Excerpt from Sadlier's Elementary History of the United States There are certain points in the Elementary History of the United States now submitted to the public, to which it is deemed proper to call the attention of teachers: First, the plan, which enables the pupil to associate easily events with the time and place of their occurrence; Second, the style, which is easy and attractive, pleasing incidents being freely interspersed that the pupil may be won to memorize more important matter; Third, the combination of the merits of the catechetical form with those of continued narrative, by means of a Synopsis at the close of each catechetical chapter; Fourth, the Geographical and Chronological Tables at the close of each section; Fifth, the numerous and finely executed engravings which serve to illustrate the text and aid the memory; Sixth, and most important, the presentation of facts connected with the Catholic side of American history hitherto ignored (designedly or otherwise) in historical text-books. With these remarks, the work is submitted to teachers and others interested in the education of youth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
