidence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, Vol. 2 In compiling this history of Carroll County the object has been to record facts relating to the lives of people who settled in this locality, beginning with the first settlements of an unoccupied country, to the end that a permanent record might be made which will be accessible for an unlimited time to those who have an interest therein. The life of a man, his achievements, what he has accomplished during his life, can be perpetuated in no better way, or preserved longer or more permanently than by the art of printing. It enables us to read the past, a reverence for which, a distinguished author says, is the basis for all sound progress.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, And, History of Christian County, Vol. 2: Illustrated The Munsell Publishing Company, of Chicago, in assuming the financial re sponsibility for this work, has rendered an invaluable service to the citizens of Christian County and of the state. This company has specialized for many years in historical publications. Its field of operations covers most Of the important counties of Illinois and its publications are recognized for their historical value. The first volume of the Historical Encyclopedia was written by Hon. Newton Bateman, at one time superintendent of public instruction of Illinois and a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln; and Paul Selby, who was the last survivor of that group of Illinois editors who held the historic conference in Decatur February 22, 1856, which led to a call for the first Republican Con vention in Illinois. The historical part of the second volume covering the history of Christian County was prepared by the undersigned who has aimed at his torical accuracy rather than literary effect. The material has been gleaned from Old settlers, previous histories and newspaper files. The writer has, because of other duties and responsibilities, been unable to devote all of his time for the past two years to this important work, yet it is believed that there are no serious omissions, while perfection cannot be claimed for the work of any man. With a solemn sense of his duty and privilege, he has striven to give the best people on earth a contribution which he hopes may prove worthy. Should mistakes be' found by the careful reader, they may be attributed to the frailties of human nature and not to purpose or intent. He is grateful to the many persons whose help and interest. Have made his task easier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois, Vol. 2: McHenry County Citizens Among the varied motives which operate upon the human mind, few exert a more far reaching inﬂuence than those drawn from history. If the intellectual, Social and moral conditions of a nation, rich in historic memories and associations, be compared with that of another chieﬂy or wholly destitute of these characteristics, the difference will be found as striking as it is comprehensive. The individual characteristics which go to make up the true strength of a great nation like England or the United States, is continuously fed by the memories of Cressy and Agincourt, Bunker Hill and Saratoga, while long centuries of darkness and bondage have enfeebled the Chinese and many other nations.
