History of America (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of America<br><br>In producing the History of America, on a plan similar to our other Historical Catechisms, which have met with such universal support from those engaged in the arduous and honourable task of Education, we have only to hope that the attempt to render a knowledge of the important and interesting facts connected with it, may meet with public approbation. Though we are on all occasions most anxious to publish our elementary Works at the lowest price possible, the nature of the present subject would not allow us to compress it within the usual compass of seventy-two pages: we have therefore divided the History of America into two parts; the first, including an account of its Discovery, the progress of the Spanish arms and colonies there, and a general view of the manners and customs of the natives, with some account of its natural productions and curiosities. The second part includes the History of the British Expeditions to America, its subsequent colonization, with the rise and progress of the present powerful Republic of the United States.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
