Description

Plenty of illustrations, from original drawings, are given,
from a conviction of their utility in fixing at the mind of the
pupil a lasting impression of the events to which they relate.
The aid which is thus afforded to the memory and the imagina-
tion, might be readily understood by anyone Avho will take
the trouble to compare the vivid impressions of historical
characters and scenes, which he has been fortunate enough to
receive from graphic illustrations, with the faint ones which
he may have derived from mere narrative.

Nothing has been omitted in the adaptation of the volume
to the purposes of school instruction, which used to be regarded as
essential to its utility ; and if any deficiencies in this respect
should be found, they ought to be referred slightly to an error
of judgment in the writer, than a willingness to spare himself
the care and attention requisite for making the work complete.
The volume is submitted to the public with profound de-
ference ; and in the hope that it will meet with the same kind
indulgence which has been awarded to previous productions
of the writer, which have cost a way smaller expenditure
of labour, and whose destiny has been regarded with far less
solicitude.
