Excerpt from The United States, a History of Three Centuries, 1607-1904, Vol. 1 of 10: Population, Politics, War, Industry, CivilizationIN the preparation of this new History of the United States the authors have several purposes in view. Of these, the first is to present, Within the moderate compass of ten volumes, an authoritative account, based upon the latest and best-approved research and scholarship. A second purpose is to present more comprehensively than has been done in any earlier work of similar size the several essen tial divisions of the history of our country. To this end, it is necessary to reduce somewhat the com parative space apportioned to political and military events in order to present with sufficient fulness of detail the less familiar records of industry, com merce, finance, religion, education, and literature. A third aim is to associate in closely defined sections in each volume the facts peculiarly pertinent to the several subjects. The chief advantage of this feature of the plan is that it secures for the reader a definite and consistent record of the progress of the country in the well-recognized lines of politics, industry, and general culture. A fourth purpose is to present this account vividly and with all the interest that properly attaches to the history of our nation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
