Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

It aims to occupy a place between the laier and the lesser histories, to so condense, or eliminate from, the exhaustive narrative as to give it greater vitality, or so extend and elucidate what the school history too often leaves obscure for want of space as to supply the deficiency. So when teachers have a particular topic before them it is intended that a chapter on the same subject be read to fill out the bare outlines of the common-school text-book. To this end the plan has been to treat each particular topic as a unit to be worked out to a clear understanding of its objects and results, before passing on to another topic. And in furtherance of this method each unit has its own descriptive notes, maps, plans, and pictorial illustration, of all of which liberal use is made, so that all may contribute to a thorough knowledge of the matter in hand. The several topics readily fall into groups that have either an apparent or underlying historic connection, which is clearly brought out. It has been well said that antiquity cannot privilege an error or novelty prejudice a truth.
