It is arranged in the catechetical form, and contains all the important facts of American History, systematized in such a manner that the pupil advances with profit and pleasure. 2d. Maps, with special reference to the matter, are introduced, with geographical exercises, affording the learner a knowledge of the localities of battle-grounds, forts, &c., mentioned in history. 3d. The Review of each year, or period, will be found very serviceable in rendering more impressive the parts over which the learner has just passed. A valuable feature here is, that the questions in the Review are not only varied in form, but the questions and answers of the preceding exercises are reversed in the Review: - thus, in the exercises - "In what year was America discovered? Ans.1492." The Review Question would be, - "For what is the year 1492 memorable?" 4th. As beginners are so often perplexed and discouraged in their efforts to commit to memory the dates, these are inclosed in parentheses; so that they may be omitted until the learner has acquired a thorough knowledge of the events. 5th.
