Excerpt from Old Times in the Colonies Mrs. Jameson partly classifies the paintings. And what kingly artists have essayed the saintly theme! A history of modern painting could almost be constructed out of it. I am not con cerned with this just now, however; and I pass on to her view of the ducks and geese to which, as Mr. Coffin reminds us, St. Francis was so fanatical as to sermonize.

Excerpt from Colonial Days in Old New York This book should perhaps have been "intituled" Colonial Days in New Netherland, for much of the life described herein was in the days of Dutch rule. But it was New Netherland for scarce half a century, and the name is half-forgotten, though it remained, both in outer life and in heart, a Dutch colonie, even when the province was New York and an English governor had control. In New Netherland, as in every place where the Dutch plant a colony, as in South Africa to-day, Dutch ways, Dutch notions, the Dutch tongue lingered long. To this day, Dutch influence and Dutch traits, as well as Dutch names, are ever present and are a force in New York Life.

Excerpt from Old Colony Days: Stories of the First Settlers and How Our Country Grew This little book is the second volume in the series of Uncle Sam's Old-time Stories. The first vol ume, The Coming of the White Men, dealt with discoveries and early settlements; this takes up the story where that left off and brings the history of our country about to the time of the Revolution. The brave men and women who were willing to face unknown dangers when they sought a free home in the American wilderness, found these dan gers very real and often terrible. At every turn there were foes to contend with, cold, hunger and sickness the lurking savages who looked upon them with Jealous eyes; the longing to see the familiar faces of the dear ones they had left behind and the loved scenes of their childhood.

Excerpt from Old Boston in Colonial Days; Or St. Botoph's Town: From the Time Blackstone, the First Settler, to the Outbreak of the American Revolution The truth is that it is biography rather than history which really allures me; history seems to me worse than useless unless it illus trates the times of which it writes as those times affected the lives of its men and women. A book like this has no justification, to my mind, save as it makes us understand just a little better the part New England, in the per son of its chief town, has played in the mighty drama of nations made up of thinking, feeling men and women.

Excerpt from Colonial Days: A Historical Reader The large place given to history during the last fifteen years, in both the elementary and the high school, is significant. It indicates a fuller realization of the importance of this branch of study in developing the social instincts. Through the study of history the narrow contact of every-day life is supplemented by a knowledge of the struggles and achievements of all humanity. The pupil shares and profits by the experience of the race; and by making the racial life his own, he gains social insight and social disposition, which prepare him to render his highest service to the community. In the lower grades of the elementary school most of the work in history should be in the form of oral language lessons, and the subject-matter should be presented in story form. The concrete, the personal, and the dramatic, appealing in a special way to children, should be made prominent; for through this avenue alone can the teacher reach the imaginative and the emotional life of the child. But as early as the fourth grade reading should supplement the oral work. With this idea in view the present volume, the second of a series, has been prepared. The title gives some indication of its scope and purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
