Excerpt from Historical Class Book: Containing Sketches of History, From the Beginning of the World to the End of the Roman Empire in Italy, A. D. 476
We offer the first part of the Historical Class Book. If this mode of treating history should prove to be useful, we expect to publish a second part, comprising similar sketches, from the end of the Roman Empire in Italy, A. D. 476, to the Reformation; and a third part, containing sketches from the Reformation to the present time.
We suppose that such a mode of treating history may comprise enough for general information in schools; and lay a foundation for more comprehensive study of history. The author does not pretend that there is any thing new in these pages, except in the attempt to apply the experience of ancient nations, to the people of the United States.
There is but one map with this volume; and that is added more for the purpose of delineating the square in Asia, and that of the Mediterranean, than any other. It was not supposed to be necessary to prepare maps (of which there should be several if any) as there are maps in common use which are sufficient.
