Excerpt from The American Revolution: Including Also the Beauties of American History
Tm: following Anecdotes were principally selected by a youth of twelve years of age. Having had constant ao cess to a library well supplied with books on History and Biography, he early acquired a taste for reading such works; and the present small volume is one of the results of such an attention to this species of literature. The selection was made at intervals between hours of devotion to elementary and classical study and may hence be viewed as having been rather an amusement, than a l-abo1 of painful toil and research.
