Part 40

The objects of the method of instruction outlined in this book are two: First, to help the pupil acquire discipline, and to train him in those methods of work which he ought to use throughout his college course; second, to give the pupil a sufficiently broad and reliable knowledge of facts to serve as a basis for his future study of constitutional history, politics, etc., and to put these facts into such due relation to each other and to commonly accepted opinions that they will not have to be re-adjusted when broader knowledge has been acquired.

The subject is divided into a series of topics; under each topic questions are asked; and after each question references to the best accessible authorities are given in abbreviated form, though in such a way as to be immediately understood. A space is left after each set of references for additional ones to be inserted by the student.

The work was used for three years in manuscript by boys in the fourth year below the Freshman class of our best universities; that is to say, at the same time with Latin and Geometry or Algebra.

Oliver Emerson Bennett, Chauncy Hall School, Boston: I consider it a valuable and useful addition to my library, and a great assistance in my daily work.

New York Independent: This is a first-rate guide for the student of United States History. It puts him on the right lines, shows him what to read, and gives him intelligent guidance and direction all through. It is hardly possible that a student following this guide should fail to come out with a broad and critical command of the subject.
