There is nothing more needed in our schools than good histories; not the dry compends ix fesent use, but elementary works that shall suggest the moral uses of history, and the provience of God, manifest in the affairs of men.

Mr. Markham’s history was used by that model for all teachers, the late Dr. Arnold, master ut the great English schuol at Rugby, and agrees in its character with his enlightened and pious view? of teaching history. It is now several years since I adapted this history to the form and pr ice acceptable in the schools in the United States. I have recently revised it, and trust that it tay be extensively serviceable in education. : sl

The principal alterations from the original are a new and more convenient division of para-

+ phs, and entire omission of the conversations annexed to the chapters. In the place of these

have affixed questions to every page that may at once facilitate the work of the teacher and the pupil. The rational and moral features of this book first commended it to me, and I have used it successfully with my own scholars.—E'ztract from the American. Editor's Preface.
