Catechism Of Universal History Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from An Historical Catechism, Comprising the Important and Interesting Items in the History of the United States Having formerly been for some time engaged in teaching, the Author has seen the necessity of some study to fill up the interim between Geography and Arithmetic. It is doubtless true, that most children, being put at Arithmetic too early, acquire a distaste for it, because they do not understand it. This often discourages them, and ruins many who otherwise would have been good scholars. History, all will agree, may here be introduced to advantage. The present is simple and short, being barely the outlines of the history of our country. Its size and price will enable it to be purchased and studied by every person. With these reflections, it is commended to the notice of parents and teachers. He is more solicitious that a book of the kind should be adopted in our schools, than that this individual work should succeed merely because he is the author. The former editions having met with an immediate sale, (the sixth edition, of five thousand, and the seventh of seven thousand five hundred copies, and the eighth of ten thousand copies, the ninth edition of five thousand copies, ) the tenth edition of ten thousand is now offered.
