Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the United States The aim of this little book is to tell in a simple and con cise form the story of the founding and development of the United States. The study of the history of one's own country is a serious matter, and should be entered upon by the text-book writer, by the teacher, and by the pupil in a serious spirit, even to a greater extent than the study of language or of arithmetic. No effort has been made, therefore, to make out of this text-book a story book. It is' a'-text-book pure and simple, and should be used as a text-book; to be studied' diligently by the pupil and expounded carefully by the teacher.
