Excerpt from The First Book of History: For Children and Youth Among the multitude of books for juvenile instruction, there are not a few of an historical nature; but it is remarkable that History is not an universal, nor even a general study in our common schools. This cannot arise from any want of adaptation in the subject itself, to the purposes of instruction; on the contrary, it is manifest that it is peculiarly adapted to these purposes. We do not mean to say this of history as it has been generally treated; for most school books of this kind are but little more than extended chronological tables, and offer nothing to the reader but a tedious mass of dates, and general observations. Such works may be useful to people of mature age, but they neither amuse, nor instruct the class of readers, for whom they are designed. But of all reading, there is none that so readily attracts the attention, and lays hold of the sympathy of children and youth, as lively narratives of the enterprises, adventures, dangers, trials, successes and failures of mankind, and these it is the business of History to display. Books which treat of the works of nature and art, which exhibit geographical details, observations upon natural history, and natural philosophy - any, or all of these will be immediately thrown aside by a child left to his choice, for a book of stories, delineating events, in connexion with the developement of human passions. If then history, when properly treated, is one of the most attractive of all studies, why is it not regularly taught in all our schools? It is not because it is deemed less useful than other studies; "the proper study of mankind is man," and it cannot be entered upon too soon. After possessing a knowledge of religion, and the duties we owe to God and our neighbour, history is the most important of all studies. It relates to us what has been done by mankind, and thus teaches us what they may do. It acquaints us with the true character of our race, and enables us to know ourselves better. It apprizes us of the existence of evil, and the way to shun it; it acquaints us with the existence of good, and shows us how to attain it. It cannot be, therefore, that the limited use of history in our schools, is owing to an idea that it is useless. The fact must arise from the want of historical books, written in a style which shall render them both interesting and profitable. Such at least is the conviction of the author of this volume; and believing that a first book of History for general use in our schools is much to be desired, he has undertaken, and now offers to the public, the present volume. In preparing it, two things have been had in view. In the first place it should be useful; and in the second place to make it useful it must be entertaining. To accomplish these ends, the book is provided with maps, and before the pupil enters upon the history of any state or country, he is to learn from them, its shape, boundaries, rivers, shores, &c. He is then briefly made acquainted with its present state, its towns, and cities, and the occupations of its inhabitants. These geographical details are conveyed to the pupil, by narrating supposed travels through various countries, hi which he takes a part. The pupil, being thus acquainted with the present condition of a country, is then told its history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
