Excerpt from The Legendary and Myth-Making Process in Histories of the American Revolution This history of the Revolution from the whig point of view was written almost as rapidly as the events occurred, not only in the whig speeches, but in the Annual Register, an important publication of that time, still in existence, which summed up the political and diplomatic occurrences of the year both at home and abroad as they affected England. After the Revolution was ended and people began to think of writing an account of it, they found that it was the easiest thing in the world to do. Just get down the volumes of the Annual Register and there it all was for each of the seventeen years of the long controversy; each year by itself clearly and co gently written; for the Annual Register had employed the great whig orator Edmund Burke to write these summaries every year. Burke was very careful with his dates, facts and statements so far as he chose to go and the Register enjoyed a high reputation in that respect. But the statements were all whig statements; no others were admitted; no facts unfavorable to the whig line of policy were admitted; and every fact and statement was given the tinge and leaning of the whig policy. Those summaries running for seventeen years in the Register and the speeches of the whig orators were the material that the early historians of the Revolution used. Gordon, who wrote the first important and widely read history of the Revolution, copied page after page of the Register verbatim and says so in his preface to the first English edition. Those whig speeches and summaries gave the tone, the point of View and the limitations, and fixed them so rigidly that the great mass of evidence outside of those limita tions has always been rejected; and when now obtruded on the pub lic in even the mildest form, is received with staring and sometimes indignant incredulity.

First published ten years ago, award-winning historian Ray Raphael’s Founding Myths has since established itself as a landmark of historical myth-busting. With the author’s trademark wit and flair, Founding Myths exposes the errors and inventions in America’s most cherished tales, from Paul Revere’s famous ride to Patrick Henry’s “Liberty or Death” speech. For the seventy thousand readers who have been captivated by Raphael’s eye-opening accounts, history has never been the same. In this revised tenth-anniversary edition, Raphael revisits the original myths and explores their further evolution over the past decade, uncovering new stories and peeling back additional layers of misinformation. This new edition also examines the highly politicized debates over America’s past, as well as how school textbooks and popular histories often reinforce rather than correct historical mistakes. A book that “explores the truth behind the stories of the making of our nation” (National Public Radio), this revised edition of Founding Myths will be a welcome resource for anyone seeking to separate historical fact from fiction.

Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, 1912, Vol. 51: Held at Philadelphia for Promoting Useful Knowledge The problem Of determining the depth Of the Milky Way, as accurately as possible, is one which has now engaged my attention for over twenty years, and I will therefore take this occasion to bring together the results at which I have arrived, partly because they are of high general interest, and partly because the progress thus made will prove instructive as to the methods which must be adopted for the measurement of the distances of the most remote Objects Of the sidereal universe. Here we have to deal with dis tances so immense that the method of annual parallaxes, commonly used for the stars comparatively near the sun, utterly fails; and recourse must be had to other methods which will serve for the greatest distances to which our modern giant telescopes can penetrate. Alpha Centauri, the nearest of the fixed stars, was also the first to be successfully measured for parallax, by Thomas Henderson, Of the Cape of Good Hope, in 1831 but the work was not reduced till January, 1839, and meanwhile Bessel had measured the parallax of 61 Cygni in 1838 and promptly published the result Of his triumph.

Excerpt from Stories of the American Revolution, Vol. 2 A great history does not of necessity always mean a long history. The war of the American Revolution may not be great when it is considered in the light of a war; but it certainly is great as an event. Those heroic struggles of our fore fathers are as worthy of remembrance as the country they bequeathed us is worthy of preserva tion. Indeed, the two in a sense may be said to be joined. The price paid for an article some times enhances the value of the possession in the eyes of the possessor. The education of an American citizen to-day may be said not to be complete without a due appreciation of the aims, struggles, and efforts of those who have bequeath'ed their possessions to us. A heritage has no less value when we realize what it has cost in life and in sacrifice. Our ancestors lifted up a new banner before the gaze of the world. It is ours to hold it up. And no country needs a strong patriotic feeling among its people so much as does a republic. But patriotism, to be valuable, must be intelligent; and there can be no intelligence without knowledge. Inspiration to be patriotic can best be incited by learning of and from those who were themselves patriots. One such man as George Washington is worth more to our land than a horde of men who can only make money. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
