Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abridged History of the United States: Or Republic of America The leading objects of the author of this work, have been to give the events of the history with clearness and accuracy; with such illustrations of time and place addressed to the eye, as shall secure their retention in the memory; and, at the same time, with such an order of arrangement, as will enable the mind to recall, at need, what it thus retains. This we regard as important, not only with respect to this particular study; but as rightly laying out the ground-plan of the intellect, so far as the whole range of history is concerned. We have endeavoured to make the book convenient, - by side notes with dates, - by numbered paragraphs of suitable length for reading classes, - and by questions on each paragraph, placed at the bottom of the page. These questions are so put, that youthful teachers may avail themselves of the author's long experience, to acquire a manner of questioning, which, while it is not obscure, will yet oblige the pupil to think, and which will bring into relief prominent points. We have, indeed, been desirous to cultivate the memory, the intellect, and the taste. But much more anxious have we been to sow the seeds of virtue, by showing the good in such amiable lights, that the youthful heart shall kindle into desires of imitation. And we have been careful to give clear conceptions of those deeds, which are proper to imitate; while, with regard to bad actions, we have, as far as possible, given the result, rather than the detail.

This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States, a Graphic History In other words, this vast, potential reading public has not been reading serious books, particularly of the non-fiction variety. Why is this? One may hazard a number of reasons. First, perhaps, is to be noted the fact that serious non-fiction books heretofore have been written as a rule for that highly trained minority which has had a university education or its equivalent. Such books too often have employed the special vocabularies to which even the social sciences have succumbed. Also, more frequently than not, books have not been basic books; that is to say, they have assumed a familiarity with underlying assumptions and have taken up a tale which started somethose who have not had university educations. Its text is brief it is not more than words in length. The visual aids it employs, pictorial statistics in this case, are an integral part Of the book rather than simply illustrative material. Mechanically, the book is everything one might wish: its type-face is clear and easy to read; the book's bulk is not excessive; and its price is low. It has been said that the pictorial statistics in The United States: A Graphic History are as much a part of the work as the text itself. Indeed, the reader may obtain a fairly good notion of the nature of the economic develop ment Of the United States, historically conceived either by reading the text alone continuously or by consulting the charts Without any reference to the text at all. But he is likely to get a fuller and more rounded presentation one that ordinarily could have been achieved (through the printed word alone) only in a text four or five times the length of that employed here by a reading Of brief chapters and accompanying charts together. The text, in effect, plays a. Dual role: it is a continuous narrative and at the same time each chapter is explanatory Of the chart associated with it.

Such a subject ought not surely to lie waste. It should be thoroughly discussed. There ought to be a literature of freedom, accessible to everybody, and suited if possible to every body's wants. To which end, mine is a pioneer effort. I have had no predecessor to instruct me either by success or failure in a similar enterprise. Let me be judged accordingly. I have done as well as I could. And though my handling of the matter discussed should fail to please the public, they will yet allow me the solace of believing that I have done my country some small service by being the first to handle it at all since it is better the people should be led, by any guidance, to think upon what so nearly concerns them, than to go on talking, as the fashion is, without thinking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections: Six Years Residence, United States of America; Interspersed With Original Anecdotes, Illustrating the Manners of the Inhabitants; The Great Western Republic So much has of late years been written regarding the United States of America, that it almost looks like presumption to offer any thing new on the subject. In a country, however, of such extent, and amongst a people of such enterprise, there are circumstances worthy of remark daily occurring; and in submitting the following observations to the candour of my countrymen, I would, with all due deference, remark, that nothing can be more distant from my sentiments than to exalt America at the expense of Britain, or to depreciate the former at the expense of truth. Having spent nearly six years in different parts of the Union, I have no hesitation in saying, that, for the poor man of industry or perseverance, America holds out many inducements; to the man of capital, the temptation is not so great, considering the disadvantages inevitably attending emigration to a new country, and change of climate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Republic: A Brief History of the American People In the making of our Republic the deeds of pioneers, farmers, inventors, teachers, captains of labor, captains of industry, have been quite as important as the deeds of warriors and statesmen. This history, therefore, is not one of the drum and trumpet kind, nor' is it one in which the politician always holds the center of the stage. A large share of attention is given to the every - day life of the people; to the movement which carried American civilization westward and built up a Union of States; to the growth of our industrial system; to the great inventions which have contributed so largely to our competency in material things. The treatment of topics bearing upon our economic development is unusually full for the reason that the economic factor in the history of a nation, especially in the history of the American nation, is a subject of transcendent importance. There is much in Bagehot's saying The selling of figs, the cobbling of shoes, the manufacture of nails - these are the essence of life. While preparing the book the author received from the officers of the Library of Congress courtesies for which he is deeply in debted.

What is liberty as exemplified in American institutions? Where and how did it originate? Through what struggles and triumphs has it advanced? What peoples have always been its defenders, and how have its inﬂuence and bless ings been finally extended to include all nations of the earth? It is upon a knowledge of the facts implied in such questions as these that young American Citizens, whether native or foreign-born, are to become truly Americanized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular History of the United States of America: From the Aboriginal Times to the Present Day Dear People of the United States:- By this, my Preface, I offer to you a New History of your country - and mine. The work is presented in the form of an abridged narrative. My reasons for such a venture are brief, but, I trust, satisfactory: First, to every American citizen some knowledge of the history of his country is indispensable. The attainment of that knowledge ought to be made easy and delightful. Second, the Centennial of the Republic furnishes an auspicious occasion for the study of those great events which compose the warp and woof of the new civilization in the West. This book is intended for the average American; for the man of business who has neither time nor disposition to plod through ten or twenty volumes of elaborate historical dissertation; for the practical man of the shop, the counter, and the plow. The work is dedicated to the household and the library of the poor. It is inscribed to the father, the mother, the son, and the daughter of the American family. If father, mother, son, and daughter shall love their country better - if they shall understand more clearly and appreciate more fully the founding, progress, and growth of liberty in the New World - the author will be abundantly repaid.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years of the Republic, 1885-1905 When the new President entered the carriage which was to convey him to his official home, few gave any thought to a gentleman who had stood quietly beside him throughout the simple ceremonial, and who presently took friendly leave Of him with a cordial clasp Of the hand and a word or two Of congratulation and good will. It was the familiar little scene that has been so frequently enacted in our country - when one who, for a few short years, has been the ruler Of a nation and the peer Of monarchs, goes back, at the stroke of the clock, into the Obscurity Of private citizenship, unheeded and unheralded amid the strident din that welcomes his successor. There is always some thing half pathetic in this sudden transformation, yet it is impressive too; for it symbolises American reverence for law. Ex - President Arthur, though unnoticed at the moment when he quietly slipped away from Washington, carried with him into private life the respect and confidence Of all his countrymen, for he had governed well and wisely.

Book excerpt: The abridged edition of the enduring masterwork—a classic portrait of America's culture and people Originally penned in the mid-nineteenth century by Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America remains the most comprehensive, penetrating, and astute picture of American life, politics, and morals ever written, as relevant today as when it first appeared in print nearly two hundred years ago. This abridged edition by scholar and historian Scott A. Sandage includes a new introduction and editorial notes, and offers students and the general reader alike easy access to the preeminent translation by George Lawrence, widely recognized as the best translation based on the second revised and corrected text of the 1961 French edition, edited by J. P. Mayer.
