Brand New Book. Excerpt from Washington and His Country: Being Irving s Life of Washington; Abridged for the Use of Schools, With Introduction and Continuation, Giving a Brief Outline of United States History From the Discovery of America to the End of the Civil War IT is generally conceded, we believe, that the results of the study of history in our schools are very unsatisfactory. The pupils neither receive very distinct impressions nor acquire a love for the study of history that will lead them in after years to pursue the subject further. The attempt to enumerate all the minor events of history has obliged editors so to condense their state ments, to keep the books within the proper limits, as to rob them of that easy flow of language so necessary to any work of general interest or literary merit. The study thus becomes tedious and confusing to the child, who is not able to make a proper distinc tion between important and unimportant events. The present book proceeds on an entirely different plan. At the outset, by omitting freely the unessential points, room is given for a more careful and extended view of the leading facts, interspersed with anecdote and biography, the side lights so necessary for an inter esting presentation of a country s history. The life of Washington, a type of the noblest manhood, the central figure in the greatest epoch of our history, will tend especially to fix in the reader s mind the important events of this period.
