Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient History: Illustrated by Colored Maps, and a Chronological Chart, for the Use of Families and Schools The work, of which the present one is a revision, was originally prepared several years since, and was soon used with great satisfaction in some of the best educational institutions in the State of New York. In consequence of the death of its accomplished author, the work (not being stereotyped) passed out of print after two large editions had become exhausted. At the suggestion of several eminent educators, who wen anxious to have it for use in the institutions under their own charge, the present edition has been published. Its preparation was committed to Mr. John J. Anderson, whose long experience as a teacher, and whose peculiar fitness for writing history for use in schools, as had been shown by the great favor with which his series of School Histories of the United States had been received, indicated him as eminently qualified for the task. His work has been chiefly confined to dividing the matter into convenient paragraphs, with suitable questions upon each, and the addition of a valuable series of review questions, placed after each principal division. He has left the body of the work as the author wrote it, with very slight exceptions. Indeed, one of its essential characteristics is the author's singular felicity of expression, combined with great brevity and clearness of statement. These and other qualities have rendered it exceedingly attractive - interesting, while instructing the pupil, and making the study of ancient history, usually so dry, pleasant and agreeable to the young.
