PREFATORY NOTE
This work is based on a careful study of the
highest recognized authorities on the subject. Its purpose is to
present in a clear, connected, and forcible manner the important
events in the history of our country.
The author has had three chief objects in view,
-- accuracy of statement, simplicity of style, impartiality of
treatment.
In the preparation of this work his grateful
acknowledgments are due to John Franklin Jameson, Director of the
Department of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, for his valuable assistance in the revision of the
proof sheets. The author also desires to express his thanks for
the use of books and papers in the Library of Harvard University,
the Library of Congress, and the Library of the Massachusetts
Historical Society, and he is especially indebted to the Librarian
and the attendants of the Boston athenaeum for the aid they have
so courteously rendered him.
The present edition has been revised throughout
and brought up to date.
