Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from A General Sketch of Political History From the Earliest Times History is apt to present itself, not only to the youthful mind, as a haphazard collection of events grouped round a few interesting personalities, the groups of events being unconnected. A stage in advance of this is reached when we realise that English or Roman or Greek history is the story of the progress of a nation in which interesting personalities play only a part. At a third stage we discover that all history is the story of the progress of the human race, in which individual nations play only a part; that the separate histories are not isolated, but act on and are acted on by others; that the history of one period is the outcome of the preceding ages, as the history of the future will be the outcome of the history of the present. This conception of the unity of history as a whole is needful to the right understanding of our own or any other specific history; and an acquaintance, sound so far as it goes, with the ground plan of general history is exceedingly helpful to the conception. The aim of this work is to present such a ground-plan 'sound so far as it goes, ' which may enlarge the horizon of the student without such a multiplication of details as will 'prevent him from seeing the wood for the trees.'

Book Description
Excerpt from The Two Eras, Old and New: A Political and Historical Sketch of Our Government From 1789 to 1917 In this golden age of Virginia and the South, it was quite the fashion, however, to place a Northern man upon the national ticket, either as president or, more frequently, as vice-president, to preserve the balance of power and harmony between the sections. The older and younger Adams of Massachusetts, Van Buren of New York, Pierce of New Hampshire, and Buchanan of Pennsylvania, served these purposes as presidents; and George Clinton, Tompkins, Gerry, Dallas and F ill more, as vice-presidents. In this period of our history there was no West as we know it today. There were then but two great divisions, or sections, of our country: North and South. The for mer comprised all that part lying above Mason and Dixon's line; the latter, all that tract below it. In a word, the term North then meant the territory stretch ing from Pennsylvania northeast to and including New Hampshire; the term South, that extending southwest to and including Georgia. Pennsylvania, having six states beyond and six below her, was the pivot; hence her name of The Keystone State. The original thirteen colonies, or states, stretched along the Atlantic seaboard irregularly from New Hampshire in the extreme north east to Georgia, the extreme southwest, as stated.
